Publisher's Synopsis
The Ko Rongowhakaata: Story of Light and Shadow exhibition at Te Papa is a window into the world of Rongowhakaata, the prominent iwi from the Turanganui-a-Kiwa (Gisborne) region. The exhibition presents some of Rongowhakaata's greatest treasures and heirlooms, stories and relationships, and contemporary artistry. This book, in English and te reo Maori, backgrounds those stories and celebrates those treasures in outstanding images. Ruku i te po, ruku i te ao. Delve into the dark, emerge into the light.
