About Wai Ako Books

Wai Ako Books is a whānau-owned publishing house, created by human rights lawyer Roimata Smail with the support of her mum Jeanette (teacher, 40+ years) and husband Sum (teacher, 20+ years).

We started with workshops to make understanding Te Tiriti o Waitangi simple, and launched waiako.com, a website for schools with fun reo Māori music videos.
Today, Wai Ako also publishes books — focusing on Te Tiriti o Waitangi and empowering new authors to tell their own stories.
