Huia Publishers is an award-winning independent publishing company based in Wellington, New Zealand. The company was established in 1991 by Robyn Bargh to bring Māori voices in New Zealand literature by promoting Māori writers, Māori language and Māori perspectives. Many of the company’s books feature the Māori language or the experiences of Māori. Huia published the first Māori monolingual dictionary in 2006 (Tirohia Kimihia ). The company now also publishes books by Pacific authors. Leading Pacific writers such as Albert Wendt and Karlo Mila have published with Huia Publishers. ==Pikihuia Awards== Huia publishers, in conjunction with the Māori Literature Trust, started New Zealand’s first Māori writers awards in 1995 under the name of the Māori Literature Awards, it was later changed to E Tuhi! and is now called the Pikihuia Māori Writers Awards. The awards are held biennially and aims to encourage Māori writers to publish their work. Finalists and winners of the awards have been published in the (Māori Short Stories ) series and (Ngā Pakiwaitara a Huia ), the Māori language version of the series. The Pikihuia Awards have helped raise the profile of authors such as James George who wrote (''Hummingbird'' ), a finalist in the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize for best book in the South Pacific region. Other authors that have won Pikihuia Awards are Kelly Ana Morey and Paula Morris. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Huia Publishers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
