Huia Histories of Māori

Danny Keenan


This comprehensive history of Aotearoa New Zealand, written entirely from Māori viewpoints and using Māori customary structures, takes a fresh look at what Māori history is and how it is different from that formerly portrayed. As a post-colonial history, it provides a variety of fresh views on events in the past. Written by sixteen Māori scholars, all specialists in their fields, the book covers histories of descent, the land, people and autonomy and includes writing on customary law, ancestral law, the natural world, Māori urban protest, customary language, health, politics and cultural expression. The book is richly illustrated with over 100 photographs.
