THE WHARE KOHANGA AND ITS LORE
By Elsdon Best
NATIONAL MUSEUM BULLETIN No. 13

In this study of Whare Kohanga (the “Nest House”) is contained data of baptism rites performed over infants of superior families only, together with other cultural ceremonies applied to infants of high birth.

The text has been retained in its original style in the belief that these basic studies should still be readily available without textual alteration.
