Hauraki Landmarks is a major publication that represents many years of scholarly and field research by the late Taimoana Turoa. Following in the tradition of Don Stafford's Landmarks of Te Arawa, this book is a history both of the Maori peoples and of important places in the Hauraki region. After Turoa's untimely death in 1998, the book has been brought to completion by his nephew, Te Ahukaramu Charles Royal, director of graduate studies and research at Te Wananga-o-Raukawa. The Hauraki tribal district encompasses the entire Coromandel Peninsula as far south as Katikati, the Hauraki Plains, the lands bordering the Hauraki Gulf (taking in the east coast of Auckland as far north as Cape Rodney) and the islands of the Gulf, including Rangitoto, Hauturu (Little Barrier) and Aotea (Great Barrier). The area is home to the Parehauraki tribes, many of which are sub-tribes of Tainui. Te Takoto o te Whenua o Hauraki: Hauraki Landmarks is destined to become the standard work on the Maori history of Hauraki - bringing alive places and history across the fertile lands that stretch from the built-up coast of Auckland to the wild beauty of the Coromandel.
