Bilingual paperback relaunches Robyn Kahukiwa's classic introduction to Maori gods
A new paperback edition brings Robyn Kahukiwa's beloved Nga Atua - Maori Gods into te reo Maori thanks to a fine translation by Kiwa Hammond.
Robyn dedicates her book to her mokopuna so they can learn of 'the supernatural beings who are important to the Maori people of Aotearoa New Zealand'.
In the hands of an internationally renowned artist, Robyn Kahukiwa brings to brilliant life the pantheon of Maori deities.
Simple text, in te reo Maori and English, explains the arena of life for which each god is responsible:
Hine Moana is a powerful being, She looks after the sea with Tangaroa.
He mana hoki to Hine Moana e tiaki ana i te moana i te taha o Tangaroa.
Then there is Mahuika, who has the power of fire; Tawhiri-matea who controls the weather, wise Muri-ranga-whenua, warrior god Tumatauenga and many others.
