GENERAL PUBLICATIONS

MAORI
By Witi Ihimaera
45 p. 1975. $1.20

A colourful booklet describing the coming of the Maori to
New Zealand, his history, heritage, folklore, beliefs, and
cultural unity.

Each chapter has a quotation from a Maori proverb,
phrase, saying, or canoe chant and these concepts are pre-
sented in words and pictures.

Continues with the arrival of the pakeha and the pattern of
events which followed, the Treaty of Waitangi and the Land
Wars. Moves on to the Maori today, finishing with the theme,
one country, two heritages in unity.

Well illustrated with 64 coloured photos, of interest to all
New Zealanders and tourists. (Tourist and Publicity Depart-
ment.)

MAORI AGRICULTURE
By Elsdon Best
NATIONAL MUSEUM BULLETIN No. 9
315 p. 1976. $13.50

The only comprehensive study of Maori agriculture available,
this bulletin adds a further volume to the series of Elsdon
Best’s works which the Government Printer undertook to
reprint preserving the original text and bulletin numbers. I
recommend this book and the series as a whole; to collectors,
archaeologists, and to those studying the prehistoric economy
of the Maori people. (Government Printer.)

THE MAORI AS HE WAS
By Elsdon Best
295 p. 1974 reprint. $6.50

Fifty years of public demand since this book was first
published resulted in the need for reprints in 1934 and 1952.
The text has been reproduced unchanged but the originals
of some of the figures could not be traced and these have
been replaced with similar illustrations. There have been many
advances in our knowledge of Maori life since this book first
appeared. The work of numerous ethnologists, and more
recently archaeologists, has critically examined many of the
earlier concepts, confirming some, disproving others, and
altering others to varying degrees. No one has yet produced a
synthesis of the results of all this scholarship and there is
still nothing as comprehensive as this book of Best’s to give
a general account of the Maori. This book was first published
when Best was 68 and thus represents the accumulated know-
ledge of a lifetime. It has now become a classic introduction
to Maori life. Its continued availability should help the reader
to obtain a basic background to old time Maori life which
can be extended by further reading.

THE MAORI CANOE
By Elsdon Best
NATIONAL MUSEUM BULLETIN No. 7
451 p. 1976. $17.50

A reprinted edition without textual alterations and retaining
the old Dominion Museum number. Another example of
Elsdon Best’s dedicated effort to preserve Maori culture. The
material presented on canoes, their materials, types, methods
of construction, and associated artifacts make interesting
reading for the layman as well as for scholars of the Maori.
(Government Printer.)

MAORI RELIGION AND MYTHOLOGY PART 1
By Elsdon Best
NATIONAL MUSEUM BULLETIN No. 10
424 p. 1976. $18

An account of the theory of the universe and its creation,
study of the origin of man, religious beliefs, rites, magic, and
folklore of the Maori people of New Zealand. First published
in 1924, reprinted without textual alteration and retaining
the original bulletin numbers. (Government Printer.)

MAORI STOREHOUSES AND KINDRED STRUCTURES
By Elsdon Best
116 p., illustrated. 1974 reprint. $6.50

As an authority on Maori culture, the author has compiled
in this publication a comprehensive record on the use of the
different storage structures, etc., used by the Maori in former
times. By studying items pertaining to Maori technology it is
hoped this will throw light upon many phases of the social life
and customs hitherto unknown. This bulletin is No. 5 in the
Dominion Museum Series.
