Remarkable stories of twenty-four inspirational tupuna of Te Tai Tokerau.
From peacemakers and strategists to explorers and entrepreneurs, the tūpuna of the North are an inspiration to the people of Te Tai Tokerau. This remarkable book by Melinda Webber and Te Kapua O’Connor introduces a new generation to twenty-four of those tūpuna – Nukutawhiti and Hineāmaru, Hongi Hika and Te Ruki Kawiti, and many more.
Through whakapapa and kōrero, waiata and pepeha, we learn about their actions, their places, their values, and their aspirations.
