Beautiful book

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.

TE AWA ATUA - Menstruation in the Pre-colonial Maori World.

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

So happy to finally have this pukapuka

I haven’t read the book yet but I’ve been meaning to get this book for a long time and it happened to
show itself on the Awwa page so I bought it. Thank you!
