Descended from the ancestress Kuia, their whakapapa sits within a rich and complex Māori lineage, connecting with the stories held by neighbouring iwi – particularly the other Kurahaupō waka groups. Their networks also stretch towards the head of the country, linking to iwi originating from the East Coast of Te Ika-a-Māui (the North Island), such as Ngāi Tahu, Ngāti Kahungunu, Muaūpoko, and ultimately back to the Polynesian homelands, Hawaiki.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on hundreds of whakapapa, pūrākau, waiata and karakia recorded in nineteenth-century tribal manuscripts and court records, Madi Williams presents Ngāti Kuia history in Ngāti Kuia voices. From the stories of such tīpuna as Kaikaiāwaro and Hinepopo, through early encounters with neighbouring iwi and European settlers, to recent events such as the Treaty settlement process, this expansive account places Ngāti Kuia at the heart of the region’s living, layered history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs Te Kenehi Teira observed during the Ngāti Kuia Treaty claim, the history of the iwi resembles ‘one huge jigsaw puzzle – you have to find all the pieces and put them together’. In this book, the pieces finally sit alongside one another.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47417532711148,"sku":"9781776711727","price":59.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/d870f4ce8d4b333b7d53186280718ade.jpg?v=1774307218"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/madi-williams.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
