Auckland UP, 2024. Good secondhand condition.

We have heard the heroic story of the M?ori Battalion, but what of the M?ori people who remained at home?

Raupanga brings together the people, stories and places underpinning the M?ori wartime experience of the Second World War. Written in te reo M?ori, thirty-seven succinctly illustrated pieces explore seven themes: Mahi (Work); Mahi Taua (Home Defence); Hapori (Community); Taiohi (Youth); T?rangap? (Politics); Whakapono (Religion); and I Muri i te Pakanga (Post-war). Raupanga journeys from factories to farms, from marae to churches, and considers the experience of communities in and out of urban centres. Delving into stories of the K?ngitanga, kapa haka, the ?r?kei petition, and their champions, this book is a treasure trove of historical narratives waiting to be shared with wh?nau and future generations across Aotearoa New Zealand.

Kua rongo pai te iwi m? ng? mahi a ng? t?puna h?ia, engari, he aha r? ng? k?rero m? te hunga i noho tonu ai ki te k?inga?

Whakaheke toto tonu ana te iwi M?ori ki te Pakanga Tuarua o te ao. I te tuwheratanga o te whawhai nui ka puta noa ng? taitama hei t?ao ki te Taua Tuarua o Aotearoa. Kua rongo pai te iwi m? ng? mahi rongonui a ng? t?puna h?ia, tae noa ki te Ope Taua 28. Engari, he aha r? ng? k?rero m? te hunga i noho tonu ai ki te k?inga?

Kei a Raupanga he k?rero m? te ao M?ori i te w? o te Pakanga Tuarua, ar?, m? ng? mahi me ng? wheako o te hunga i noho nei ki te k?inga. E toru tekau m? iwa ng? p?r?kau kua t?ngia ki te reo M?ori, kua whakanikohia ki ng? tini whakaahua ?taahua. E aro matua ana ki ng? kaupapa e whitu, ar?, ki te Mahi, ki ng? Mahi Taua, ki te Hapori, ki ng? Taiohi, ki te T?rangap?, ki te Whakapono, ?, ki Muri i te Pakanga.

Ka ahu a Raupanga mai i ng? wheketere ki ng? p?mu, mai i ng? marae ki ng? whare karakia, mai i ng? kura ki ng? puni h?ia, mai i ng? takiw? taiwhenua ki ng? t?one nunui. E ?ta titiro ana t?nei ki ng? koiora o ng? t?ngata, ki ng? mahi hoki a ng? wh?nau me ng? hapori. Kei roto he k?rero m? te K?ngitanga, m? te petihana o ?r?kei, m? te kapa haka, m? ng? tohetohe ?-t?rangap?, ?-h?hi, ?-papori hoki, ar?, he k?rero m? ng? M?ori e noho tonu ana ki Aotearoa i te w? pakanga. He waka huia a Raupanga, e horaina ana ng? k?rero o taua w? m? ng? wh?nau o n?ianei, me ng? reanga whakaheke.
