Portrait of Barry Barclay. Stills Collection, Ngā Taonga Sound & Vision. Ref. No. S5355

Nā Graeme Tuckett tēnei pakipūmeka kua whakanuia nei e pā ana ki a Barry Barclay nāna i para i te rori i te ao kiriata Māori (nō Ngāti Apa, he Pākehā hoki), mā Ngā Taonga Sound & Vision rāua ko Te Manatū Taonga hei kawe ake.

Mate ai a Barclay i te tau 2008, he pukumahi ana mahi whakatūtū, he kaitohutohu i ngā tino kiriata i ngā pakipūmeka me ngā hōtaka pouaka whakaata pēnei i a Ngati, Tangata Whenua me The Neglected Miracle. Nāna hoki i kōkiri te take kia riro mā te iwi taketake ā rātou kōrero hei kawe.

E kī ana a Neill Atkinson, arā te Te Poutaki Tuarua o Manatū Taonga, mā te whakaaturanga nei e tīmata ai ētehi kōrerorero e pā ana ki te hitōria, ngā mātāpono, te ahurea me Te Tiriti.

I werohia e Barry ngā kaimātakitaki kia uia, mā wai ngā pakiwaitara Māori hei kōrero, ki a wai, mō te aha hoki.

"E tika ana te wā whakaatu i te kiriata nei i te inapōtanga tonu o te hararei Matariki tuatahi, he hararei ā-motu hou hei whakanui i te ao Māori."

Kātahi anō mātou ka whakamātau ki te whakaatu kiriata kia pēnei. He ara hou tēnei hei hari kaupapa whakahirahira ki ētehi tāngata anō.

"E hīkaka hoki ana mātou nō te mea ka tae mai te kaitohu rongonui o te kiriata a Graeme Tuckett, rāua ko te kaiētita a Annie Collins ki te whakaaturanga, ka noho mai hoki ki te utu haere i ngā pātai a te whakaminenga.

E aki ana au ki a tātou kia haere mai mehemea e āhei ana, ka noho ki te titiro, ka noho mai hoki ki te kōrerorero. He mahinga pai tēnei i mua tonu i te mutunga wiki o te hararei o Matariki."

Ka whakaatungia a Barry Barclay: Camera on the Shore ki te Taiwhanga Kauhau ki Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa ki Te Whanganui-a-Tara. Kāore he utu ki te kuhu atu, ehara i te mea me rēhita. Kua mutu te hiahia a te Puna Mātauranga ki ngā Tiwhikete Ārai Mate i ngā hui hapori, engari me mau ārai kanohi ki te Taiwhanga kia puta atu tātou.

Mō ētehi atu whakamārama mō ngā mahi haumaru i raro i te Mate Kōwheori, tirohia te paetukutuku a Te Puna Mātauranga.
