Background
HUIA was founded by Robyn Rangihuia Bargh and her husband Brian Bargh in 1991 due to a lack of publishers focused on telling Māori stories with a Māori worldview.[2] Bargh won the inaugural Te Tohu Toi Ke a Te Waka Toi award from Creative New Zealand in 2006 for 'making a difference in the literary sector.'[4][5]
Along with the Māori Literature Trust, HUIA have run the Te Papa Tupu programme that supports Māori writers to develop their skills.[6]
In 2022 the Aotearoa New Zealand Festival programmed an event Thirty Years of HUIA with the then-directors of HUIA, Eboni Waitere (Ngāti Kahungunu, Rangitāne) and Brian Morris (Ngāti Kahungunu, Rongowhakaata) and co-founder Robyn Bargh.[7]
Awards and recognition
In 2022, HUIA was a finalist for the Bologna Prize for the Best Children’s Publisher of the Year at the annual Bologna Children's Book Fair in Italy.[8] In 2024, HUIA won the award.[3]
