<em>Once were warriors</em>

Nā Alan Duff i tito a Once were warriors, he kiriata e pā ana ki ngā tuahangata mārō hītararī. Noho rawa ai te whānau Heke ki roto i te pūranga paru o te waipiro, te tūkino, te koremahi me te kūware. Ahakoa ka nanaiore a Beth ki te whakatika i te huarahi mō tōna whānau, ka pēhia tonutia ia e ngā taumaha o te pōhara me te mahi ririhau a tana tāne a Jake. Nō te pānga o te aituā, ka hoki a Beth ki te wā kāinga ki te kimi i tōna taha Māori, engari tē taea e ia te whakaora i te katoa o tōna whānau. I whakaputaina tēnei pukapuka hei kiriata i te tau 1994, ā, ka hau te rongo ki te ao.
