MOA-HUNTER PERIOD OF MAORI CULTURE
ROGER DUFF—CANTERBURY MUSEUM BULLETIN No. 1
436 p. 1977.
$17.50 plus $1.25 p & p
This book deals with the most important site yet investigated and in its discussions it traverses most of the New Zealand archaeological field.

A chance discovery in 1939 by a 13-year-old boy revealed the grave of a chief in the gravels of the Wairau boulder bank. The grave, goods, and bones of the ancient chief, prone in his gravel grave, with skull directed towards the setting sun, spoke with more authority regarding his race than the distorted memories of Maori tradition.

Although scholarly and technical, the book sustains throughout the drama of this archaeological discovery, and recreates from the evidence of bone and stone the life of our first Polynesians in the Moa-hunter period of Maori culture.

SHADOW OF THE LAND
By Ian Ward
422 p. 1968.
$9 plus 70c p & p
The title for this book was provided by Nopera Panakarero, a Kaitaia chief of much influence, who, in May 1840, believed that only the “shadow of the land” had gone to Queen Victoria whilst the substance remained with the Maoris. Less than a year later he revised this opinion convinced that only the “shadow” would be the Maori portion.

The author examines the British acquisition of New Zealand, the Maoris, trust in the Treaty of Waitangi, and their confidence that its terms would be honoured and explains it was only by accident that the Maoris were guaranteed the possession of their lands and ancient privileges.

It is under these circumstances that the book considers the use of military force in New Zealand, analyses the arguments surrounding the provision of troops and concludes that, beyond any reasonable doubt, that there was never an attempt to govern by “moral suasion”.

New Zealand followed the normal nineteenth century British pattern of territorial acquisition.

The book is an essential introduction to the Maori wars of a later date.
