Ko Aotearoa Tenei

Covers of Ko Aotearoa Tenei: Te Taumata Tuatahi, the layperson’s version of the Waitangi Tribunal’s report on the Wai 262 ‘flora and fauna’ claim.

Covers of Ko Aotearoa Tenei: Te Taumata Tuatahi, the layperson’s version of the Waitangi Tribunal’s report on the Wai 262 ‘flora and fauna’ claim.

In July the Waitangi Tribunal’s released the report on its inquiry into “claims concerning New Zealand law and policy affecting Maori culture and identity” – the Wai 262 claim. Nearly 20 years in the making, it helpfully comes in two versions, and the shorter – Te Taumata Tuatahi – is both readable and affordable.

Richard helped with typesetting and designed the covers.

You can buy the report here, or read it online here.

The guide

The Canterbury Westland Alps

The Canterbury Westland Alps

This is the last of the New Zealand Alpine Club’s Southern Alps climbing guides. It’s not published yet – you’ll have to wait until September to buy a copy – but it’ll be worth the wait, as it describes pretty much every alpine and transalpine route between Arthur’s Pass and Aoraki Mount Cook National Parks.

The cover image by Geoff Spearpoint is a classic alpine view of Mt Evans from the Wilkinson River, in Westland.

The festival

Richard went to see some shows at the New Zealand International Arts Festival for scoop.co.nz:

In Business February–March 2010

What’s beyond ignorance?

Um, irony?

Someone thought the cover of the last issue of In Business was, well, an outrage.

The New Zealand Alpine Club's annual report, 2009

The New Zealand Alpine Club's annual report, 2009

The New Zealand Alpine Club has around 3000 members and is New Zealand’s main organisation representing climbers. This is the cover of their annual report for 2009, which we produced.

Okay, the title of this post is a bit obscure. But that boulder in the photo looks kind of like an asteroid. Sort of.

Space Waltz were kind of cool, back in 1974.
