The Maori Heirs of Tane David Lewis and Wener Forman

Hard Cover. Published 1982 First Edition.

Drawing on his deep knowledge of navigation, archaeology, and anthropology, David Lewis tells the story of these creative warlike people from their origins until the nineteenth century, when the Europeans arrived. He shows how all aspects of Maori life were interconnected. The gods were believed to be related to the people, and even trees had souls. Maori myths, their songs and their art, by turns sensuous and fierce, joyous and tragic, form an integral part of the book.
