Part 1 of a talk story about oral history with three leading scholars: Nepia Mahuika (Massey University), Davianna Pōmaikaʻi McGregor (UH Mānoa), and Ty Kāwika Tengan (UH Mānoa).

"Oral History in the Pacific" features our three guests in conversation about storytelling practices in their home communities in Aotearoa New Zealand and Hawaiʻi. In Part 1, they talk about kōrero tuku iho and moʻo ʻōlelo; share different stories about Māui as a trickster, advocate, and ancestor; and discuss the relationship between storytelling and the written word.
