Archive of Māori and Pacific Sound – 50th Anniversary Podcast
“The voices of ancestors is something that’s extremely powerful in Pacific worlds.”
The Archive of Māori and Pacific Sound (AMPS) 50th Anniversary Podcast is a series of talanoa (conversations) with five significant anthropologists from the University of Auckland, in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Archive of Māori and Pacific Sound.
Dame Anne Salmond has played a crucial role in raising awareness of a Māori worldview in the eyes of non-Māori; educating a mainstream audience on misconceptions held about Māori, and advocating tirelessly for an inclusive Aotearoa New Zealand. The Distinguished Professor spoke with AMPS staff about her contributions to the archive over the past five decades, sharing details of her field work, research, and the importance of oral history in allowing our ancestors to “speak into the future”.

TV and Radio Playlist
Celebrate Te Wiki o te Reo Māori with our TV and Radio Playlist, featuring resources for te reo learning, short films, documentary series and more.
Māori Television’s Whare Taonga showcases significant buildings that are the vessels for our stories, our histories, and our futures. Included in the playlist is an episode on the history of the University’s own Waipapa Marae and the struggle for a Māori presence in an academic environment. The fight spanned decades and ended in a student occupation which finally enabled carver Paki Harrison to create a peaceful space for all students for generations to come at the University of Auckland Waipapa Taumata Rau.
