I tu ia hei toa i te whare o Tumatauenga, engari ki te Hahi Ringatu, he poropiti - he matakite nana i hapai nga moemoea, nga tumanako, me nga wairua o te iwi i nga tau o te ngarohanga: te whenua, te oranga, te mana motuhake. I tona ringa matau te pu me te riri, i tona ringa maui te whakapono, nga kupu whakaari, me te tohu rangimarie. Na Te Kooti i hora atu enei kupu ki nga marae o te motu, hei karere poropiti, hei tohu whakatupato, hei maramatanga mo nga uri whakatipu. He kupu e korero ana ki te manawa, ki te wairua, ki te whenua. Ko tenei pukapuka na Ta Pou Temara - he mema o te Kaunihera Tekau ma Rua a te Kuini, he ahorangi, he tohunga mo te kupu, mo te whakaaro Maori. Ka wanangahia e ia nga korero a Te Kooti: nga whakakitenga i tukuna ki nga marae, nga waiata i tuhia hei huna i te mohiotanga, nga korero i poipoia i raro i te maru o te atua. Ka panuitia, ka wetewetehia, ka uia: kua tutuki ranei nga kupu a Te Kooti? Kei te ora tonu ranei i enei ra? Ko nga whakaaro o Ta Pou i ahu mai i nga korero tuku iho o Te Whanau-a-Apanui, o Te Arawa, o Ngai Tuhoe - nga iwi i whakatupu i tona ngakau kia mohio ai ki te ha o te kupu, ki te wairua o te whakapono, ki te tapu o te korero tuku iho. Na kona, ka rere mai tenei pukapuka hei puna matauranga mo te hunga e kimi ana i te maramatanga ki te Hahi Ringatu, ki te poropititanga Maori, ki te reo, ki te hitori o te motu - mai i te uma o nga marae, mai i nga whakapono o nga tipuna, mai i te kore ki te ao marama. Te Kooti Te Turuki Rikirangi stands as a towering figure of his time - a storm in dark days, a staff for those adrift. A warrior in the house of Tumatauenga, yet to the Ringatu Church, a prophet - one who carried the dreams, hopes and spirit of the iwi through years of loss: land, life and sovereignty. In his right hand, the gun of battle; in his left, the word of God. Te Kooti spread these words across the marae of the motu; a messenger, a guide, a beacon of understanding for generations to come. His words speak to the heart, to the spirit, to the land. This book, by Ta Pou Temara - a member of the Maori Queen's Council of Twelve, a professor, and a tohunga of Maori language and thought - offers a deep exploration in te reo Maori of Te Kooti's prophetic messages: his visions, teachings and songs. Through these pages, Ta Pou asks: have Te Kooti's words been fulfilled? Do they still live today? Ta Pou's insights, grounded in the ancestral knowledge of Te Whanau-a-Apanui, Te Arawa and Ngai Tuhoe, illuminate the essence of the word, the spirit of belief and the sacredness of tradition. This book is a rich source of knowledge for those seeking understanding of the Ringatu faith, Maori prophecy, the Maori language and the history of the land - from the heart of the marae, from the wisdom of ancestors, from the shadows to the light.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pou Temara\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1776711491\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781776711499\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Auckland University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/11\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Pou Temara","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48241920704767,"sku":"9781776711499","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cee11c60-bc5e-4b73-be1f-96f2a13cb19a.jpg?v=1772656581","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/te-ahua-o-nga-kupu-pou-temara-9781776711499","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
