THE state of things at Kaiapoi was intolerable. No one was sure of obtaining his dinner regularly; no one could say when he himself might not be converted into a dinner for the most dreadful monster that ever existed. Not far from the pa, in a den of his own special making, lived the Talking Taniwha. Inaccessible, possessingthe power of self-metamorphosis, invulnerable, tremendous, voracious, insatiable, this awful beast preyed upon the unfortunate people of Kaiapoi, till their plumpost maidens and well-grown young men, their tender children and well-conditioned women were all devoured, and none but the weeds of the tribe were left. With things in such a state the miserable remnants sent for help to Kiu, whose fame as a tohunga extended through the length of the three islands. He possessed the power of communicating with departed spirits, and had made his home at Otaki, the headquarters of the Warrior Tribe, where he lived a useful and lucrative life; performing much devilry for the benefit of those who supplied him liberally with this world's goods and tendered him abundant homage. To this great wizard came the takata hara, the representative of the degenerate people of Kaiapoi, the sinful survivors of a race which;spoke the bastard Moriori tongue. This man, having made obeisance to Kiu, unburdened himself of his message. "It is true, great priest," said he, "that I am a member of the accursed tribe which has no knowledge of the gods, a people without sanctity.

Download or read book Maoriland Stories written by Alfred Augustus Grace and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alfred Augustus Grace was one of New Zealand's most accomplished early writers and a member of the celebrated 'Maoriland' school of writing that flourished between 1896 and 1915. These writers' romantic treatment of the Maori people helped shape New Zealand's culture in the early twentieth century. Maoriland Stories (1895) was Grace's first major publication. It contains four stories about settlers and three about Maori and Maori/Pakeha relations. The latter stories were of particular interest to readers of the time. Although New Zealand's population was by then overwhelmingly European, the Maori people and their culture continued to occupy the Pakeha imagination. This near-facsimile edition includes new matierial by Dr Anne Maxwell of the University of Melbourne, discussing the author and his stories and placing them in an historical and cultural context.
