Once the sacred guardian of New Zealand?s native forests, the huia was a symbol of the land?s unique beauty and spirituality. The rare bird?s tragic extinction in the early 1900s represents a shot to the heart of Aotearoa and is a potent metaphor for a country?s conflicted history. Using the story of the untimely extinction of the huia, Jay Ruka offers a fresh perspective on the narrative of Aotearoa; a tale of two cultures, warring worldviews, and the things we lost in translation. Revisiting the early missionaries, the transformative message of the gospel and the cultural missteps of the Treaty of Waitangi, Huia Come Home invites us to reconnect with the unique story offered by the indigenous Maori lens. Signed. 180 pages.
