A literary homestead, A literary legacy.

At the end of 2024 film­ing took place in Kaka Point to cre­ate a beau­ti­ful piece on the Tuwhare Crib as a Lit­er­ary Home­stead. It’s a sim­ple and hum­ble sto­ry about Hone Tuwhare — papa, koro, friend and poet who was and is deeply respect­ed and loved by so many; whose mana con­tin­ues to be felt through­out the coun­try and whose poet­ry and lit­er­ary lega­cy lives on for the next gen­er­a­tion. Fea­tured in the video are Rob Tuwhare (Trustee and Hone’s son), Man­a­ia Hoani-Tuwhare (Hone’s grand­daugh­ter) and poet and friend of the Tuwhare Trust Ati Teepa.

Thanks to the Matatuhi Foun­da­tion in sup­port of the Hone Tuwhare Lega­cy Project and the Amaz­ing Home­steads team who turned Hone’s Lit­er­ary Home­stead into stun­ning visu­al storytelling.
