Part of E oho! Waitangi 2023 series. Join a kōrero with Jay Ruka, the author of ‘Huia Come Home’, Dean of Taranaki Cathedral Church of St Mary and Director of Te Manu Hononga – Sir Paul Reeves Centre. 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 Māori lens. 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. This event is live in Wellington, but also delivered over Zoom for those who want to attend online.
