Rahui Papa discusses the 1839 signing of He Whakaputanga by Te Wherowhero of Tainui.
Tuesday 29 October 2019

National Library of New Zealand, Molesworth Street, Thorndon
Gather 12pm at the seated area in front of the He Tohu gallery. Talk begins 12.10pm.

The final party to He Whakaputanga o te Rangatiratanga o Nu Tirani (The Declaration of Independence of New Zealand) was Te Wherowhero of Tainui, who signed on the 22nd of July 1839.
Rahui Papa will discuss the circumstances surrounding the signing by Te Wherowhero, the Tainui view of the Declaration, and subsequent events in Tainui and New Zealand history.

About the speaker: Rahui Papa (Tainui) grew up on and around his marae and papakāinga of Pōhara, in the Waikato. He has worked in broadcasting, teaching, and has served as a director and trustee on many boards. He is perhaps best known as an expert orator and a recognised authority on Waikato reo, tikanga, and tribal history.

‘Children don’t want fantasy, there’s no demand for it.’
When Eirlys Hunter finished her first Junior fiction manuscript in 1997, a publisher rejected it on the grounds that ‘children don’t want fantasy, there’s no demand for it.’ JK Rowling soon proved that publisher wrong, and since then there’s been an explosion in fiction for children that is set in worlds that diverge from the reality of their lived experience. Why is this?

In this informal talk Eirlys Hunter will discuss what fantasy is, and speculate on what fantasy can offer readers (and writers) that realism cannot.

The Dorothy Neal White Collection
The Dorothy Neal White Collection is a research collection of children’s books that were enjoyed by young New Zealanders before 1940. The Friends of the Dorothy Neal White Collection support the work of this and other children’s literature collections held in the National Library of New Zealand.

About the speaker
Eirlys Hunter has published seven books for children, and her most recent book ‘The Mapmaker’s Race was a finalist in the 2019 NZ Book Awards for Children & Young Adults. She teaches Writing for Children at the International Institute of Modern Letters, Victoria University of Wellington.
