Te kaieke tohorā na Witi Ihimaera
This is Te kaieke tohorā, a Māori translation of Witi Ihimaera's novel The whale rider by Timoti Karetu. The cover shows Paikea, a young East Coast girl, riding a stylised whale. Her ancestor, Paikea, originally named Kahutiaterangi, was a man of high birth. Kahutiaterangi's half-brother Ruatapu had a slave mother, so was deemed to be of low birth. In a rage about his lesser mana Ruatapu tried to drown Paikea – however he was rescued by a whale.

Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?
Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.
This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.
We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚
