On Saturday 27 February at Te Ara-o-Tāwhaki marae - EIT Hawkes Bay in Taradale, a new book is being launched.
The audio book Pukapuka Kōrero Tahi is the result of many years of research by Dr Joseph Te Rito as a Principal Investigator at Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga. It features the voices of kuia Apikara Rārere and Te Arahea Robin and is drawn from the storehouse of oral archives of Radio Kahungunu.
This precious and unique taonga is a bilingual resource for teaching and learning Te Reo Māori, documenting recorded conversations between the two kuia and focused on strengthening Rongomaiwahine-Kahungunu dialects through archival recording as well as promoting conversational Māori language.
Nau mai! Haere mai! All are welcome to attend.

E te iwi, ruia te rau tāhiri i ō tātau mate tuatini,
Kia rīngihia ki te roimata, kia kākahuria ki te kupu,
E kore e mutu te auētia o mate,
Okioki mai rā koutou i te poho o te whare aituā i Tāhekeroa,
