A landmark work, first of its kind
For generations the Kupe tradition has been carried in the voices of those who whakapapa to it. This first edition brings that knowledge into a single, considered volume — crafted with care, published on behalf of the iwi.
"Long considered a myth by researchers — because they didn't get it from Muaūpoko."
