Author(s): Hilary and John Mitchell
Te Ao Maori History, Society & Culture | Secondhand | Rare or Scarce
Second hand.
This valuable regional history encompasses myths and legends, the succession of tribes who have inhabited Te Tau Ihu o TeWaka a Maui and their interactions, early encounters with Europeans, the arrival of the New Zealand Company, the treaty of Waitangi, land transactions, and the administrations of Maori reserves.
Te Ara Hou - The New Society is the second volume in the history of Maori in Nelson and Marlborough. This history details Maori participation in the European settlement society, from commitment to Christianity to enthusiasm for commerce and relationships with Europeans. It shows how Maori fared under European institutions, struggled to survive and how Maori culture and language were swamped by assimilation and Anglicisation.
Nga Tupuna contains Maori baptisms, marriages, census, signatories, owners of occupation, tenths and landless native reserves etc. Invaluable for those of whakapapa connections to Te Tau Ihu. Some records for Ngai Tahu also.
Volumes I & II hardcover with dust jacket Fine/Fine.
Volume III ring-bound with softcovers Very good.
