Reading

We have been reading different books and articles to help us understand the concept of turangawaewae.

The Waka Huia by Gabrielle Huria

This is the story of a young child's journey to "understand the wisdom of his tribe." 



The Fish of Maui by Peter Gossage

The story of how Maui fished up the North Island of New Zealand (Te Ika a Maui) when he sneaks onto his brothers canoe after they have refused to take him fishing.



The Magic of the Poor Knights Island by Kate Malcolm

Thanks to Kate Malcolm for allowing a copy of her work to be used on this blog.

Here are some links that explain the history of the area more fully as well as how important it is for us to look after the area for future generations.
