Book Description
'Ki aku tipuna he mihi tenei ki a koutou. Arahitia matou i runga i tenei huarahi. To our ancestors – I greet you – take us on this journey about our women who have gone before and who have achieved marvellous deeds that will inspire our young people of today.' In Manawa Hine (literally, 'stout-hearted women'), Queenie Rikihana celebrates four young women – Kahe te Rau o te Rangi, Hinepoupou, Huria Matenga and Pania of Hukarere – who had the courage to overcome insurmountable odds. In all cases their actions involved swimming in the sea and trusting in their tipuna to be with them in times of peril. Lovingly told, with striking line drawings by artist Sarah Wairau, these are stories that will inspire, entertain and remain with the reader.

Book Description
From master storyteller Witi Ihimaera, a spellbinding and provocative retelling of traditional Maori myths for the twenty-first century. In this milestone volume, Ihimaera traces the history of the Maori people through their creation myths. He follows Tawhaki up the vines into the firmament, Hine-titama down into the land of the dead, Maui to the ends of the earth, and the giants and turehu who sailed across the ocean to our shores . . . From Hawaiki to Aotearoa, the ancient navigators brought their myths, while looking to the stars — bright with gods, ancestors and stories — to guide the way. ‘Step through the gateway now to stories that are as relevant today as they ever were.’

Book Description
This classic text on Maori culture collects indigenous New Zealand songs recorded over a period of 40 years by a respected Maori leader and distinguished scholar. The essence of Maori culture and its musical tradition is exhibited in the original song texts, translations, audio CDs, and notes from contemporary scholars featured in this new edition. This rare cultural treasure makes accessible a fleeting moment in Maori history when traditional practices and limited experience with the outside world allowed indigenous songs and customs to flourish.
