Download or read book Ngā Tau Rere written by and published by Raupo. This book was released on 2003 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Nga Tau Rere, David Simmons introduces the reader to 61 ancient Maori poems of forms that are familiar and not so familiar. For example, there are tangi (laments) and haka taua (war dance) and, less well-known, whakaaraara (watch-cries). The poems have been selected from Sir George Grey's Ko Nga Moteatea me Nga Hairara o Nga Maori, which is a collection of works gathered and recorded by Grey and published in 1853. Every poem tells a story and is a record of Maori history. The author has provided English translations for each poem, as well as sourcing information about the subject matter of the poems and providing extensive notes. The introductory notes explain how Maori poetry is composed, and identifies elements of construction that provide a common thread throughout its many forms. This book is an excellent resource for those who wish to appreciate the beauty of Maori poetry and those who wish to study its form, its meaning and the contribution the art form makes to Maori society and culture.

The four raise hokio, giant mystical birds, which take them on flights to explore their new world. On one flight, they discover an island with another colony of people, and here, they are given a quest to interpret hieroglyphic messages drawn on cave walls.

Book Synopsis Oral Traditions of Anuta : A Polynesian Outlier in the Solomon Islands by : Richard Feinberg Professor of Anthropology Kent State University
Download or read book Oral Traditions of Anuta : A Polynesian Outlier in the Solomon Islands written by Richard Feinberg Professor of Anthropology Kent State University and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1998-04-28 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anuta is a small Polynesian community in the eastern Solomon Islands that has had minimal contact with outside cultural forces. Even at the end of the twentieth century, it remains one of the most traditional and isolated islands in the insular Pacific. In Oral Traditions of Anuta, Richard Feinberg offers a telling collection of Anutan historical narratives, including indigenous texts and English translations. This rich, thorough assemblage is the result of a collaborative project between Feinberg and a large cross-section of the Anutan community that developed over a period of twenty-five years. The volume's emphasis is ethnographic, consisting of a number of texts as related by the island's most respected experts in matters of traditional history. Feinberg's annotations, which arm the reader with essential ethnographic and historical contexts, clarify important linguistic and cultural issues that arise from the stories. The texts themselves have important implications for the relationship of oral tradition to history and symbolic structures, and afford new evidence pertinent to Polynesian language sub-grouping. Further, they provide insight into a number of Anutan customs and preoccupations, while also suggesting certain widespread Polynesian practices dating back to the pre-contact and early contact periods.

Book excerpt: This biography of Heke-nuku-mai-nga-iwi Busby brings together the varied life experiences that have made Hec Busby the master waka builder, waka expert, celestial navigator and highly regarded Te Rarawa elder that he is today. He is one of the few active waka taua builders and is responsible for the completion of more than a dozen of these waka for iwi around the country. Acknowledged as the pre-eminent holder of knowledge relating to waka culture, he is frequently consulted for his expert opinion. A real outdoorsman, Hec turned his hand to many pursuits, leading him to set up his own bridge construction business in his twenties. His entrepreneurial and leadership skills along with his tribal and tikanga knowledge have led to his involvement in iwi activities as well as in organising Waitangi commemorations, kapa haka, ocean-going voyages, and waka wananga to pass on his knowledge to the next generation.
