Every kete has a story. This collection is drawn from the rich store of information and memories associated with kete - these much loved but often overlooked 'baskets of knowledge'. Some stories are short, others grow with the telling. All are told with warmth, humour and humility, giving us insight into how the humble kete so often helps to establish ongoing friendships and relationships. Some stories are told by the kete makers. They tell about the process of weaving a kete - learning the techniques, gathering and preparing the materials, then bringing everything together in the designing and making of the kete. Others are related by people whose kete have been passed on to them by family members, friends, noted weavers, or even strangers. These kete have come to be treasured by their owners as taonga imbued with the memories they carry. Their stories are often poignant, bringing back glimpses of earlier times and people who are no ...

Exploring Maori Values

Paperback
Author:
John Patterson

This book, first published in 1992, offers Pakeha New Zealanders an insight into Maori thought and values and the basis for the sort of understanding and partnership that should exist between Pakeha and Maori. It also presents a new perspective from which long-held Pakeha values can be reassessed.
John Patterson attempts, as an investigative philosopher, to come to grips with personal, embedded limitations that inform any look into one world-view from the perspective of another. He demonstrates a high degree of empathy with and respect for Maori and the book offers a practical model for engagement with this culture and for greater mutual understanding.

An educational book for Pakeha about Pakeha identity, racism and the Treaty of Waitangi.
This book was written as a result of the hugely popular Waitangi & Associates treaty workshops - two day seminars for Pakeha, to give them greater understanding of New Zealand cultural issues.
Healing our History is divided into two sections: (1) The History and (2) The Healing. The first section examines aspects of global history in relation to indigenous people, New Zealand's colonial history and why we haven't learned this information at school. The second section explores the notion of valuing your own story and exploring some ways of healing our history. Also contained in the second section are stories from people who have been on the Treaty workshops. These accounts outline the experiences each person had as a result of confronting their own histories and locating them in the greater sphere of New Zealand culture - and how these ...

It was a pristine world, green, natural, untainted. Aotearoa New Zealand was covered with gigantic trees and delicate ferns, a landscape teeming with wildlife, especially birds of impossible shapes and heavenly sounds. It was paradise.
Then people came. And as the centuries passed, a little more of the land was despoiled, a few more species of wildlife disappeared forever. But the original Maori settlers remembered the land as it was and recorded its life in elaborate and splendid stories that became the legends of Aotearoa.
Now, in this breathtaking book, Chris Winitana re-tells fourteen of the favourite stories of the Maori people, accompanied by over one hundred colour photographs by Andy Reisinger that show the paradise that was - and is - New Zealand. The book includes many of the best-known stories - the legends of Maui, Kupe, the Arawa canoe, Rona and the moon - and some less well known, such as the legend of the walking ...

Words like aroha, mana, and tapu are familiar to most New Zealanders, but what do they really mean?
This book provides explanations in English and Maori of seventy terms which are important in Maori culture. Each term is clearly defined, and its significance explained with reference to tradition, custom, myth and ritual, as well as present day understanding.
The author, Cleve Barlow, draws on the traditional learning of the whare wananga, on karakia and whakatauki, to reveal the richly spiritual world of the Maori. He is learned in both Maori and Pakeha worlds, and is able to combine anthropological and linguistic insight with the traditional lore of the tupuna handed down for generations. The book is also enlivened by anecdote and enriched by personal experience.

A Carved Cloak for Tahu: A History of Ngai Tahu Matawhaiti by Mere Whaanga (Ngati Rongomaiwahine, Ngati Kahungunu) tells the story of the northern Hawke’s Bay hapu Ngai Tahu Matawhaiti, blending old and new, land and people, traditional stories and modern issues. The carvings of the wharenui Te Poho o Tahu at Iwitea, near Wairoa, are the starting point for a tribal history that goes back to Hawaiki. Traditional methods and materials of Maori history – whakairo, waiata, tauparapara – then evoke the stories and identity of a people who keep alive the links with their tipuna and many other iwi. This is also a story of changes in land tenure, obligations and authority – among the fundamental concerns of Maori since the mid nineteenth century – and the way one hapu has responded to them. This book will be of interest around the country as it offers a template to hapu and iwi around the country for capturing their own oral history and ...

Beyond Biculturalism : The politics of an indigenous minority

Paperback

Dominic O'Sullivan

Beyond Biculturalism is a critical analysis of contemporary Maori public policy. Bicultural political theory dominated Maori/Crown relationships during the 1980s and 1990s and O'Sullivan argues that biculturalism inevitably makes Maori the junior partner in a colonial relationship that obstructs Maori aspirations to self-determination. The politics of indigeneity and self-determination are discussed as alternative political ideas for thinking about Maori relationships with the state. Against this background, and by drawing on Australian and Canadial comparisons, the book examines contemporary Maori political issues such as the Foreshore and Seabed Act 2004, Maori parliamentary representation, the 'one law for all' ideology, settlements of Maori grievances against the Crown, and Maori economic development.

Bible & Treaty: Missionaries among the Maori is a complex and colourful adventure of faith, bravery, perseverance and betrayal that seeks to recover lost connections in the story of modern New Zealand. It brings a fresh perspective to the missionary story, from the lead-up to Samuel Marsden's first sermon on New Zealand soil, and the intervening struggle for survival and understanding, to the dramatic events that unfolded around the Treaty of Waitangi and the disillusionment that led to the Land Wars in the 1860s. While some missionaries clearly failed to live up to their high calling, the majority committed their lives to Maori and were instrumental in spreading Christianity, brokering peace between warring tribes, and promoting literacy - publishing, for instance, the first indigenous-language Bible in the Southern Hemisphere. This highly readable account, from the author of Ratana Revisited: An Unfinished Legacy (2006) and Ratana: ...

Maoritanga and Maori modernist art 1900 - 1980
This exciting book charts the growth and development of the Maori modernist art. Artists constructed a Maori art that attempted to respond to the modern world.
The book includes a rich selection of reproductions.
This exciting book by a leading younger art historian charts the growth and development of the Maori modernist art that emerged from the rapid urbanisation of Maori in the midtwentieth century and the complex transition of Maori cultural and social structures from a rural to an urban setting. Artists like Arnold Wilson, Para Matchitt and Selwyn Muru, encouraged by Gordon Tovey and the Education Department, constructed a Maori art that reacted against the customary culture championed by Ngata and attempted to respond to the modern world in which they lived.Introductory chapters set the conservative scene against which the artists reacted and a conclusion points ...

Hazel Petrie

This fascinating book explores the entrepreneurial activity of Maori in the early colonial period.
It focuses on two industries, coastal shipping and flourmilling, where they were spectacularly successful in the 1840s and 1850s. Hazel Petrie shows how quickly and effectively Maori society adapted to accommodate and develop such capital intensive investments, harnessing tribal ownership, existing skills and a keen eye for commercial advantage. She also charts the sudden decline of Maori economic success by the 1860s.
The book draws on a wide range of sources in both languages.

First published in 1990, and reprinted steadily ever since, the first edition of the

This revised edition includes an update of the original book to incorporate modern terms and useage, as well as providing a comprehensive and authoritative range of simple phrases for use in a variety of social and formal occasions.
Many New Zealanders have a smattering of Te Reo, but are shy of using it in case they make embarrassing errors or because they are afraid their limited vocabulary is insufficient. This book is the perfect stepping stone to greater confidence, with a useful pronunciation guide and helpful information about dialectal and regional differences. With an increasing interest in the Maori language, and the advent of Maori television, many more people are learning and speaking Maori, and this ...
