Description
Down at the bottom of Te Waipounamu lies Te Ara a Kiwa (Foveaux Strait), a place of legend, industry and community. Written by Bubba Thompson and Michael Stevens and translated by Paulette Tamati-Elliffe, this book represents a way for tamariki both locally and nationwide to learn and understand local pūrākau and place names associated with Te Ara a Kiwa. More importantly, Te Ara a Kiwa teaches Kāi Tahu tamariki the incredible stories that can be found in our very own backyard.
Written in both English and Te Reo Māori, this is an excellent educational resource that not only celebrates Te Reo Māori but allows teachers to confidently lead their students in learning more about the Kāi Tahu pūrākau associated with Te Ara a Kiwa.
