    3 weeks ago | teaonews.co.nz | Myjanne Jensen

    The 28-year-old from Tokoroa recently sat down for a kōrero with Te Ao with Moana reporter Hikurangi Jackson in the city of Nagoya (Japan), where he now plays rugby union for Toyota Verblitz after a surprise code switch in late 2024.

  • Father and son’s beach find may be NZ’s greatest archaeological discovery

    1 month ago | nzherald.co.nz | Myjanne Jensen

    Nikau and his dad Vincent Dix uncovered a centuries-old waka on the Chatham Islands. Photo / Te Ao with Moana. A father and son discovered an ocean-voyaging waka on Rēkohu, leading to a significant archaeological find. Around 400 pieces, including unique carvings and braided rope, suggest the waka could be very old. The origin and age remain a mystery, with local iwi and Moriori offering different theories on its provenance.

  • Ocean Waka: ‘Most important discovery in New Zealand archaeology’

    1 month ago | teaonews.co.nz | Myjanne Jensen |Hikurangi Jackson

    Until now, the archaeological dig and key personalities involved have been kept under wraps. Much remains unknown about the true provenance of the waka - who built it, when and where it came from.
