The coming of the Maori

documentary heritage
  • Other Name

    Cawthron lecture (Series)

  • Description

    "The Maori people of New Zealand, according to their own traditional history, are the result of an intermixture of more than one migration to these shoers. Of these migrations, some were accidental or drift, whilst others were expeditionary and deliberate. In dealing therefore with the coming of the Maori, we have to discuss the coming of various waves of voyagers and consider the evidence supplied by oral traditions and genealogical tables.

    We must further seek what ethnological data can be supplied by our present knowledge of race and culture."--introduction.
