Join Hana Pera Aoake for a pukapuka reading of Peter Gossage's Battle of the mountains in both te reo Māori and English, followed by a family-friendly maunga making workshop.
"Living by the maunga of my daughter, Pūtauaki, I often read this story her because it describes how and why Pūtauaki ended up in the Bay of Plenty, but I also love to imagine what this battle must have looked like with maunga throwing rocks and volcanic lava at each other. I have been drawn to many of the pūrākau that have defined the landscape around me. Pūrākau can be used as a methodology for understanding our world and how we live now." - Hana Pera Aoake.
