Maori Storehouses and Kindred Structures
註釋Elsdon Best was a prolific recorder of pre-European Maori social life and material culture. His was a lifelong project underpinned by a belief that Maori were a people under threat from extinction, yet by the time of his death in 1931 Best's work had assumed new importance as it informed a Maori cultural renaissance. Today, the Elsdon Best books are accepted as classic studies. They remain a uniquely valuable record of traditional Maori culture, social customs and beliefs.
