Te Ātiawa Story Book - Tītoki

Prior to European settlement, the Tītoki tree thrived along the banks of the Te Hēnui river in north Taranaki. Accordingly, its berries were used to anoint the skin and hair of women as a fragrance.



There are currently two trees that are cordoned off and protected by DoC that are along the Te Henui river.



This is a digital children’s book, based on tikanga and kōrero associated with the Tītoki tree. It is told from the perspective of Te Ātiawa, and is targeted at tamariki years 9 through to 12+.
