Mā Wai e Whāngai ngā Manuhiri? nā Patricia Grace rāua ko Robyn Kahukiwa. Auckland, N.Z.: Longman Paul, 1985.
These pukapuka are Māori language learning books for children that convey a Māori worldview in an easy to read and comprehensible format. They highlight the need and support for the revitalisation of te reo Māori at this time through the opening of Kōhanga Reo in 1982, Kura Kaupapa Māori in 1985 and a precursor to te reo Māori becoming an official language in 1987. Robyn Kahukiwa and Patricia Grace collaborated on a selection of children’s pukapuka in the 1980s and both became well known for being champions of te reo and mātauraka Māori, telling Māori stories for a Māori audience. Both wāhine became full-time creatives from this period.
