1000 Years of Maori History
by Michael King
Reed Books, 2003, softcover, 128pp
The late Michael King is considered to be New Zealand's foremost historian, and his passing away in 2004 was greatly mourned.
Nga Iwi o Te Motu analyses who Maori are, where they came from, how their ancestors reached Aotearoa New Zealand, how their culture developed in response to New Zealand conditions, and how Maori life changed as a result of the European presence. It provides a context for understanding the Treaty of Waitangi, the recent Maori renaissance, and calls for tino rangatiratanga. In particular it explains how and why Maori culture has persisted in the face of enormous odds against its survival.
Michael King is considered to be a fair historian, his books written in a professional but personalised manner.
