About this episode
While The Front Page is taking its summer break, we will be shining a spotlight on some of the biggest podcasts and news events from the New Zealand Herald network over the last year.
Growing up in Australia with a Danish father and a Māori-Pakeha mother, Myjanne Jensen always had this sense of not feeling Māori "enough". After moving back to the Far North in 2021, she started her journey of coming home and trying to better connect with her roots.
In The Māori in Me, a podcast series from the NZ Herald, Jensen connects with other mixed-race Māori to discuss making that cultural connection and coming to terms with the complexity of their identities.
In this episode, she talks with renowned Māori academic and rights activist, Professor Margaret Mutu, about what life was like in the Far North at the start of the 20th century and the impact of colonisation on the region and beyond.
