Raised by her grandmother in an earthen-floored whare on the shores of the Kaipara Harbour, Kahurangi Naida experienced the brutality of racism early in her life when, as a teenager, she was separated from her whanau and made a ward of the state for the flimsiest of reasons. That stoked a fire in her belly that has never dimmed, and she has been an activist ever since, in recent decades devoted to improving the experience of Māori in the health system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a powerful memoir from a kuia of great courage and tenacity, and which is also full of deep insights into te ao Māori. The Kia Ora Lady should be essential reading for anyone wanting to understand why and how Māori are fighting for their rightful place in Aotearoa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c!--kaikora_description--\u003e\n  \u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\u003ctable class=\"kaikora-description-table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"2\" class=\"kaikora-description-table__section-heading\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781988550886\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBateman Books\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImprint\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBATEMAN\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e01 November 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailability date\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e01 November 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ebooks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"2\" class=\"kaikora-description-table__section-heading\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMcLeod Lorraine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBind\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFor more information on our shipping policy follow \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/folders.co.nz\/pages\/delivery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ethis link\u003c\/a\u003e and for our returns policy \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/folders.co.nz\/pages\/online-returns-policy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eclick here.\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c!--kaikora_description--\u003e\n        \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c!--kaikora_description--\u003e\n        ","brand":"Bateman Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68178400837869,"sku":"9781988550886","price":44.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0541\/2565\/8281\/files\/The_Kia_Ora_Lady_15506718032109_1_793e4b42-4b49-46bc-8d29-f015229ddab0.png?v=1793917819","url":"https:\/\/marstonmoor.co.nz\/products\/the-kia-ora-lady","provider":"Marston Moor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
