Volume Two contains the detailed whakapapa (genealogies) and a fold-out map of this rugged corner of Te Ika-a-Maui (the North Island).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNow in its fifth edition, \u003ci\u003eTuhoe\u003c\/i\u003e ranks as one of the greatest tribal histories of New Zealand. This is a facsimile of the book first published in 1925 by the Board of Maori Ethnological Research on behalf of Best and the Polynesian Society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs Dr Rapata Wiri writes in the preface to Volume 1, the social and anthropological contexts for Best's research have changed significantly in the intervening hundred years, but their value endures: 'Although this book is a product of its time, it significantly contributes to our understanding and knowledge of the tribal traditions and history of Tuhoe and Te Urewera, its lands and its people. To celebrate, we are proud to reprint \u003ci\u003eTuhoe: The Children of the Mist\u003c\/i\u003e in 2025, a century after its first publication.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Archetype\/Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47541932687596,"sku":"9781990042874","price":65.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781990042874-tuhoe.jpg?v=1776661730","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/tuhoe-by-elsdon-best-9781990042874","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
