EPISODE 1 - COOK'S LEGACYPākehā New Zealanders need to take their colonial guilt and turn it into action, say subjects in a new online video series Land of the Long White Cloud. A range of Pākehā share their experiences and insights in the seven-part series, funded by NZ On Air and screening on nzherald.co.nz. Their message is that there will be no easy absolution from the behaviour of Pākehā in the past...... www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12277203

EPISODE 2 - RECOGNISING RACISMPākehā are the real problem when it comes to poor social outcomes for Māori, says former New Plymouth mayor Andrew Judd. In a new short documentary series Land of the Long White Cloud, Judd says that during his time as mayor of the city he examined the alarming statistics for Māori in health, education, incarceration rates, homelessness and poverty. He realised that they were doing poorly based on "policies that Europeans have created. So those outcomes for Māori are actually at the hand of us. We're the problem."..... www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12276483

EPISODE 3 - INHERITING PRIVILEGEPākehā New Zealanders are creating blocks for Māori to pursue their own health and wellbeing, she says. "We can't understand Te Tīriti itself if we don't understand this context of hundreds of years of settlement of tangata whenua and that they had all the systems in place of law, education, health and then understanding the process that followed, which was a complete disregard of Te Tiriti and the process of colonisation."..... www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12276640

EPISODE 4 - 'PĀKEHĀ PARALYSIS' Don't let Pākehā paralysis make you too scared to try te reo and tikanga Māori - but do think about why you're doing it. That's the message from te reo Māori advocate Alex Hotere-Barnes in episode 4 of the NZ On Air-funded documentary series Land of the Long White Cloud. Hotere-Barnes shares his unique perspective as a Pākehā New Zealander who grew up in a primarily Māori environment..... www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12276665

EPISODE 5 - CONFRONTING COLONISATIONTwo Wellington-based "solidarity activists" are calling on Pākehā New Zealanders to move past their white guilt because "we need to be having a productive conversation about this instead of just talking about your feelings". The subjects of the fifth instalment of short documentary series Land of the Long White Cloud by filmmaker Kathleen Winter, Zeb Schrader and Ensai August are among a wave of young Pākehā who are questioning their privilege and becoming activists for Māori rights. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12277205

EPISODE 6 - CONNECTING TO AOTEAROAMany Pākehā New Zealanders are using Māori spiritual traditions to fill a void in their own lives, says Juliet Batten, an Auckland-based author and former psychotherapist. Batten believes that Pākehā New Zealanders suffer from a deep lack of spiritual connection to the land which makes it difficult to have a positive, reciprocal relationship with Māori. "We can ask Māori to supply our spiritual void, our spiritual emptiness, and that's colonising again," she says in the NZ On Air-funded documentary series Land of the Long White Cloud..... www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12277207

EPISODE 7 - COOK THINKS AGAINIn the final episode of NZ On Air-funded online documentary series Land of the Long White Cloud, Randerson explains: "As Pākehā we sometimes try to distance ourselves with 'oh that was Cook and his ways back then'. We ignore how much of that thinking we still carry in us." Clarke, who plays a humorously merciless Cook in the walking tour, says that putting on the colonial garb for the performance "feels so horribly loaded". But award-winning playwright and theatre producer, Randerson, explains "I was really using [Cook] as a vehicle for us to unpack what colonial thinking looks like." www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12277208
