Potiki
- Potiki*
by Patricia Grace
- Potiki is a story about the conflict that a small Maori community must contend with when faced with encroaching commercial development. It is as much about art and storytelling as it is about the preservation of identity.
Activity Ideas
- Consider your community’s stories. How do you preserve them? How are they different from another community’s?
- Throughout the novel, Maori art comes to life. Research the carvings that are described. Recreate a carving. Create your own carving and write down the story that goes with it.
* published by University of Hawaii Press, 1986
