Maori Peoples of New Zealand

Reprint, previously published Sep 2006. Who are the Maori of New Zealand? How did they get here and how did they settle the country? What are the main tribal grounps in New Zealand and where are they based? "Maori Peoples of New Zealand" answers these important questions. The first publication tocome out of the online Te Ara Envyclopedia of New Zealand project tells the story of the tngata whenua of Aotearoa, from their journeys across the vast Pacific Ocean to the histories of all the major iwi, including the contemporary issues they face today. No other book brings together in one place all these tribal histories. Based on the latest research and generously illustrated in colour with superb mapping and photographs, this rich resource is an essential part of our nation's story and fills an important gap in the history of New Zealand.
