If you are interested in different culture more than different language background, https://www.rnz.co.nz/programmes/black-sheep might be interesting
Thank you. ๐ That is actually right up my alley, although I prefer to hear from the indigenous perspective for now. NZ people of settler lineage are generally the same group Iโm trying to avoid (including my own native Irish people who speak English as a first language). I will come back to it though so thanks again.
Yeah, I understand - fwiw, RNZ is the national (government backed) broadcaster, and has an explicit mandate to elevate the perspectives of iwi. Black Sheep specifically has done a few episodes about the musket wars and land confiscation that really don't pull punches.
Another that might fit your brief: https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/stuff-the-british-stole - from the ABC, and for the most part does a really good job of setting up the story with some historical context, then letting the people actually effected tell the rest
Iโve subscribed to both based on the background info you gave so thank you again. I do find those histories a bit bleak, having grown up in the (relatively distant) aftermath of it. But if those voices are represented then I think Iโd be interested.
