FOREST LORE OF THE MAORI

By Elsdon Best

DOMINION MUSEUM BULLETIN No. 14

421 p. 1977. $17.95 plus $1.25 p & p

Printed without textual alteration, the work provides an important basis for any study of old-time Maori economics and perhaps more important of his attitude to what was a major part of his environment. It will be of general interest today than when first written, since it stresses so fully the uses made by the Maori people of their natural resources, and supplies basic materials for further studies in ethnobotany and ethnology. The reverence which the old time Maori showed towards natural resources mirrors the modern concern for ecological principles.
