Book excerpt: In waiata our forebears spoke their hearts - in grief and celebration. For many hundreds of years this great oral tradition of song flourished in Aotearoa. During the second half of the nineteenth century, in times of rapid change, maori scholars recorded for the future the words of thousands of waiata. In this anthology, Margaret Orbell places waiata of the nineteenth century in their social and political setting, conveying the poets' responses to their people's trauma. There is a fascinating richness of detail here about traditional Maori life, with insights into the lives of ordinary people as well as into tribal relations and the interaction between Maori and Pakeha. Table of contents: * Lament for a Rangatira * Te Ika-here-ngutu's Lament for His Children * Love Song * Te Rarawa-i-te-rangi's Protest * The Song about Turner's House * Lament for Tamati Tara-hawaiki * Te Whare-pouri's Lament for Nuku-pewpewa * Lament for Te Iwi-ika * Kahoki's Song for Petera Te Puku-atua * Lament for Ngaro * Mihi-ki-te-kapua's Song for Her Daughter * Tatai's Song for Te Toa-haere * Rangiamoa's Lament for Te Wano * The Exile's Lament * Puhiwahine's Song about Her Lovers * Football Song * Song for Te Whiti * Lament for Parata.

Download or read book Tonino written by John G. Stoffolano Jr. and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2011-05-23 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tonino is a young, curious cricket boy, living with his family in Boston. Life is good for young Tonino, but he suspects theres more to the world than his own backyard. He wants to learn about foreign cultures, but mostly he wants to learn about his own family roots. He heads to Italy, where he is surprised to meet the famous Blue Fairy, who was friends with Toninos ancestorthe cricket guide to Pinocchio. Whereas Toninos ancestor was put in charge of young Pinocchios conscience, Tonino is given a much more universal conscience. He is charged with the conscience of the world and the well-being of its environment, a big change to his personal journey. No longer is he looking after the story of his family; now he looks after the story of Mother Earth! Suddenly, he is transported on a worldwide adventure He heads to Puerto Rico and meets the Ta?no people. He visits a monarch in Mexico and cricket warriors in China. In the American Southwest, he learns about the spirit of the cricket katsina; in Hawaii, he encounters Peles rage. Its a lot to take in for the young cricket boy, but ultimately he discovers that seeking his roots is only the beginning in the wide world of biodiversity, cultural diversity, and conservation of both. The boy/cricket is baptized Anthony at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church. His parents live in the North End where his mother kept hearing the television advertisement Anthony, Anthony, Its Prince Spaghetti Day so they named him Anthony. Naming him Anthony was straight forward, but naming him Tonino was at the brilliant suggestion of Dr. William Cooley, retired Northampton Ophthalmologist and avid italophile. Dr. Cooley sent Dr. Stoffolano a short novel by an Italian author named Rodari about a young boy, Tonino, who tries to become invisible so that he could avoid problems with his teacher. Rodari (19201980) was one of Italys best-known writers of childrens books and the recipient of the Hans Christian Andersen Medal for childrens literature. Thus, the name and his ability to become invisible are incorporated into the story. In addition to this reference to his nickname, Tonino is a small cricket because he always ate Italian food in the North End and not cricket food. Thus, he also got the name Tonino, which means little Anthony in Italian from Joe Pace who owns and started Joe Pace & Sons Italian Specialities in Bostons North End. In his novel, Stoffolano establishes the first lineage for this famous cricket family. Toninos great, great, great grandfather was Grillo parlante, the talking cricket in the original story Pinocchio. Grillo was also the conscience of Pinocchio and Grillos great grandson was the famous Jiminy Cricket in Walt Disneys classic movie Pinocchio. In this wonderful story about Tonino, the reader sees many different regions of the world through the eyes of this boy/cricket where, through the experiences of Tonino, the reader will learn more about how crickets played various and important roles in different indigenous cultures. Toninos charge by the Blue Fairy was to become the conscience of the world when it comes to environmental issues: A heavy responsibility or a small boy/cricket. The importance of cultural diversity, just as important as biodiversity, is stressed and Tonino takes on Dr. E. O. Wilson, one of the greatest thinkers/writers of our generation, as his mentor.
