Maki the Tuurehu is a children's picture book by Qiane Matata-Sipu and Ngaati Tahinga Wilson, beautifully illustrated by Moanaroa Te Whata. It follows young Hori, who learns from Nanny Kahu about his impressive ancestress Maki - a tuurehu who fed her whole village with her fishing skills, ultimately giving he whare tuupuna Taamaki Makaurau its name.
The story bridges past and present, celebrating ancestral legends while showing children -like Hori's twin sister Hariata - that traditional fishing and leadership are for everyone. The puuraakau is part of a special series created to share the histories and traditions of Makaurau Marae, Te Ahiwaru hapuu and the Ihumaatao rohe
