Te Ao Hurihuri: The Changing World

Description

Te Ao Hurihuri: The Changing Worldshows Mori engaged energetically in building and rebuilding their communities through the twentieth and twenty-first centuries as Crown policies re-oriented from the acquisition of Mori land to its development. Mori held fiercely to iwi-specific connectedness, community organisation and te reo me ona tikanga (the language and its customs). New kinds of Mori institutions released the dynamism and creativity of tangata whenua, but the struggle continued against a background of social and economic hardship that burdens so many Mori lives. Drawn from the landmark publication,Tangata Whenua: An Illustrated History(2014),Te Ao Hurihuribrings the history up to the present.
