Title: Maori in Aotearoa New Zealand
Author: MIKAERE BUDDY

Buddy Mikaere provides a highly readable
historical overview of early settlement in New Zealand, and examines the impact
of colonisation and later a developing urban world on Maori and their
traditional way of life.







Today, the importance of marae and community
remains strong, as do many time-honoured rituals.







The renaissance of Maori culture has included the
revival of the language and the flourishing of creative arts, including:







whakairo – carving



kapa haka and haka – performing arts



waka ama – outrigger canoe racing



ta moko – tattooing



music, arts and crafts.







Maori in Aotearoa New Zealand introduces visitors
and locals alike to the culture and customs of Maori in contemporary New
Zealand.
