Summary: This major Maori translation is a book of national importance with special value for all descendants of Te Arawa and residents of Rotorua. Pukaki - Te Hokinga Mai o te Auahituroa records the life and transformations of Pukaki, an ancestral father of Ngati Whakaue of Te Arawa. From mortal rangatira to international icon in the Te Maori exhibition, follow Pukaki on his return home to Rotorua in 1997, his representation on New Zealand's 20-cent coin, and his subsequent relocation to the Rotorua Museum. Winner of the 2000 E.H. McCormick Best First Book Award for Non-Fiction, this heavily illustrated work intersperses the author's research with the memories of Ngati Whakaue elders. This te Reo edition, brilliantly translated by Scotty Morrison of Ngāti Whakaue, updates the story of Pūkaki through to 2017. (Publisher)
