Sommario/riassunto

This book takes you on a journey exploring the histories of the country's first Polynesian discoverers, its encounters with Europeans and the subsequent settling by Westerners. Particular attention will be paid to the Dutch explorer Abel Tasman and the Dutch immigration wave of the 1950's. 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.

Dit boek neemt de lezer mee op een reis langs de eerste Polynesische ontdekkers, hun ontmoetingen met de Europeanen en de daaropvolgende vestiging van Westerlingen. Bijzondere aandacht is er voor de ontdekkingsreiziger Abel Tasman en de stroom Nederlandse immigranten in de jaren '50. Aan de hand van hun ontmoetingshuizen en -plaatsen wordt de speciale relatie van de Maori met hun land geïllustreerd. De sleutelrol van het Verdrag van Waitangi (1840) met zijn hedendaagse uitwerking wordt beschouwd en tenslotte is er



aandacht voor de rol van taonga, de cultuurschatten die de voorouderlijke identiteit belichamen van een Maorigeslacht in relatie tot hun land en hun middelen.
