Description
"Drawing on his considerable knowledge of navigation, archaeology and anthropology, David Lewis tells the story of these creative and warlike people from their origins until the nineteenth century, when the Europeans arrived... Werner Forman's exuberant and sensitive photographs place the Maori in the context of their hauntingly beautiful land, and cast new light on their remarkable artefacts." - inside book jacket
