Tūranganui-a-Rua, Tūranganui-a-Maru, Tūranganui-a-Kiwa e! by Walton Walker explores the history and meaning behind the place name Tūranganui-a-Kiwa (Poverty Bay) on the east coast of Aotearoa New Zealand. The text explains the arrival of the Horouta waka and the navigator Kiwa, the later arrival of James Cook, and how place names reflect different histories and perspectives. It also examines how local communities worked to restore the recognition of the Māori name, showing how place names connect people to their history, identity, and whenua.
