Author Jeff Evans has written several books relating to waka. Between them, they recall Māori migration traditions, describe navigation skills used by Māori to voyage between the islands in the central Pacific and New Zealand, and introduce the reader to waka taua. His latest book, Reawakened: Traditional navigators of Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa tells the stories of 10 master navigators who are leading figures in the renaissance of Pacific voyaging.
