A CELEBRATION OF THE SCIENCE AND ART OF MAORI WEAVING, FOCUSED ON THE LARGEST COLLECTION OF MAORI CLOAKS IN THE WORLDWeaving is more than just a product of manual skills. From the simple rourou (food basket) to the prestigious kahukiwi (kiwi feather cloak), weaving is endowed with the very essence of the spiritual values of Maori people.This award-winning book opens the storeroom doors of the Te Papa Tongarewa Maori collections, illuminating the magnificent kakahu in those collections and the art and tradition of weaving itself. More than fifty rare and precious kakahu are featured within this book, with glossy colour detail illustrations of each, plus historical and contextual images and graphic diagrams of weaving techniques. These are accompanied by engaging descriptions bringing together information on every cloak - its age, materials, and weaving technique with quotes from master weavers and other experts, stories of the cloaks, details of their often remarkable provenance, discussion of how the craft is being revived and issues to do with cloaks held in international museums. A full glossary, illustrated guide to cloak types, and index are included. Contemporary cloaks made with novel materials also feature.

This Handbook will explore diverse contemporary topics that reflect the variety of heritage in Aotearoa New Zealand, with topics ranging over cultural and natural heritage, the arts and culture, GLAMs (galleries, libraries, archives and museums), public history, and the natural environment. The chapters in this book all have some relationship with people and place, or with Aotearoa New Zealand's shared history and the impact of/response to a colonial legacy. They will explore the conflict and tensions which arise in contemporary debates about postsettler history, national identity, and popular culture. Within this framework of land, Māori and settler/migrant peoples, authors consider the conflict, problems and tensions which arise from settler-colonial violence, post settler history and a fractious national identity. The book will focus on issues that connect to the relationship with indigenous people and the land through the Treaty of Waitangi/Tiriti o Waitangi. It asks: Who are we and what does it mean to live here, as tangata whenua (people of the land) and tangata tiriti (people of the Treaty)? How has our heritage shaped and been shaped by our relationship to each other and to the land?
