| Description |
The story begins when kaumatua Te Manu Korero cites a latakia about Hawaikinui that is so long it sends all the young listeners to sleep. In her dreams the central character Kohine travels to Hawaikinui, a beautiful place where there is always peace and harmony. She meets a cast of colourful characters who give her good advice and act as kaitiaki. |
