Potiki is an emotional and insightful story. Focussing on a Māori family and their whānau defending their ancestral land from modern day land developers. This book highlighted the importance of simplicity, respecting the land on which we live and the great feats that we can achieve when we work together. The story is told through the eyes of different members of the family and spans many years. At times, it is emotionally raw but also has many moments of joy. A thoroughly excellent read.
