Huia Histories of M?ori

This comprehensive history of Aotearoa New Zealand, written entirely from Māori viewpoints using Māori customary structures, takes a fresh look at what Māori history is and how it differs from that formerly portrayed. As a postcolonial history, it provides a range of fresh views on past events.

Written by sixteen Māori scholars, including two Knights of the Realm, all specialists in their fields, the book covers histories of descent, the land, people, and autonomy. It includes writing on customary law, ancestral law, the natural world, Māori urban protest, customary language, health, politics, and cultural expression.

Huia Histories of Māori is richly illustrated with over 100 photographs.
