Remarkable stories of twenty-four inspirational tupuna of Te Tai Tokerau.

From peacemakers and strategists to explorers and entrepreneurs, the tupuna of the North continue to inspire the people of Te Tai Tokerau. This powerful book introduces a new generation to twenty-four of those ancestors — including Nukutawhiti, Hineamaru, Hongi Hika, and Te Ruki Kawiti. Through whakapapa and kōrero, waiata and pepeha, readers gain insight into their actions, places, values, and aspirations.

Published in both a te reo Māori edition (translated by Quinton Hita) and an English-language edition, and featuring original cover art by Shane Cotton, A Fire in the Belly of Hineamaru is both a tribute and a call to action — celebrating unbroken connections to history, land, and esteemed ancestors.
