1 Aroha: Māori Wisdom for a Contented Life Lived in Harmony with our Planet by Hinemoa Elder (Penguin Random House, $30)
“
Unlike a canoe rope, a human bond cannot be severed.
You know that feeling when you just click with someone? When someone really gets you? Something about the eye contact. Something about the natural ease of interaction. It is the same feeling as a relaxing, long exhale of breath. This is precious. These are the signs that something very special is happening.”

In the late 1860s, Te Rauparaha’s son Tamihana wrote an account of his father’s life, now published for the first time in a Māori/English edition.
Join us to hear translator and editor Ross Calman talk about restoring the mana of this important work.
In the late 1860s, Te Rauparaha’s son Tamihana wrote a 50,000-word account of his father’s life – the original manuscript is in the Sir George Grey Special Collections at Tāmaki Pātaka Kōrero Auckland Central City Library (GNZMMS 27).
A rich source of Ngāti Toa history, language and culture, it offers fascinating insights into traditional Māori society and the tumultuous history of the 1820s and 1830s.

The Bulletin: Reaction to big changes required by first emissions report
Good morning and welcome to The Bulletin. In today’s edition: Reaction to big changes required by first emissions report, stories swirl about managed isolation places, and UK in bid to join NZ-inclusive trade bloc.
The Climate Change Commission has released a major report setting out the changes that will need to be made for New Zealand to meet international emissions obligations. Commissioner Dr Rod Carr described it as “ambitious but achievable.” There will now be a period of consultation, and at a certain point the government will be legally required to respond to the plan, either accepting it and implementing it as policy, or setting out one of its own. An exceptionally useful wrap of it all has been put together by Justin Giovannetti, who read the massive text while it was under embargo, and I’d highly encourage you to read his piece.
