| Ka rite te kÅ para e kÅ nei i te ata It is like a bellbird singing at dawn. Like the clear morning song of te kÅ parapara, the bellbird, this book aims to allow the MÄ ori world to speak for itself through an accessible introduction to MÄ ori culture, history and society from an indigenous perspective. In twenty-one illustrated chapters, leading scholars introduce MÄ ori culture (including tikanga on and off the marae and key rituals like pÅ whiri and tangihanga), MÄ ori history (from the beginning of the world and the waka migration through to MÄ ori protest and urbanisation in the twentieth century), and MÄ ori society today (including twenty-first century issues like education, health, political economy and identity). Each chapter provides a descriptive narrative covering the major themes, written in accessible formal English, including appropriate references to te reo MÄ ori and to the wider Pacific. Chapters are illustrated with a mixture of images, maps and diagrams as well as relevant songs and sayings. Te KÅ parapara is an authoritative and accessible introduction to the past, present and future of the MÄ ori world for students and general readers. Ko te manu kai i te miro nÅ na te ngahere, ko te manu kai i te mÄ tauranga nÅ na te ao. The bird that feasts on miro tree berries belongs to the bush, the bird that feasts on knowledge belongs to the world. |
