Originally published in 1854, this book describes the cosmology and culture of the Maori people of New Zealand. The physician, colonial administrator and interpreter Edward Shortland (1818–93) based his account on close interaction with the Maori themselves, resulting in distinctive insights into topics such as tapu and land tenure.
