Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of the Polynesian Society, Vol. 20: Containing the Transactions and Proceedings of the Society; 1911 The Annual Meeting took place at the Borough Council Office on the 31st January, when a number of members attended. After the minutes of the last annual meeting had been confirmed, the Annual Report of the Council and the Treasurer's accounts were read, passed, and ordered to be printed in the March Journal. The election of officers for the ensuing year then took place, when Mr. S. Percy Smith was re-elected President, and Messrs. Corkill and Newman (who had by the rules been ballotted out) were also re-elected members of the Council, and the latter re-elected Hon. Treasurer. Mr. W. D. Webster was re-elected Hon. Auditor. The meeting then elected Mr. Edward Tregear an Hon. Member of the Society in recognition of his contributions towards Polynesian History, Traditions, and Philology, and also for his services as one of its first secretaries. Rule No. 3 was then altered to read, "The Society shall consist of one (or more) patrons" - the words in brackets having been added to the previous form, and of which six months' notice had been given. After the formal proceedings had terminated, the President delivered an address on "The first discovery of New Zealand by Kupe, in about the tenth century," which was listened to by a large number of ladies and gentlemen who had been invited to attend. The report of the Council and the accounts fallow. Annual Report of the Council. For the year ending 31st December, 1910. This, the eighteenth annual report of the Council, may be brief, for no noticeable feature has marked the proceedings of the past year. As in previous years we have continued to accumulate documents relating to the Polynesian race, many of which have appeared in our quarterly Journal, but still more remain on hand for publication as occasion offers. The Journal has appeared punctually shortly after the expiry of each quarter, and is about the usual size; the number of pages in the year's volume amounting to 235, whilst there are more illustrations than usual. In this connection a word of praise must be given to Mr. Thos. Avery, our publisher, for the care with which the papers are printed, and the consequent trifling corrections to the proofs, by which the editorial duties are much lightened.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Though stronger evidence of this horrid practice prevailing among the inhabitants of this coast will scarcely be required, we have still stronger to give.' - Captain James Cook This Horrid Practice uncovers an unexplored taboo of New Zealand history - the widespread practice of cannibalism in pre-European Maori society. Until now, many historians have tried to avoid it and many Maori have considered it a subject best kept quiet about in public. Paul Moon brings together an impressive array of sources from a variety of disciplines to produce this frequently contentious but always stimulating exploration of how and why Maori ate other human beings, and why the practice shuddered to a halt just a few decades after the arrival of Europeans in New Zealand. The book includes a comprehensive survey of cannibalism practices among traditional Maori, carefully assessing the evidence and concluding it was widespread. Other chapters look at how explorers and missionaries saw the practice; the role of missionaries and Christianity in its end; and, in the final chapter, why there has been so much denial on the subject and why some academics still deny that it ever happened. This Horrid Practice promises to be one of the leading works of New Zealand history published in 2008. It is a highly original work that every New Zealand history enthusiast will want to own and read.

Download or read book Rethinking Oral History and Tradition written by Nepia Mahuika and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2019 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For many indigenous peoples, oral history is a living intergenerational phenomenon that is crucial to the transmission of our languages, cultural knowledge, politics, and identities. Indigenous oral histories are not merely traditions, myths, chants or superstitions, but are valid historical accounts passed on vocally in various forms, forums, and practices. Rethinking Oral History and Tradition: An Indigenous Perspective provides a specific native and tribal account of the meaning, form, politics and practice of oral history. It is a rethinking and critique of the popular and powerful ideas that now populate and define the fields of oral history and tradition, which have in the process displaced indigenous perspectives. This book, drawing on indigenous voices, explores the overlaps and differences between the studies of oral history and oral tradition, and urges scholars in both disciplines to revisit the way their fields think about orality, oral history methods, transmission, narrative, power, ethics, oral history theories and politics. Indigenous knowledge and experience holds important contributions that have the potential to expand and develop robust academic thinking in the study of both oral history and tradition.--

Download or read book Rethinking Oral History and Tradition written by Nepia Mahuika and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-10-09 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indigenous peoples have our own ways of defining oral history. For many, oral sources are shaped and disseminated in multiple forms that are more culturally textured than just standard interview recordings. For others, indigenous oral histories are not merely fanciful or puerile myths or traditions, but are viable and valid historical accounts that are crucial to native identities and the relationships between individual and collective narratives. This book challenges popular definitions of oral history that have displaced and confined indigenous oral accounts as merely oral tradition. It stands alongside other marginalized community voices that highlight the importance of feminist, Black, and gay oral history perspectives, and is the first text dedicated to a specific indigenous articulation of the field. Drawing on a Maori indigenous case study set in Aotearoa New Zealand, this book advocates a rethinking of the discipline, encouraging a broader conception of the way we do oral history, how we might define its form, and how its politics might move beyond a subsuming democratization to include nuanced decolonial possibilities.

Download or read book First Contacts in Polynesia the Samoan Case 1722 1848 written by Serge Tcherkezoff and published by ANU E Press. This book was released on 2008-08-01 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the first encounters between Samoans and Europeans up to the arrival of the missionaries, using all available sources for the years 1722 to the 1830s, paying special attention to the first encounter on land with the Laperouse expedition. Many of the sources used are French, and some of difficult accessibility, and thus they have not previously been thoroughly examined by historians. Adding some Polynesian comparisons from beyond Samoa, and reconsidering the so-called 'Sahlins-Obeyesekere debate' about the fate of Captain Cook, 'First Contacts' in Polynesia advances a hypothesis about the contemporary interpretations made by the Polynesians of the nature of the Europeans, and about the actions that the Polynesians devised for this encounter: wrapping Europeans up in 'cloth' and presenting 'young girls' for 'sexual contact'. It also discusses how we can go back two centuries and attempt to reconstitute, even if only partially, the point of view of those who had to discover for themselves these Europeans whom they call 'Papalagi'. The book also contributes an additional dimension to the much-touted 'Mead-Freeman debate' which bears on the rules and values regulating adolescent sexuality in 'Samoan culture'. Scholars have long considered the pre-missionary times as a period in which freedom in sexuality for adolescents predominated. It appears now that this erroneous view emerged from a deep misinterpretation of Laperouse's and Dumont d'Urville's narratives.
