The Mataora Myth

The Spiral Tattoo, Mrs Adele Schafer's play based on he legend of Mataora and Niwareka, was to have been broadcast from all YA, YZ and YW stations on Monday 15 August at 7.30 p.m.

Readers will no doubt recall Mrs Schafer's articles in Issue 51, the first comparing the Mataora and Hutu myths with stories from agricultural societies all over the world, and the second examining the relationship between the Maori and Sanskrit languages.
