Maori Art
Up until now books on Maori art have described the work as either traditional (carving, weaving, painting) or contemporary, work produced post-1950s. This book presents a unique focus on Maori art by exploring the connection between the traditional and contemporary, and the place of Maori art within an international context. Maori Art provides a framework for looking at Maori art in a new way and fills a gap in Maori art history - while there are myriad surveys of Maori art there is currently very little critical writing on Maori art and artists. The book is extensively illustrated with over 400 art works, landscapes and meeting houses, many never published before, including 100 specially commissioned photographs from renowned New Zealand photographers Mark Adams and Haruhiko Sameshima.
Muriwhenua Land Report
"This report covers seven claims in Muriwhenua, the country's most northerly district ... Its southern end is fixed by a line from Whangape Harbour in the west to north of Whangaroa in the east, following the Maungataniwha Range. Since Māori hapū or tribes were not generally defined by land boundaries in the manner of states, and were mobile, this boundary is chosen for reasons of geography only. ... claims for the principal hapū aggregations of Ngāti Kuri, Te Aupōuri, and Ngai Takoto ... Te Rarawa ... Ngāti Kuri ... ."-- P. xix.

Voyages and Beaches
What actually happened as Europeans and peoples of the Pacific discovered each other? How have their respective senses of the past influenced their understanding of the present? And what are the consequences of their meeting? In this collection of essays, scholars from European, Polynesian, and Settler backgrounds provide answers to these questions. Writing from, and between, a variety of disciplines (history, anthropology, Maori Studies, literary criticism, law, cultural studies, art history, Pacific Studies), they show how the Pacific reveals a more various and contradictory history than that supposed by such homogenizing metropolitan myths as the introduction of civilization to savage peo...
Hauraki Landmarks
Hauraki Landmarks is a major publication that represents many years of scholarly and field research by the late Taimoana Turoa. Following in the tradition of Don Stafford's Landmarks of Te Arawa, this book is a history both of the Maori peoples and of important places in the Hauraki region. After Turoa's untimely death in 1998, the book has been brought to completion by his nephew, Te Ahukaramu Charles Royal, director of graduate studies and research at Te Wananga-o-Raukawa. The Hauraki tribal district encompasses the entire Coromandel Peninsula as far south as Katikati, the Hauraki Plains, the lands bordering the Hauraki Gulf (taking in the east coast of Auckland as far north as Cape Rodney) and the islands of the Gulf, including Rangitoto, Hauturu (Little Barrier) and Aotea (Great Barrier). The area is home to the Parehauraki tribes, many of which are sub-tribes of Tainui. Te Takoto o te Whenua o Hauraki: Hauraki Landmarks is destined to become the standard work on the Maori history of Hauraki - bringing alive places and history across the fertile lands that stretch from the built-up coast of Auckland to the wild beauty of the Coromandel.
The New Zealand Bill of Rights Act
Written in a lively style, the commentary contains a detailed analysis of this short, but important piece of constitutional legislation. To make it as accessible to readers as possible each chapter of the book follows a pattern of outlining similar provisions in comparable human rights systems (domestic and international), discussing the purposes of each right or provision in issue, engaging in a detailed examination of the meaning of the text of each provision, examining the extent to which justified limits can be placed on guaranteed rights and freedoms, and concluding by considering issues related to remedies where relevant.
Prodigious Birds
Prodigious Birds brings together the entire field of moa-related research, some 150 years of enquiry. The moa was a large flightless bird, hunted into extinction by the Maori tribes of New Zealand before the arrival of Europeans. Atholl Anderson brings an historical perspective to the development of moa research and its formative debates, analytical methods and results, reviewing evidence from palaeontology, biology, archaeology, ethnography and history.
The Hauraki Settlement Overlapping Claims Inquiry Report
"At the heart of this report are allegations by four claimant groups that the Crown breached the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi through the flawed overlapping claims policies, processes, and practices it adopted when negotiating collective and individual settlement deeds with Hauraki iwi. The claimants say, as a result, Hauraki iwi were incorrectly offered redress within the claimants' rohe. The claimants contend existing and potential settlements were thus undermined, their mana whenua and mana moana rights compromised, and their rangatiratanga and tikanga diminished"--Page xv.
