Living Indigenous: Reconnect With Your Identity, Reclaim Your Roots, & Thrive

What if living your culture was the key to living your best life?

In Living Indigenous, Tawehi Munro invites you on a powerful journey to reconnect with your whakapapa - your genealogy and ancestral heritage - reclaim your tuakiri, your identity, and thrive every day. Part memoir, part cultural guide, and part call to action, this book blends personal stories, ancestral wisdom, and practical guidance to help you live with purpose, pride, and connection.

From the strength of whakapapa and the life-giving bond with whenua, the land that sustains us, to the beauty of karakia, traditional prayers, kōrero tuku iho, stories handed down through generations, and strong hapori, thriving communities, Tawehi shows how to weave Indigenous values into every aspect of modern life - no matter where you are. Along the way, you’ll discover how to live in balance with land and wairua, the spirit, honour traditions while adapting to contemporary challenges, and build relationships that strengthen both identity and community.

Engaging, heartfelt, and filled with hope, Living Indigenous is more than a book - it’s an invitation to live your truth, protect what matters, and carry your culture forward with confidence, rooted in the strength of the past and grounded in the promise of the future.
