Hawke's Bay Today and Ngati Kahungunu Iwi Incorporated (NKII) have joined forces to produce a new monthly publication called Tihei Kahungunu.
Tihei Kahungunu will be a monthly insert in Hawke's Bay Today and aims to give Ng?ti Kahungunu and M?oridom in the region a voice.
Ngati Kahungunu Iwi Incorporated chairman Ngahiwi Tomoana said that with 25 per cent of the Maori population identifying with Ngati Kahungunu, there was a great demand for such a publication.
Mr Tomoana said the publication would give a ground view of the world from people that were important in the M?ori community but probably invisible in the wider community.
"Readers can expect comments from a Maori political viewpoint and community perspectives."
