N2  -  "A collection of proverbs and sayings from the Taitokerau region - stretching from Auckland to Cape Rēinga. Pepeha and the longer whakataukī are proverbs and sayings passed down by Māori to capture key moments in history, important places and celebrated ancestors. Like the rock that stands in the sea, pepeha are also powerful metaphors for human behaviour ... presents almost 200 proverbs from the North in Māori, provides new translations in English, and explains the origin and meaning of the sayings"--Cover flap
