Download or read book Dominion Museum written by Elsdon Best and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dominion Museum: Bulletin No; 5, Maori Storehouses and Kindred Structures; Houses, Platforms, Racks, and Pits Used for Storing Food, Etc To this has been added the information acquired personally by Mr. Best during many years' residence and intercourse with the least modernized Maori tribes. In working up this material and the actual specimens themselves Mr. Best has further obtained much information by correspondence with Maori scholars in all parts of the Dominion, and has further framed a large number of questions which are put to the few remaining old men of the Maori race who have preserved the old lore, whenever opportunity offers. In spite of the efforts made to exhaust the subject, it has already been found that the publication of such a monograph as that on the stone implements only serves to open up fresh sources of information, and it will be necessary in the future to publish supplementary papers in some suitable form.

Book Gunyah  Goondie   Wurley

Download or read book Gunyah Goondie Wurley written by Paul Memmott and published by Univ. of Queensland Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "When Europeans first reached Australian shores, a long-held and expedient perception developed that Australian Aboriginal people did not have houses or settlements, that they occupied temporary camps, sheltering in makeshift huts or lean-tos of grass and bark. This book redresses that notion, exploring the range and complexity of Aboriginal-designed structures, spaces and territorial behaviour, from minimalist shelters to permanent houses and villages. 'Gunyah, Goondie and Wurley' encompasses Australian Aboriginal Architecture from the time of European contact to the work of the first Aboriginal graduates of university-based courses in architecture, bringing together in one place a wealth of images and research."--Publisher's website.

Book History  heritage  and colonialism

Download or read book History heritage and colonialism written by Kynan Gentry and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2015-04-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History, heritage, and colonialism explores the politics of history-making and interest in preserving the material remnants of the past in late-nineteenth and early-twentieth-century colonial society, looking at both indigenous pasts and those of European origin. Focusing on New Zealand, but also covering the Australian and Canadian experiences, it explores how different groups and political interests have sought to harness historical narrative in support of competing visions of identity and memory. Considering this within the frames of the local and national as well as of empire, the book offers a valuable critique of the study of colonial identity-making and cultures of colonisation. This book offers important insights for societies negotiating the legacy of a colonial past in a global present, and will be of particular value to all those concerned with museum, heritage, and tourism studies, as well as imperial history.

Book The Legacy of Guilt

    Book Details:
  • Author : Judith Binney
  • Publisher : Bridget Williams Books
  • Release : 2021-04-28
  • ISBN : 1927131014
  • Pages : 304 pages

Download or read book The Legacy of Guilt written by Judith Binney and published by Bridget Williams Books. This book was released on 2021-04-28 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The archetypal story of Thomas Kendall, a self-torturing, struggling missionary in nineteenth century New Zealand, is also a remarkable history of cross-cultural experience. Posted to New Zealand in 1814, Kendall was immensely devout but entirely unprepared for dealing with Māori. He nonetheless helped produce the first Māori Grammar, but was hindered by rumours of an affair with a Māori chief’s daughter. Dismissed from his duties in 1823, he continued studying Māori culture until his death nearly a decade later. Long out of print, this work by a leading New Zealand historian tells an absorbing story of the difficulties and dangers of the evangelical mission.

  • Author : Hazel Petrie
  • Publisher : Auckland University Press
  • Release : 2013-10-01
  • ISBN : 1775580407
  • Pages : 320 pages

Download or read book Chiefs of Industry written by Hazel Petrie and published by Auckland University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on a wide range of sources in both English and Maori, this study explores the entrepreneurial activity of New Zealand's indigenous Maori in the early colonial period. Focusing on the two industries—coastal shipping and flourmilling—where Maori were spectacularly successful in the 1840s and 1850s, this title examines how such a society was able to develop capital-intensive investments and harness tribal ownership quickly and effectively to render commercial advantages. A discussion of the sudden decline in the &“golden age&” of Maori enterprise—from changing market conditions, to land alienation—is also included.
