This passing on of customary knowledge developed out of a partnership between conservationists and weavers that returned accidentally killed kiwi to the hapū or family of the rohe or district in which they were found.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeaving, perhaps the pre-eminent form of Māori women’s cultural expression, was in serious decline in New Zealand until the 1950s, when a concerted effort was made by Māori women to preserve and maintain it and to highlight the need to protect vital natural resources. Formal training is now available through universities and polytechnics, but traditionally weaving has been taught within hapū, usually by a mother, aunt or grandmother honouring protocols and restrictions to maintain the integrity of the discipline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt offers a particular perspective on the contemporary hapū-led cultural practices of Māori women and their intersection of the sacred and profound in the everyday. It also brings a greater understanding of conservation efforts and, in particular, of how the Department of Conservation Te Papa Atawhai works closely with tangata whenua.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo look inside, click\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/issuu.com\/masseypress\/docs\/te_manu_huna_a_tane\" title=\"Sample pages\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note this is for the ebook version. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"strapline\"\u003e‘Look at this dead bird and feel the sight of it catch in your craw, claw at your throat, feel it spill from your eyes, this book should make you feel uncomfortable, this book should make you want things to be different, this book should make you move.’ — essa may ranapiri,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/thespinoff.co.nz\/books\/08-06-2020\/what-the-kiwi-can-teach-us-a-review-of-the-brutal-radiant-te-manu-huna-a-tane\/\" title=\"The Spinoff\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eThe Spinoff\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"strapline\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e‘It’s books like this that will help us to rethink how we as a society need to change.’ — \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLeilani Tamu, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.rnz.co.nz\/national\/programmes\/ninetonoon\/audio\/2018753211\/book-review-te-manu-huna-a-tane\"\u003eRNZ\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"strapline\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Massey Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52085723398464,"sku":"TMHTE","price":45.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0944\/6614\/6624\/files\/9780995123069.jpg?v=1769556433","url":"https:\/\/masseypress.ac.nz\/products\/te-manu-huna-a-tane-ebook","provider":"Massey Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
