Like the clear morning song of te koparapara, the bellbird, this book allows the Maori world to speak for itself through an accessible introduction to Maori culture, history, and society from an indigenous perspective. In 21 illustrated chapters, leading scholars introduce Maori culture (including tikanga on and off the marae and key rituals like powhiri and tangihanga), Maori history (from the beginning of the world and the waka migration through to Maori protest and urbanization), and Maori society today (including 21st century issues like education, health, political economy, and identity). Chapters include a mixture of images, maps, and diagrams as well as relevant songs and sayings.

An Introduction to the Maori World

Te Koparapara

Malcolm Carter

This book is intended for players of Bridge who want to teach the game to children – whether at home, in a Bridge club, or in a school. The authors draw on their extensive experience as both school teachers and Bridge players to suggest a way of teaching Bridge that appeals to children. This method can be used with any natural bidding system.
