Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the rich history and cultural tapestry of the Maori people of New Zealand, dispelling common misconceptions about so-called 'primitive' cultures. The author, a long-time resident of the islands before they became an English colony, offers a unique perspective on the Maori way of life, their intricate customs, and their deep connection to the land. This work challenges the notion of the Maori as simply 'savages', highlighting their ingenuity, adaptability, and complex social structures. It explores their remarkable skills in craftsmanship, agriculture, and warfare, demonstrating their ability to thrive in a challenging environment. The author delves into the Maori's spiritual beliefs, their understanding of creation, and the significance of rituals like the 'tapu'. By examining their myths and legends, the book sheds light on their understanding of the world and their place within it. This book is not just a historical account; it's a plea for understanding and respect. The author argues for recognizing the Maori as equals, deserving of the same dignity and opportunities as any other civilization. By appreciating their unique culture and acknowledging their past, we can build a future where both Maori and European cultures coexist and flourish. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780282190262_0
