Tikanga Māori: Living by Maori Values (Revised edition) by Hirini Moko Mead

$45.00 NZD

Available Stock:
1

Category: Maori Culture

Tikanga Maori is the authoritative and accessible introduction to understanding the correct Maori ways of doing things as they were done in the past, as they are done in the present - and as they may yet be. In this revised edition, Hirini Mead has added an extensive new chapter on mana whenua, mana moa na, Maori authority over land and ocean, and the different interpretations and applications of mana whenua and mana moana historically and today. Hirini Mead has also updated the section on tangihanga to include contemporary issues about cremation choices and what happens to the deceased in Maori/non-Maori partnerships where there are disputes about following tangi tikanga or Pakeha traditions. The remainder of the book explores how tikanga Maori may influence contemporary life and society, and Hirini Mead proposes guidelines to help us test appropriate responses to challenges that may yet be laid down. ...Show more

Korero Tahi: Talking Together by Joan Metge

$24.99 NZD

Available Stock:
0

Category: Maori Culture | Reading Level: very good

This book draws on the rich resource of tikanga Maori to develop a procedure for managing group discussion in settings where Maori and non-Maori from different ethnic backgrounds meet to talk about common concerns. Korero Tahi -- talking together -- is the opposite of talking past each other (which was the focus of an earlier book, Talking Past Each Other). The Korero tahi procedure aims to create an environment which is comfortable and empowering to all participants in a discussion, an environment where non feel disadvantaged or intimidated by rules, words or actions they do not understand, and where all are accorded equal dignity and respect. It can be used in a wide range of contexts such as conferences, workshops or community discussions. Korero Tahi is based on Dame Joan Metge’s own extensive experience of observation in Maori settings, discussion with Maori experts and conducting workshops with Maori partners. It is sensible and imaginative; and while practical in its first intent, it has valuable social implications for contemporary New Zealand. ...Show more
