An introduction to te ao Māori. The guide to understanding the Māori world from a 21st-century point of view.

The book we've all been needing for decades – a unique explanation of the world of Māoridom for Pākehā, and all others disconnected from the Māori world.

Told with simple lucidity and great expertise, Keri Opai shares the spirit and meaning of what it is to be Māori in the 21st century, dispelling myths and misconceptions and providing a view of our tangata whenua that people from other cultures can understand and take pride in.

Tikanga offers invaluable insights into Māori culture from a contemporary perspective, making it a vital read for everyone seeking to deepen their understanding of Aotearoa's indigenous heritage.

About the Author: Keri Opai is a linguist, educator, and the author of Te Reo Hāpai, the seminal work in creating a Māori language glossary for mental health, disability, and addiction. He was the first person to qualify as an official Te Reo translator and advises widely on cultural issues.
