Koinei te pukapuka whakaaraara tuatahi o tōna momo-he tuhinga rangatira e whakakite ana i te mana, te ihi, te wehi o te mātauranga mau rākau nā Pukenga Ahorangi Haturini McGarvey. E ruku hōhonu ana ki te matetewha me te matapaki i ngā āhuatanga tikanga, kawa, pūtoi kōrero, te reo whakaaraara o ngā ope tauā o mua, ngā kairākau a Tū-ka-riri, a Tū-ka-niwhā, a Tū-kai-tauā.
