We hone ideas and produce award-winning books. We create and design stories and resources that connect with our whakapapa and are centred in te ao Māori and Māori worldviews.

Huia Publishers is a Māori owned, independent publisher producing innovative and inspiring books and resources. Since 1991, our purpose has been simple and uncompromising – we share stories that resonate with our people, that reflect our experiences and that value our culture and language.

Advocates

The revitalisation and value of Māori language is always at the forefront of our thinking. HUIA partners on projects that ensure our kura kaupapa thrive, our creative writers flourish, and iwi and hapū have sovereignty over their own stories.

Committed

There are immeasurable benefits to our long-term investment in Māori writers, illustrators, editors, designers, language experts and the wider education sector. It is this commitment to our people that enables us to provide a platform for indigenous storytellers on the global literary stage.

Purposeful

Our books not only delight and entertain, but they serve to inspire, challenge and shape conversations. We hope our books aid the next wave of language champions, social justice campaigners and politically astute Māori leaders – realising the
aspirations of Aotearoa.
