'The stories told in these forms are tributes only. They're inspired by real historic events and loosely depict historical figures. They are not historic fact. They're also told by Pākehā and Māori descendants and acknowledge the challenges face in our shared histories'--Front cover verso.
'There once lived a great Rangatira, called Tautokomaru, in the region of Taranaki. His tale is told throughout time. He was a brave and cunning warlord, who chose to defy the colonial forces during the period of colonisation in Aotearoa. This story is a tribute to his legendary ways, and explores some of the challenges he had faced with colonial leaders'--Publisher's website.
