Horouta: The History of the Horouta Canoe,Gisborne
and East Coast will be officially launched tomorrow evening in Gisborne.
It
tells the story of the settlers who came on this famed voyaging canoe, and
their descendants who populated the Gisborne and East Coast region, with
extensive whakapapa and maps. Horouta has been out of print
for some years, and is being reprinted to respond to wide demand.
Rongowhakaata Halbert's remarkable book, written over a
period of 70 years, deserves to be back in bookstores to impart a major part of
history to New Zealand readers.
Alan Haronga, the director of the Rongowhakaata
Halbert Trust, was recently interviewed on Radio Watea – for further
