Tikanga Whakaaro: Key Concepts in Maori Culture by Cleve Barlow
5.0
Wow!
A bilingual (Maori and English) book that attempts to succinctly define/explain cultural components of Maori culture. While it cannot fully encompass everything, it definitely gives a glimpse into different terminology. This is something that you can sit on your desk right next to Maori literature, and it will be handy if you need to reference a term you might not know.
I am impressed that there is also a Maori definition of each item. This is nice! It is also helping me learn to try and read Maori--because I can try to read it in Maori first and then go ahead and read the English version to see how much I am comprehending.
