Category: Māori History

The journey of the carved house Hinemihi o Te Ao Tawhito (Hinemihi of the old world) is one defined by cataclysmic events and the unpredictability of elemental forces. Through eruptions, fires, wars and displacement she has endured. Today she is a revered kuia, adored by her iwi in the United Kingdom an d her original owners and creators, Tuhourangi as well as wider iwi of Te Arawa. Hinemihi is also an artwork, a taonga of rare beauty whose artist carvers, Tene Waitere and Wero Taroi, are celebrated in this publication. Hinemihi o Te Ao Tawhito will soon return to Aotearoa, after over a century standing in the gardens of Clandon Park in Surrey, home of the Onslow family whose ties to New Zealand date to the tenure of the 4th Earl, William Hillier Onslow's tenure as Governor-General in the 1890s. This publication is also a celebration of one of New Zealand's great photographic artists Mark Adams and marks his recent exhibition Hinemihi: Te Hokinga - The Return at Two Rooms Gallery in July and August, 2020 Hinemihi: Te Hokinga - The Return also features numerous unpublished historic images sourced from private collections and New Zealand Museums. The preparation of the publication has taken place in close consultation with Nga Kohinga Whakairo - the Rotorua based organization which represents Hinemihi's ancestral iwi Tuhourangi, Ngati Hinemihi and Ngati Tarawhai. ...Show more

Category: Maori Books

This special photo book documents a wananga or class for three generations of women from Ngati Torehina Ki Mataka to learn the customary practice of pelting North Island brown kiwi so their feathers can be used for weaving. This passing on of customary knowledge developed out of a partnership between co nservationists and weavers that returned accidentally killed kiwi to the hapu or family of the rohe or district in which they were found. It offers a particular perspective on the contemporary hapu-led cultural practices of Maori women and their intersection of the sacred and profound in the everyday. It also brings a greater understanding of conservation efforts and, in particular, of how the Department of Conservation Te Papa Atawhai works closely with tangata whenua. ...Show more
