Best of Both Worlds : The: Story of Elsdon Best and Tutakangahau

order quantity

NZ$ 40.00 each

Paperback

Author: Jeffrey Paparoa Holman

Customer Order Reference:

In 1895 a meeting took place in the rugged Urewera ranges - Tuhoe country - that would have lasting effects on our views of traditional Maori society. Elsden Best, a self-taught anthropologist and quartermaster on the road past Lake Waikaremoana, was sought out by a leading Tuhoe chief, Tutakangahau of Maungapohatu. The stories he gave to Best to be recorded for future generations are with us today. Best went on to become a noted Pakeha authority on a people he would style as the last of 'the oldtime Maori'. How much did the old man tell him? Was it freely given? Can Best's writings - so pervasive today in our understanding of Maori culture - be truly relied upon? In his unique examination of this historically significant relationship, Jeffrey Paparoa Holman poses such searching questions, further informing a vital national debate on the shared identity - and destiny - of Maori and Pakeha.

Paperback

Author: Kyle Mewburn (Illustrated by Rachel Driscoll; tr to Maori Katerina Te Heikoko Mataira)

Customer Order Reference:

This book is a Finalist in the Picture Book Category, New Zealand Post Children's Book Awards 2010.

In Maori.
Everyone loved Old Hu-Hu. But nobody loved him quite as much as little Hu-Hu-Tu. Old Hu-Hu is a thoughtful tale of young Hu-Hu-Tu's search for understanding of what has happened to his beloved Old Hu-Hu, who flew all the way to the moon (or so they said), then fell down dead. Sensitively written, this is a beautiful story of death and the celebration of life, with powerful, evocative illustrations by Rachel Driscoll.
Translated into Maori by Katerina Mataira.

Kohine Ponika - Ka Haku Au: A Poet's Lament (Audio CD)

Customer Order Reference:

DoP 2008, NZ
10 Track CD
Soundtrack to documentary of same name.

Ka Haku Au – A Poet’s Lament takes award winning songs spanning 50 years, masters the walking bass line before cleverly tripping on the offbeat. These are songs that for generations have been sung by tribes across New Zealand, in the bliss of kitchen parties and kiwi summer batches.
More incredible, they are all the work of one composer, the late Kohine Te Whakarua Ponika, who couldn’t read a note of music.

Ka Haku Au – A Poet’s Lament, the album, is a revelation, a sonata of what Kohine Ponika knew her music could become. Maori lyrics and catchy tunes are honoured while a fusion of jazz, rhythm and blues with melting sax (Brent Turner) oozes her songs into the mainstream genre.

Traditionalists be warned. This album is closer to the composer’s original vision than subsequent adaptations.
So compelling was her story, a housewife who composed hits on a ... more

Hardcover

`An English missionary, a French priest and a Maori chief are the protagonists in this illuminating historical drama of conflicting religious beliefs and cultural mores. All three were strong-minded, self-confident, shrewd and intelligent men, but had little else in common. The stage on which their tension-filled encounters played out was the small settlement of Tangiteroria, situated midway between modern-day Dargaville and Whangarei. The bargaining, misunderstandings and hostilities that occurred there during a few short years before and after 1840 were to affect Maori and European settlement in the wider environs of the Kaipara Harbour down to the present.

Paperback

Author: Rachel Buchanan

Customer Order Reference:

A photo album doesn't tell the whole story of a family, and this book doesn't tell the whole story of Parihaka. Rather, it is a collection of snapshots, a patchwork quilt, a scrapbook. "The Parihaka Album: Lest We Forget" blends the personal and the historical. It tracks the author Rachel Buchanan's discovery of her family's links with Parihaka and her Maori and Pakeha ancestors' roles in the early days of the city that is now Parihaka.
