| Brief Description: | The land in which we live is not inert: it holds our history, the stories of our ancestors, and the key to understanding who we are. In the East Cape lands of Ngati Porou, there is an especially keen sense of the ancestral environment, but the changing lifestyle of the modern era has left of the present generation ignorant of their past.
The 23 stories collected in He Taonga Tuku Iho brings some of this fascinating history to a wider audience. Supported by the dynamic illustrations of Mananwa o te Rangi Waipara, Bob McConnell takes the reader on a narrative journey of the East Cape, recreating some of the great battles and rivalries, friendships and love affairs of the days gone by. |
