Recommended for anyone interested in mana wahine theory and decolonisation, but also anyone really. give it to your dads, brothers, sons. Really important korero not just about the power of the bleed itself, but about wahine māori in pre-colonial times, and reclaiming and retelling the stories that have been historically suppressed and altered to suit the invaders agenda. Really powerful kaupapa.

Very enlightening pukapuka there is so much more to learn from our tūpuna to make te awa atua normal and not something to fear.

Te Awa Atua is strong, intense, and strikes at the heart of colonial power dynamics by shifting the focus onto wahine Māori and their reality and precolonial truth. It’s an amazing book, at times angry, but it has every right to be.
