As a boy, he never heard his father raise his voice in anger. Sometimes, his parents would ask him and his siblings to leave the room. When Te Moananui-ā-Kiwa Goddard grew older he realised it was because they were having a disagreement. But the sound of their voices never carried. That desire to protect has stuck with him.
“I don’t really want to dictate to my kids what they should be, but if there’s anything I could encourage in them it’s just to be a good, loving person,” he says. “Yeah, just love. That’s the most important thing to me.”

HARI WITH THE MAORI
SIDESTEPS premieres its classic Maori showband
style of comedy on Maori Television this Wednesday 3 March
2021 at 8.00 PM.
Cohen Holloway (Ngati Toa Rangatira),
Jamie McCaskill (Ngati Tamatera), Regan Taylor (Ngati
Kahungunu, Te Arawa) and Erroll Anderson (Ngapuhi, Ngati
Hau) use skits, sitcom and song to showcase their talents as
actors, singers and all-round entertainers before a live
audience at Te Raukura ki Kapiti on the Kapiti
Coast.
The six-part series captures the essence of the
Maori Sidesteps as they delight their audiences with witty
songs, big harmonies and sitcoms such as ‘Daddy Day
The outfit journeys to their sacred maunga, so Captain Māori can present a taonga to the youngest team member Maiti. Unfortunately they end up on the wrong mountain, there’s an earthquake and poor Maiti is lost. They learn (from Kanu, a message and scroggin bearing bird) of Colonel Whitmore s planned attack on Tītokowaru at Moturoa. Captain Maori tells his men “gather round, I can’t see you”. It’s a solo show, and I found that hilarious. A plan is formed and the remaining team splits in half. Captain Māori and Sergeant Anahera to the dysentery afflicted Colonel to persuade him not to attack, Doctor Hōpe and Corporal Kirokangi to the pā to convince chief Tītokowaru not to egg the Crown on. The plan in action is farcical, the battle they were trying to prevent goes ahead, and they suffer a loss and make a gain. In the end, Company Kamupene endures to continue trying (and probably failing) to make a difference.
