Auckland University Press, 2022, 190 pages. English language edition. Jacket has minor damage to bottom of back.

From peacemakers and strategists to explorers and entrepreneurs, the tupuna of the North are an inspiration to the people of Te Tai Tokerau. This remarkable book by Melinda Webber and Te Kapua O'Connor introduces a new generation to twenty-four of those tupuna - Nukutawhiti and Hineamaru, Hongi Hika and Te Ruki Kawiti, and many more. Through whakapapa and korero, waiata and pepeha, we learn about their actions, their places, their values, and their aspirations.
