Henare te Raumoa Ua

Henare te Ua is well known and loved by radio listeners throughout New Zealand. During his radio career, Henare te Ua has met many Maori and Pakeha people who helped to shape our nation. His pen pictures of many of them add new dimensions from his perspective. Descended from heartland Maori stock, he spent forty years as a respected and influential radio broadcaster. He writes about whanau, home life, upbringing, education and being able to store knowledge as essential ingredients that made him a unique person.
This is a warm story, told in Henare’s voice, something like having friendly chats with a favourite uncle! Like any good story, there are highs and lows and Henare is no stranger to these – including a dramatic plane crash that was the start of his broadcasting career. It is definitely not an “I remember when…..” story told in a crackly voice but has a vibrancy which easily blends the past with the present.

When Maori gather for a hui, they have immediate access to a world of history, mythology and traditions which remain a vital reality for as long as the hui lasts. Hui incorporate all Maori ceremonial gatherings: openings of new marae, tangihanga (funerals), hurahanga kôhatu (unveilings), birthdays and anniversaries, and tribal policymaking. This book introduces us to all aspects of the hui and its significance to Maori. It is a definitive study of ceremonial gatherings and the rituals that are the life blood of the marae.
Professor Dame Anne Salmond describes the history of the marae as an institution, the different aspects of rural and urban marae, and marae procedures in different parts of New Zealand. She presents a comprehensive account of Maori ceremonial gatherings for the formal student of ethnology and anthropology and provides absorbing reading for the lay person with an interest in Maoritanga.

Many Maori place names date back to the very earliest days of habitation in Aotearoa New Zealand. Some, in fact, originated in the Hawaiki homeland and were adapted to the new land. Whatever their origin, most reflect the Maori’s closeness to the forces of nature and incorporate common words for everyday things. Lavishly illustrated, this dictionary explains and interprets over 1500 place names as well as providing a guide to pronunciation.
