Abstract:
Based on the author's thesis this is the study of the small Māori community of Waima in the upper reaches of the Hokianga Harbour. Waima is an isolated, depresses rural valley from which emigrants increasingly flow south, typically a Hokianga community with its own distinctive and unhappy history of culture contact and economic change. The author captures the authentic flavour of Māori life in the Hokianga area today - the pecking order among siblings, the hui, the people's patois, the tangi, Social Security payments, debts at the general store, attitudes to Jehovah's Witnesses, the consumption of beer, complaints about the Department of Māori Affairs and many other aspects of the community
