Particular attention will be paid to the Dutch explorer Abel Tasman and the Dutch immigration wave of the 1950s. Through a discussion of the meeting house and meeting grounds, the relationships Maori maintain to the land will be considered. The vital role of the Treaty of Waitangi (1840) and its present-day repercussions will be looked at. Finally the role of taonga or cultural treasures embodying the ancestral identity of a Maori kin group in relation to particular lands and resources will be explained. In so doing attention will be paid to taonga made from different materials by men as well as by women.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Hawaiian & Pacific H 993.00499 Ve Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 993.00499 Ve Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 993.00499 Ve Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 993.00499 Ve Checked In Add Copy to MyList
