Rere Atu, Taku Manu! (Fly forth, my bird!) is the first book about the Maori-language news-papers, of which some 35 were produced between 1842 and the 1930s by government, churches and independent Maori and Pakeha.The newspapers are a remarkable record of an indigenous language in British colonial times and a substantial but little tapped source of a colony's history.
