English News Weekly

This week’s ENW podcast reports on the dilemma facing New Zealand over its colonial past. This month is the 250th anniversary of the landing of Captain James Cook on the north-east shore of the country’s North Island. Modern-day New Zealand stems from that first European incursion, yet the landing also spelled the death-nail for the country’s aboriginal peoples. How is New Zealand marking the anniversary? What is the reaction from the iwi people? ENGLISH NEWS WEEKLY will try and explain all.
