Kia oti rawa, e!Haare Williams grew up with his Tuhoe grandparents on the shores of Ohiwa Harbour on the East Coast of New Zealand in a te reo world of Tane and Tangaroa, Te Kooti and the old testament, myths and legends and of Nani Wai and curried cockle stew - a world that Haare left behind when he learnt English at school and moved to the city of Auckland.Over the last half-century, through the Maori arts movement, waves of protest and the rise of Maori broadcasting, Haare Williams has witnessed and played a part in the changing shape of Maoridom.

Te Kirihimete i Whakakorea (Santa's Worst Christmas Te Reo Maori Edition) by Pania Tahau-Hodges, Bryony Walker

$20.00 NZD

Category: Maori

This book is the te reo Māori edition of Santa's Worst Christmas. There are just a few days to go before Christmas, and everyone’s busy putting up decorations, preparing food and getting ready for the big day. Then comes the shock news – Santa’s cancelled Christmas. Santa had so many disasters last year that he can’t face it again, and he’s quit. The elves try everything, but they can’t get him to change his mind. In this Aotearoa Christmas picture book, the kids come up with a clever plan and amazing gadgets to get Christmas back on and Santa back in the sleigh delivering presents. The children are the heroes of the story as they set to work and make gadgets to help Santa with each of the problems he encountered last Christmas, such as losing the sleigh keys, finding his Santa suit had `shrunk' (again), having trouble accessing his naughty and nice lists because of IT issues, and getting stressed out in celestial traffic jams. The story has the setting and trimmings of a Kiwi Christmas that children in the southern hemisphere will recognise. It is full of humour as Santa encounters glitches on his Christmas deliveries and the children make a survival kit for Santa by repurposing everyday objects. This picture book is for children 4-8 years old.  Te reo Māori edition. ...Show more

Rebuilding the Kainga - Lessons from Te Ao Hurihuri (BWB Texts) by Jade Kake

$14.99 NZD

Category: Maori

Home can and should be a source of wellbeing, a place that connects us to our whanau, community, land, culture and history. Pre-nineteenth-century Maori society was complex: rich tribal economies were built and flourished, and there was a focus on valuing the whenua and resources that supported all. The dominant form of settlement and the focal point of social and economic activities were Kainga (unfortified villages). However, colonial settlement and the discriminatory policies of successive governments disrupted social structures and severed the connections to Kainga. Today, the home ownership rate for Maori is well below the national average and Maori are over-represented in the statistics of substandard housing. Rebuilding the Kainga charts the resurgence of contemporary papakainga on whenua Maori over the last three decades. Kake draws on innovative international models to sketch out a vision where Maori are supported to build businesses and affordable homes on whanau, hapu or Treaty settlement lands and describes the policy direction needed to make this a reality. ...Show more
