NZ Wars: Stories of Tainui
12 FEB. 2021 · A new documentary with accompanying podcast casts fresh light on a campaign in the New Zealand Wars. NZ Wars: Stories of Tainui is the third part of a series produced for RNZ by Great Southern Television and looks at the events surrounding the invasion of the Waikato by soldiers of the Crown in 1863. The action preserved the power of what is now one of Aotearoa's oldest political institutions- the Kingitanga- and paved the way for land confiscations that remain the subject of discussion (and Treaty settlements) to this day. We speak to the show's host and creator Mihingarangi Forbes, and to Waikato Tribal Historian Rahui Papa.

US nuclear testing legacy lingers in the Marshall Islands
12 DIC. 2020 · During the 1940s and 50s the US detonated 67 nuclear bombs on, in and above the Marshall Islands as part of its Cold War nuclear testing programme. The Marshall Islands are two chains of 29 coral atolls in the middle of the Pacific Ocean between Papua New Guinea and Hawaii. At the time, whole islands ceased to exist, hundreds of native Marshallese had to be relocated off their home islands and many were affected by fallout from the testing. The Marshallese continue to campaign for adequate compensation from the U.S. Runit Dome, on Enewetak Atoll, houses 88,000 square metres of contaminated soil and debris, and has recently received media attention due to cracking and the threat from rising sea levels. Giff Johnson is the editor of The Marshall Islands Journal, correspondent for Radio New Zealand and runs the facebook page "Marshall Islands Nuclear News". He's experienced the unfolding legacy of US nuclear testing in the Marshall Islands first hand. His wife Darlene Keju, an outspoken advocate for test victims and nuclear survivors, herself died of cancer in 1996. Johnson has written a book about her called Don't Ever Whisper
