Mana Tuturu : Maori Treasures and Intellectual Property Rights order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 49.99 each
Paperback
Author: Barry Barclay
In Stock: 1
This book is a timely, valuable and immensely wise meditation on the complex and difficult problems that arise when the treasures of indigenous peoples, especially Maori, enter the commercial world which seeks to reproduce and disseminate them. Well aware that such matters are not simple, Barry Barclay draws on his long experience as a filmmaker, often depicting Maori subjects, to conduct a hui, or public forum, to show, to listen, to suggest ways in which two worlds, each important, can meet. His gripping and moving book will be a guide in the areas of film and television, libraries, archives and museums, jurisprudence and ethics; but beyond that it is the kind of classic book that anyone seriously concerned about the culture of contemporary New Zealand, or any post-colonial country, should read and ponder on.

First published November 2005.

Maori and the Environment order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 55.00 each
Paperback
Author: Rachel Selby
In Stock: 1
This collection of 19 articles discusses the impact of changes in Aotearoa New Zealand's natural environment due to factors such as climate change, pollution and degredation of waterways and land, pest control and environmental management policy. It highlights Maori perspectives on these issues and actions that Maori have taken to maintain and restore the environment. These contributions demonstrate that the relationship that Maori have with the environment through kaitiakitanga has sound environmental principles and provide a reminder of obligations for future generations of all New Zealanders. With local, regional and central government decisions about the environment continuing to be based on a least expensive option rather than on the most sustainable, the book suggests that Maori should take a lead role as active kaitiaki to promote sound principles in the wider community for the benefit of all.

Nga Taonga Takaro : Maori Sports and Games order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 42.00 each
Paperback
Author: Harko Brown
In Stock: 1
In Nga Taonga Takaro, Harko Brown writes about the revival of more than 20 ancient games and sports of the Maori - including poi, stick games, kites, ball games, memory games, and board games. He traces the history and legend behind each game, and gives clear instructions on how to play, the rules of the game, and how to create the equipment used. The games are illustrated with action colour photographs throughout, to enhance readers' understanding of these indigenous sports. Traditional Maori games were used to transfer skills and techniques from playgrounds to battlefields, to promote learning in wananga, to problem-solve everyday situations, and to pass on the values and intellect from one generation to the next.
In Nga Taonga Takaro, the games have been adapted for a contemporary audience - individual and team sports for schools, community groups, marae and workplace.

Oriori: A Maori Child is BornFrom Conception to Birth order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 37.00 each
Author: Robyn Kahukiwa & Roma Potiki
In Stock: 1
Selected as one of the Top 20 titles of the 1999 Listener Women's Book Festival.

An Oriori is a chant or lullaby that welcomes a newborn Maori child into this world. At once celebratory and cautionary, it is composed by the child's parents or extended family as a mark of respect for the new life.
Here, Robyn Kahukiwa's magical images and Roma Potiki's powerful words combine to tell the story of one child's conception, gestation and birth. They call on ancient stories associated with the gifting by the mother of the spirit, heart and knowledge of the child - the way the whanau had of passing the wisdom of the iwi to the next generation.
In Oriori we hear many voices - mother to child, whanau to mother, gods to child, but, above all, that of the mother as she prepares her child and herself for the birth.

I realise that I am also all the generations,
a precious vessel.
I ask for help from all sides of ... more

NZ$ 39.99 each
Paperback
Author: Cleve Barlow (Senior Lecturer in Maori Studies, University of Auckland, New Zealand)
In Stock: 1
Words like aroha, mana, and tapu are familiar to most New Zealanders, but what do they really mean?
This book provides explanations in English and Maori of seventy terms which are important in Maori culture. Each term is clearly defined, and its significance explained with reference to tradition, custom, myth and ritual, as well as present day understanding.

The author, Cleve Barlow, draws on the traditional learning of the whare wananga, on karakia and whakatauki, to reveal the richly spiritual world of the Maori. He is learned in both Maori and Pakeha worlds, and is able to combine anthropological and linguistic insight with the traditional lore of the tupuna handed down for generations. The book is also enlivened by anecdote and enriched by personal experience. Tikanga Whakaaro is a book for both Pakeha and Maori. Students of the language at all levels will find it helpful for its insights into Maori thought, as well as ... more

Revival of an Ancient Method of Divination and Prophesy of the Polynesian Maori

Matakite-o-Maui is in fact a very ancient system of divination for prophesy used by the Maori seers and prophets. It is created around Maui-tikitiki-a-Te Ranga, otherwise known as Maui, a demi-god, a hero by his many feats, and also an ancient ancestor to Maori.

Accounts of Maui’s life are portrayed in the form of twelve myths which describe the deeds and useful devices he created to benefit mankind, and these are portrayed in the divination rite using beautifully illustrated Tarot cards.

Paperback with 12 Tarot cards

First published November 2008, Auckland
