This week’s Reclaimed is an acknowledgement of Waitangi Day,
and can be listened to at https://tinyurl.com/bdhbtrnn (53 minutes).

Here is the blurb from that web site:

"Feb. 4, 2026
Reclaimed is the home to the next wave of Indigenous music on CBC. Combining 
past, present and future this series explores the many worlds of Indigenous 
music and introduces listeners to a new generation of Indigenous artists 
reclaiming their culture through music and song.

On this episode, it's an acknowledgement of Waitangi Day. We're spending some 
extra time with our Māori relatives in Aotearoa to honour their music on the 
occasion of the Treaty of Waitangi: the founding agreement between Māori and 
the British Crown signed in 1840. There’s a bona fide Māori music 
renaissance happening right now and you can find waiata inte reo and English 
in almost any genre. It's a shining example of the impact and importance 
Indigenous art can have. However, it doesn't come easy - the preservation, 
promotion and proliferation of Native culture is an ongoing battle. And, 
that's why even though the Māori resurgence is multi-dimensional - one of 
its most meaningful foundations is language. Get ready to hear songs in te 
reo capturing the pride and power of captivating sounds flowing through the 
South Pacific. Reclaimed the Indigenous Next Wave!"

face alone the plans you make; Decisions they will try to break” (S.McL.)
