Kōtuku Titihuia Nuttall
Kōtuku Titihuia Nuttall is a Māori and Coast Salish writer, whose debut novel Tauhou was published in 2023.[1]
The daughter of New Zealand writer Tina Makereti and a Salish father from Canada, she lived in both New Zealand and British Columbia in childhood.[2]
Tauhou, an exploration of her heritage as a member of two distinct indigenous peoples from opposite sides of the Pacific Ocean, is written as an alternate reality in which New Zealand and Vancouver Island are much closer together than they are in reality.[3] The book was shortlisted for the 2024 Amazon.ca First Novel Award.[4]
