Dr Melinda Webber and Te Kapua O’Connor spent hundreds of hours collecting stories about Hīneamaru, the eponymous atua of Ngāti Hine, and a plethora of other Ngapuhi tipuna (ancestors). The stories are dramatic and compelling and tell us so much about the region in which we live. Moderated by museum curator (Auckland and Waitangi) and Kaikohe local Chanel Clarke.
