Download or read book Woven by Water written by David Young and published by Huia Publishers. This book was released on 1998 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Mana of the Maori is by water. No one, here, carrying the same thing that I'm carrying today." --Titi Tihu In living memory, before the Whanganui River became a tawny mass seeming to flow upside down, the river bed was clean stone and the water of the river "tasted like kowhai. The trees used to grow over the river and drop into the water, and the water tasted like kowhai." This is a book of many river people--a "hidden" prophet, living with over a thousand followers at a place now deserted; a Pakeha-Maori, making gunpowder using charcoal made from willows grown from cuttings taken from Napoleon's grave; a riverboat magnate, building a fiefdom on 'the Rhine of Maoriland'; a highly decorated soldier, fighting as a kupapa yet fighting for tino rangatiratanga; arsenic and flour poisoners--and always, the river itself.

Download or read book Being Pakeha Now written by Michael King and published by Penguin Random House New Zealand Limited. This book was released on 2013-08-01 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1985, Michael King's Being Pakeha became a gentle Kiwi classic, a strong reply both to Maori who were asserting their own identity and also to Pakeha who mumbled that they didn t have a strong culture and identity of their own. Being Pakeha Now is an updated edition that reflects on these issues and how they have changed and evolved over the last fifteen years. The theme of Being Pakeha is that white New Zealanders do indeed belong to a strong culture, which is called 'Pakeha' and which is different, strong and definable and worth celebrating. In this revised edition King rewrites the Introduction and updates many of the chapters. In addition, he offers two new chapters, one on his experiences with Moriori and the Chathams and the other on his involvement in the NZ literary community.

Download or read book Te Rauparaha written by Patricia Burns and published by Raupo. This book was released on 1980 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Te Rauparaha's notoriety was established even before the first British settlers arrived in New Zealand, and the myth of Te Rauparaha the murderous savage was one which few Europeans felt inclined to explode. It is only in recent years that official documents from the colonial period have become readily available ... and these throw a very different light on the events surrounding the colonisation of the Cook Strait area and the latter part of Te Rauparaha's life from much that had been accepted in the past. What they reveal is the astonishing gap between Maori and European views of colonisation - and of Te Rauparaha. [He] was a man of extraordinary ability ... there could be no denying his achievements as a physically unprepossessing warrior-chief who assumed leadership of a small tribe in a time of danger, led them on a long and hazardous journey to the Kapiti coast and from there conquered vast terrritories. His victories changed for ever life in the southern half of New Zealand ... He was, however, a man of many parts - a leader as skilled in the arts of peace as the arts of war"--Publisher's description.
