Every Monday on Nights we invite a guest on the show to share a whakataukī - a Māori proverb - that's meaningful to them.
And with Te Matatini taking place this week, we're joined by a leader in the competition's host region of Taranaki.
Wharehoka Wano, the chief executive of Te Kahui o Taranaki, joins Emile Donovan to share the tears, sweat and determination leading up to Matatini.
