Description
This collection of folktales and legends of the Maori of New Zealand tells of chiefs and maidens as collected over a hundred years ago. There are stories about a pet whale, a dog, curses, and magicians. The interpreted traditions and stories can give insight into the Maori culture. Educators could initiate possible discussion related to criticism of its style and circumstance of collection due to the interaction between the Maori as subject and the non-Maori as interpreter.
