It tells of the Ngati Kahungunu people -- tangata whenua of Hawke's Bay and parts of East Coast and Wairarapa -- from their origins in the Pacific Islands to their lineage in Aotearoa up to the twentieth century. It is divided into four main sections: the history up to the departure of Takitimu and other canoes of migration; the history of Ngati Kahungunu; short biographies of Sir James Carroll, Sir Maui Pomare and the Rev. Tamihana Huata; and appendices describing charms, proverbs, the interpretation of dreams and signs, and the Maori almanac. Complete with genealogical tables, this is a book of great value for history enthusiasts and especially the people of Ngati Kahungunu -- the third largest Maori tribe, with descendants throughout New Zealand and Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eALL PHOTOS ARE OF THE ACTUAL BOOK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll books are sent with free courier postage within New Zealand.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phoenix Books NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49940100874487,"sku":null,"price":709.0,"currency_code":"CNY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/7687\/5255\/files\/IMG_8319_19fe8088-571e-4983-a413-8b0da66cbddf.jpg?v=1754604674","url":"https:\/\/phoenixbooksnz.com\/en-cn\/products\/takitimu-a-history-of-the-ngati-kahungunu-people-by-mitchell-j-h-tiaki-hikawera-mitira","provider":"Phoenix Books NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
