Sadler illustrates the unbroken chain of Ngapuhi sovereignty by looking in depth at his own \u003ci\u003ehapu \u003c\/i\u003eof Ngati Moerewa, Ngati Rangi, and Ngai Tawake ki te Waoku of Tautoro and Mataraua. The narrative is told through the weaving together of \u003ci\u003ekarakia \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003ewhakapapa\u003c\/i\u003e, histories, and \u003ci\u003ekorero \u003c\/i\u003ethat have been part of the oral traditions of Ngapuhi's \u003ci\u003ewhanau\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ehapu\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eiwi \u003c\/i\u003eand handed down through the generations on \u003ci\u003emarae \u003c\/i\u003eand other gathering places. Presented first to open the Ngapuhi's claim before the Waitangi Tribunal, Sadler's narrative is a powerful Maori oral account, presented here in Te Reo and in English on facing pages, of the story of New Zealand's largest \u003ci\u003eiwi\u003c\/i\u003e.","brand":"Auckland University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47139836100848,"sku":"9781775587163","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781775587163_p0.jpg?v=1763709788","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781775587163","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
