Maori by Dorota Starzecka

This work aims to introduce Maori art and culture, both past and present, to a general audience, and to explore themes which are at the centre of Maori studies. The book examines the archaeology and early history of the Maori people, and discusses evidence for religion, ritual, and social and political organization after the arrival of the Europeans. The development of a distinctively Maori art is studied as is the impact of external influences. The techniques and materials of fibre arts - clothing, basketry and nets - are surveyed, with special attention to developments bought about by social, economic and ecological changes in New Zealand from the earliest settlements to modern times.
