When Murdoch was 11, he met Māori Warden Joyce Williams on a highway and she changed his life. We hear about her lifelong dedication to manaaki and the trailblazing work of Aotearoa's Wātene Māori.

Uncover the 170 year history of Māori Wardens. From their 19th-century origins and challenges like urban migration, to their near-loss in the 70s, and Mātua Peter Walden's pivotal role in their revival.

Wardens bring something police just can’t, and police say they couldn’t do without them. Featuring stories of pork bones and watercress with gang leaders and acts of inter-agency manaaki.

We’re with Marino at Sunday Blessings, a free community meal in Auckland. Witness Māori Wardens' vital support and compassionate presence, as they offer warmth, de-escalation, and love to all in need.

Join us as we explore the origins of wardens in the wild. How do individuals become Māori Wardens, through accidental recruitment, purposeful choice, or being born into the role?

We look to the future of Māori Wardens, examining calls for unity, funding, and modernising outdated legislation. How do we ensure the vital manaaki thrives amidst internal and external challenges?
