Book excerpt: This comprehensive guide examines the personal histories, roles, and personalities that played into the traditional cultural art of carving.

Included is a discussion of the establishment of the government-sponsored Rotorua School of Maori Art in 1928, which appointed as the main tutor Eramiha Kapua, a Ngati Tarawhai carver, thus helping his own traditional tribal art to make the transition into a modern “national” art.
