Written in te reo Māori, Ngaa Mahi Whakaari a Tiitokowaru draws upon a wide range of Māori oral literature and is complemented by commentary and oral testimony provided to scholar Ruka Broughton in his youth by contemporaries of Tītokowaru.

Rangiāhuta Alan Herewini Ruka Broughton (Ngā Rauru, Ngāti Ruanui) was a tohunga, Anglican priest, and university lecturer. He was born in Whanganui in 1940 and known as Ruka Broughton. In 1978 he began work as a lecturer at Victoria University of Wellington, and together with Hirini Mead and Wiremu Parker he was influential in establishing a marae on the campus in 1985. He was an officiating tohunga at the opening of the exhibition Te Māori in New York. He completed an MA in 1979 with a thesis on Ngā Rauru presented entirely in the Taranaki dialect of te reo Māori. His thesis on Tītokowaru was published posthumously in 1993, as Ngaa Mahi Whakaari a Tiitokowaru.
