Author Robyn Kahukiwa is widely recognised as one of the leading artists of her generation, and a pioneer among Māori women in her multiple activities in painting, writing and publishing.
In Ngā Atua, Robyn introduces the pantheon of Māori gods, and explains the arena of life for which
each deity is responsible.
“I
created for this work for
my mokopuna, Kahu, to encourage him and others to relate to their whakapapa and
know that we of Maori descent have a genealogy that comes from ngā atua,” Robyn
comments.
Tāne,
Hine-te-iwaiwa, Tangaroa, Mahuika and Māui are some of the spiritual
beings who leap off the pages of this four-colour book.
