This interview with Liana Poutu was recorded not long after COVID-lockdown to get her take on Taranaki iwi  community checkpoints.

Her story was nothing like what was portrayed with respect to ‘ roadblocks ’ in many media outlets, illustrating the benefit of getting such information first-hand.

Liana represents the here-and-now of where Te Ao Māori is at in Aotearoa. I always love talking with her and this chat was no exception.
