Description: "Since the mid-1800s Te Kingitanga has been a force in New Zealand society. The Maori King movement combines spiritual and political elements which conserve the turangawaewae (standpoints) of the past with practical leadership in the contemporary Maori world. This collection of 14 biographies of leaders has been put together to celebrate the settlement of the Tainui claim and the royal apology given by Queen Elizabeth to the Tainui people in 1995"--Publisher's description.
