Whatiwhatihoe investigates a complex bundle of issues often referred to simply as a tribal "resource claim" but that really concern factors spanning the total social, political, and economic spectrum.
Whatiwhatihoe tracks the origins and history of the Waikato raupatu claim, focusing particularly on the ways the claim has been handled.
