Lost in Translation The Bay of Plenty (Fedarb) sheet
Tonight (Rotorua/Taupo/Opotiki/Whakatane/Taneatua): Why are two large Bay of Plenty tribes missing from our nation’s founding document? This episode investigates the travels of two separate sheets with quite different outcomes. One went inland to Taupo and Rotorua, but what happened when it was presented to Te Arawa and Ngati Tuwharetoa? The case of the vanishing sheet. The other sheet goes off with a coastal trader called James Fedarb, whose descendants are interviewed. Later, King saddles up and heads into Tuhoe, to find out from Tamati Kruger why they didn’t sign.
LOST IN TRANSLATION – sees Mike King retrace the journey taken by the Treaty of Waitangi, back in 1840, to find the real story of what happened at the founding of our nation. He finds the descendants of those who signed, those who didn’t, and people whose forebears were the Treaty carriers - from missionaries to military men and traders. Nine versions of the document that founded our nation were brought around Aotearoa to gather up signatures, following the signings on that first Waitangi Day on February 6.
