Abstract

Tā Hirini Moko Mead’s Mātauranga Māori is an exquisite book that carefully opens up Tāne’s kete o te wānanga, allowing readers to gaze upon the knowledge inside. In this review, I discuss the structure of the book and its contents, and Tā Mead’s unique writing style, and share a personal vignette that speaks to the book’s mana.
