He Pitopito Korero No Te Perehi Maori

This anthology reproduces full-length news articles, letters, advertisements, and obituaries from 19th-century Maori-language newspapers alongside their English-language translations. An excellent resource for students of the Maori language and culture, Polynesian anthropology and sociology, and New Zealand's colonial history, this collection represents a range of views and experiences of the social, cultural, and political concerns of an indigenous people during New Zealand's early colonial period.
