6 April 2015 Coming up on Te Karere... The passing of a judicial pioneer is mourned at Te Mahurehure Marae. A shock loss for our Sevens team in Tokyo. And NZers in London learn a well-known waiata for the ANZAC centenary. Due to the live nature of Te Karere, some segments will not be subtitled. Tena koutou katoa, and welcome to Te Karere. The man credited with creating our internationally acclaimed youth justice system has passed away. Judge Mick Brown died over the weekend aged 77, and is lying at Te Mahurehure Marae, Auckland. Manawa Wright reports. Mick Brown a great leader prominent in the legal profession has passed. He was the first Maori district court judge. He was also the first judge of the Youth Court. He was a really great person. He will never be forgotten for his service to everyone as well as all the different ways he designed to help each and every one. He is at Te Mahurehure Marae. His beliefs and views surrounding youth rehabilitation was one of the areas he succeeded in when he was alive. He came up with the concept of having a rangatahi court being held on a marae. It was clever and fantastic idea to have the offenders' and victim's whanau to have an important role to play. Through his role as a judge, the law surrounding rangatahi was changed from standing just before the court. In 1989 it was changed with the whanau of the offender and victim coming together. In addition to his 27 years of legal experience, he was also the first Pro Vice-Chancellor (Maori) at the University of Auckland. He was also heavily involved in developing rangatahi golfers. He will lay here for a night then he will be taken to Tatai Hono for another service when at 10AM he will be buried at Waikumete Cemetery. Manawa Wright, Te Karere. Archaeologists say they've found new evidence Archaeologists say they've found new evidence Polynesian explorers visited the Kermadec Islands 700 years ago on their way back from discovering NZ. A piece of volcanic glass from the Bay of Plenty has been found 1000 kilometres north on Macauley Island. 1000km north of the North Island are the Kermedec Islands where archaeologists have found remains, tools and gardens pointing to early Maori settlement. Anchor stones where waka were tied have been found along with umu, hangi stones, NZ bird remains and whale bone pendants. During the 14th century experts believe Polynesian explorers voyaged south, discovered NZ and the sub Antarctic islands, then turned back. These flints were used as tools, and many more stones like these were found by archaeologists. Here in the sand dunes they've found a stone oven with seal bones. Tests show this piece of volcanic glass also comes from the Bay of Plenty. There are so many Polynesian and Maori artefacts, you can literally pick them up off the road. Our early history that experts want to do a lot more digging into. Peata Melbourne, Te Karere. Finland is heralded as a leader in education. Its high rates of literacy and numeracy are clear indicators of success. But Finland has outlined plans to drastically change its education system in an effort to better equip students for the future. But as Manawa Wright reports, Finland's new educational model replicates the system used for decades by kura kaupapa Maori. Today's topic is learning about the connection between Maori and native Hawaians. There are many subjects under this initiative. Also implementing a collaborative approach to discuss and solve problems. It's better to tie in the minor subjects into the major curriculums. This is no Finnish school, but they are working to come away from focusing too much on one subject for the sake of the bigger picture. I'm surprised to hear that a Western country has thought to follow in our wake, to take a leaf from the teaching style kura kaupapa Maori have been using since inception. This raises question about the latest MOE stats. Our long-term goals are the same Our long-term goals are the same to prepare our children for life in the 21st century, a goal that is no doubt shared throughout the world. Manawa Wright, Te Karere. Hahana - the first of Maori web series to hit the internet in the coming week. It's the first of its kind to be funded by Te Mangai Paho, but what exactly is it? Pere Wihongi spoke to the brand new presenter of the show, Sonny Ngatai. It's the first Maori series of its kind. A specific kind only found on the internet, and now for the first time on TV screens. It's an online web-series called Hahana, so it's on YouTube, it's on Facebook. It's a series celebrating youth. Shining and radiating the voices of Manawatu, Horowhenua. That's the goal. Sponsored and supported by TMP, another first. The funding from Te Mangai Paho allows Hahana to acknowledge and celebrate our culture through a different medium. With strong beliefs that the internet is the place to gain the attention of all youth. It's the first presenting job for Ngatai, he studies at Auckland University. Also possibly a point of difference for Hahana to other web series. I think the differences are that I'm on Hahana, that's one of the main ones. Nah! But even though it's a new form and a new show, the spirit is nostalgic, celebrating our culture through entertainment. When you watch Hahana, you receive the biggest smile that you can't rub off. So if you're searching for a smile or two, it's as simple as typing Hahana in your online search box. Hahana will be online next week. Pere Wihongi, Te Karere.

To the weather now. For weather, see tvnz.co.nz. An old war-time song composed by Paraire Tomoana nearly a hundred years ago is to be revived on the other side of the world this Anzac Day. More than 200 New Zealanders are learning the song and actions to E Pari Ra, and they'll be performing it en mass for this year's Anzac Day dawn ceremony in London. Tides of all ages have come to London House to learn one of our all-time songs. It's been almost a century since Paraire Tomoana wrote the song, a tribute to his relative Whakatomo who died in WW1. It will be heard once more at the Anzac dawn service in London, when more than 200 NZers perform the song in a mass waiata. Just like his own forebear who led the haka in Gallipoli, Hall is leading the Kiwis as they prepare for the big day. Almost all of the people here share personal connections. Anzac Day service will be a bit more special this year. It's where the first Anzac commemorations took place after the war. The may have disappear, but his song remains.
