Arana Collett, is an adjunct professor of Te Wananga O Aotearoa, the largest Maori Tertiary Education Institution in Aotearoa New Zealand. Arana is a "pakeha" with 100% European bloodlines, who immersed himself in Maori culture and language in the late 1970's. Shortly after becoming a fluent speaker, Arana was asked by Maori elders and community leaders working within the language revitalization movement to teach others. He is now one of the most respected figures in the language revitalization movement in all of Aotearoa New Zealand. His perspective of coming from a "paheka" background offers a very interesting look at both cultures.Waka Huia Yr2013 Ep26
