Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This book provides a concise overview of the history of Polynesia, focusing on New Zealand and its outlying islands, during the period 900-1600. It provides a thematic examination of Polynesia to avoid placing the region's history into an inaccurate, linear Western chronology. The themes of movement and migration, adaptation and change, and development and expansion offer the optimal means of understanding Polynesia during this time. Through this innovative and unique perspective on Polynesian history, which has not been previously undertaken, the reader is encouraged to think about regions outside Europe in relation to the premodern period. A concise introduction to the history of South Polynesia during the period typically defined as the 'Middle Ages' by western historians, focusing on Aotearoa, Rekohu, and Rapa Nui. Written in response to a wider global approach to medieval history, it offers a fresh perspective on the history of the region during that period.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Ngati Kuia are tangata whenua of Te Tauihu-o-Te-Waka-a-Maui (the northern South Island). Descended from the ancestress Kuia, their whakapapa sits within a rich and complex Maori lineage, connecting with the stories held by neighbouring iwi particularly the other Kurahaupo waka groups. Their networks also stretch towards the head of the country, linking to iwi originating from the East Coast of Te Ika-a-Maui (the North Island), such as Ngai Tahu, Ngati Kahungunu, Muaupoko, and ultimately back to the Polynesian homelands, Hawaiki.Drawing on hundreds of whakapapa, purakau, waiata and karakia recorded in nineteenth-century tribal manuscripts and court records, Madi Williams presents Ngati Kuia history in Ngati Kuia voices. From the stories of such tipuna as Kaikaiawaro and Hinepopo, through early encounters with neighbouring iwi and European settlers, to recent events such as the Treaty settlement process, this expansive account places Ngati Kuia at the heart of the regions living, layered history.As Te Kenehi Teira observed during the Ngati Kuia Treaty claim, the history of the iwi resembles one huge jigsaw puzzle you have to find all the pieces and put them together. In this book, the pieces finally sit alongside one another. From Maui to the Foreshore and Seabed case, Ngati Kuia tell their story from the tip of the canoe, Te Tauihu-o-Te-Waka-a-Maui.
