Ngā Pūriri O Taiamai
Nga Puriri o Taiamai was first published by the Polynesian Society in 1987 as The Puriri Trees are Laughing. A record of the political history of Nga Puhi tribal groups in the Taiamai and Te Waimate regions of the inland Bay of Islands, this highly regarded work brings together Nga Puhi oral traditions and early European accounts of the region. The book has three parts: Part One considers political relationships between hapu (subtribes) in the period 1815 to 1819, drawing upon the accounts left by Samuel Marsden in his visits to Te Waimate in 1815 and Taiamai in 1819. Part Two looks back to the beginnings of Nga Puhi with the founding ancestor Rahiri and traces his descendants over four generations, including a narrative by Wiremu Wi Hongi. Part Three moves on to the second half of the eighteenth century, incorporating seven narratives relating to warfare and conquest at Te Waimate and Taiamai. The narratives are given in Maori with English translations, with introductions and concluding discussions. Illustrated with historic drawings and photographs, Nga Puriri o Taiamai also features nine maps and thirty-three whakapapa charts."
