The Women Wonders group is currently working through the “Huia Come Home” by Jay R. and would highly commend it to others to read. It looks at Te Tiriti and the in New Zealand. At the moment there is an opportunity to purchase the book at a reduced price. A box of 10 can be purchased for $180 (which includes postage) – I will leave you to do the maths! If you want to know more about the book chat to Claire, Catherine or Sandra. If you are interested in purchasing the book, please let Sandra know. A great way to kick of Te Wiki o te Reo Maori week.
