About the book

"Tahuhu Korero: The Sayings of Taitokerau presents almost 200 proverbs from the North in Maori, provides new translations in English, and explains the origin and meaning of the sayings. By elucidating people, places and events through the sayings and associated traditions, Tahuhu Korero provides new insights into interpreting heritage, cultural values and the contemporary relevance of these oral forms. This book features numerous full-colour images of the people and places referred to in the proverbs, both historical paintings and spectacular new photographs by Krzysztof Pfeiffer. The combination of proverbs, history, and images results in a rich and accessible introduction to the people and the land of the Taitokerau." --Book Jacket.
