Linda Tuhiwai Smith wins award for Literary Achievement
Last year, for the first time in the 21-year history of the Prime Minister's Award for Literary Achievement, all three categories were won by women. Lee Murray picked up the fiction award, the non-fiction award went to Professor Linda Tuhiwai Smith, and Tusiata Avia picked up the poetry prize.
In the third and final instalment of our conversations with the winners Susana Lei'ataua catches up with Linda Tuhiwai Smith.
Linda also treats us to a reading from her book Decolonising Methodologies: Research and Indigenous Peoples.
You can listen back to part one of the series featuring Lee Murray and part two with Tusiata Avia.
