Summary

"Mā tini, mā mano ka rangatira a kapa haka" Kapa haka flourishes through the efforts of many. Embrace the joy and wonder that is kapa haka through the experiences, people and triumphs of the past 24 festivals, and relive memories that will stir, ignite and uplift the soul.  He Tau Makuru: 50 Years of Te Matatini National Kapa Haka Festival showcases and exemplifies the pursuit of kapa haka excellence. It is a rich history as shared by those who have lived it. At the heart of Te Matatini are the people. We hear their stories of innovation and inspiration, about the groups, the compositions and the performances. And there are tributes to generations of kapa haka exponents and their legacies. This is a celebration of our language, our culture and our identity as Māori on a national and global stage. This is the story of Te Matatini so far.

    In nineteenth-century Alabama, a drama of love, fate, and will is played out amid the intellectual ferment and racial tensions that defined the era. Annie Sullivan, an inexperienced 20-year-old teacher, is invited to aid a sickly deaf-blind girl who is considered dumb, and whose parents contemplate sending to an insane asylum. 
When the young teacher agrees to treat the child with her experimental "manual alphabet," she never expects that she will find solace in the friendship with the little girl. Only through facing her own inner demons can the gifted teacher begin to help her pupil. 
In The Teacher, Marcel Moring blends fact and fiction, atmosphere and suspense, to uncover the 50 years of tumultuous relationship between the most famous student-teacher pair who ever lived. This is an unforgettable story about the redemptive power of true friendship.
