This classic text on Maori culture collects indigenous New Zealand songs recorded over a period of 40 years by a respected Maori leader and distinguished scholar. The essence of Maori culture and its musical tradition is exhibited in the original song texts, translations, audio CDs, and notes from contemporary scholars featured in this new edition. This rare cultural treasure makes accessible a fleeting moment in Maori history when traditional practices and limited experience with the outside world allowed indigenous songs and customs to flourish.

The leading historian Keith Sorrenson has collected in three volumes the complete correspondence (174 letters in all) between two distinguished twentieth-century Maori scholars and statesmen, Sir Apirana Ngata and Sir Peter Buck (Te Rangi Hiroa). 'The letters confirm that each man was indeed a totara tree of some magnificence and that each was a tree that stood alone. Even today such trees remain rare,' writes Hirini Moko Mead.

"Sir Apirana Ngata and Sir Peter Buck (Te Rangi Hiroa) wrote frequently and often very long letters to each other for many years. Ngata was a Member of Parliament and for some years a cabinet minister. Buck was a doctor who became an anthropologist and eventually Director of the B.P. Bishop Museum in Honolulu. Their letters, besides being a personal record of their lives, comment on public events and on the development of anthropology in the Pacific. The two were deeply Māori, always aware of their differences form the Pakeha world in spite of their success within it, and their reflections on Māori culture and Māori affairs remain topical in the very different climate of today. The letters are published in three volumes, of which this is the last."--Back cover.

This collection offers the fruits of a stimulating workshop that sought to bridge the fraught relationship which sometimes continues between anthropologists and indigenous/native/aboriginal scholars, despite areas of overlapping interest. Participants from around the world share their views and opinions on subjects ranging from ideas for reconciliation, the question of what might constitute a universal "science," indigenous heritage, postcolonial museology, the boundaries of the term "indigeneity," different senses as ways of knowing, and the very issue of writing as a method of dissemination that divides and excludes readers from different backgrounds. This book represents a landmark step in the process of replacing bridges with more equal patterns of intercultural cooperation and communication.
