Since 1991, Huia has made a commitment to produce wonderful and provocative books and resources allowing an insight into the diversity of Māori and Pacific perspectives, young and old alike. Huia undertakes the challenge of exploring the stories and aspirations of the people of Aotearoa. Huia aims to provide a mirror for Māori to reflect and interpret their experiences and to open a fascinating window for the rest of the world.
Under the leadership of Brian Morris and Eboni Waitere, Huia strives to contribute to the awareness, education and understanding of Māori perspectives. These perspectives are an inspiration to Māori people and of significant value to New Zealand as a nation as it continues to define, create and express itself nationally and on the world stage.
Huia was established by Robyn Rangihuia Bargh and Brian Bargh as an independent publishing company in 1991. Robyn had the compelling vision of a New Zealand that valued stories from the people, places and experiences she had grown up with: Māori and Pākehā, rich and poor, urban and rural, academics, artists and workers, and the many forms of whānau in our communities. More than twenty years later, this vision continues to be articulated by the team at Huia.
