8.1 Introduction This bibliography has been compiled to provide a list of references for the library user who is looking for information on Māori attitudes, beliefs, views and conceptions. Inevitably it broadens out to include a wider perspective of Māori culture because for many subjects the only available material has not been written with these concerns in mind. Earlier anthropologists were more interested in material culture and what they called rites and customs. It is only in more recent times that the focus has moved towards an exploration of underlying viewpoints and ways of conceiving the world. An attempt has been made to separate resources relating to traditional (pre-European) Māori culture from books about contemporary Māori culture. In the case of traditional Māori culture we are attempting to reconstruct a long-distant past, and in cases where there has been no research on a particular aspect of traditional Māori society the only way to obtain information is by sifting through the written record left by the earliest visitors and interpreting it in the light of the information in later Māori sources, a very time-consuming process. For instance, an investigation of traditional Māori attitudes to, say, clothing, would require an initial investigation of such indexes and bibliographies as exist (Index New Zealand, the University of Waikato Māori Bibliography, Taylor's Bibliography, the Journal of the Polynesian Society (JPS) and the Transactions and proceedings of the New Zealand Institute [TNZI] - see below for more details) and then a look at anthropological sources (Elsdon Best, Makereti), compendiums of traditional Māori knowledge such as Tikao talks and an investigation of travellers' and explorers' accounts (concentrating on those with indexes initially) for any references to kinds of clothing (eg korowai), probably under a more general heading such as clothing or the body. Investigation of modern Māori attitudes and beliefs is more straightforward. A number of books and articles have been written in recent years to explain Māori spiritual and cultural concepts and a selection is listed in this pamphlet. Three areas which have received particular attention in the last decade are resource management, health and education. Separate sections have been devoted to these issues. A number of traditional anthropological area studies have also been undertaken over the last decades (see Hohepa, Beaglehole, Metge and Ritchie) Other writers have investigated particular aspects of Māori culture such as the hui (see Salmond). There is not a lot of published material from opinion polls but the 1988 Royal Commission of Social Policy did undertake some interesting work in this area. (See under Contemporary Māori Society - General) Many of the sources referenced in this guide have been written by Pakeha and reflect Pakeha perspectives of Māori culture. 8.2 How to find books Searching VOYAGER Many of the books held in the University of Auckland Library can be found using VOYAGER, the on-line catalogue. An on-line tutorial is available at the first page of the Voyager catalogue, or else you can attend one of the Library workshops that covers Voyager search techniques. Sign-up for these on the first page of Library Website, under the Library Workshop Bookings link. See the Voyager guides available at each Library workstation for more information, or refer to the Voyager help information once you are in a Voyager search. You can locate information on Māori perspectives by typing the following phrases into the Main Search List tab on Voyager and selecting a Subject Heading search as illustrated below: maori new zealand people attitudes maori new zealand people religion maori new zealand people social life and customs maori new zealand people rites and ceremonies Alternatively, you can locate the same information using the Guided Keyword Search option as illustrated below: maori AND rites and ceremonies maori AND social life or customs maori AND attitudes maori AND religion Start with keyword searches and modify them in light of the subject headings you find on the records retrieved. Then make a subject search under these headings. 8.3 Finding Journal Articles Individual articles in journals and newspapers are not listed separately on VOYAGER, the on-line catalogue. You must search various special indexes or look at bibliographies in other published works on the subject. The sources listed below are the most useful for finding sources in this field. Index New Zealand 1. Look for recent journal and newspaper articles in Index New Zealand (INNZ). It is available throughout the University of Auckland library system on the Library Website network. It is updated regularly. 2. All searches are keyword searches which search all the words of the record unless the computer is instructed to search only one particular field. The question mark is the truncation symbol. 3. Try searches with maori attitudes e.g. maori attitudes health 4. Add the words book reviews to your search to locate book reviews. 5. Other words which can be added to maori attitudes are: nursing women sex? cannibalism education waitangi police counselling adoption discrimination psychology photography archaeology land crime leisure pregnancy language? mining prostitution mental illness water resources land resources disabled family environment religion racial discrimination law If you don’t get enough hits try leaving out the word attitudes. If you get too many hits add to your typed search: views perceptions values concepts beliefs customs Some items retrieved do not have the subject heading (or descriptor) attitudes. You may have to use all or some of the words listed above instead of the word attitudes. Subject headings used in Index New Zealand (INNZ) are listed in the APAIS thesarus [NZ & P Quick Reference 015.94 A93a] These may suggest other useful terms to search under. Index to New Zealand periodicals 1941-1986 The precursor of INNZ, the Index to New Zealand periodicals, indexes only journals, including the Māori Affairs Department publication, Te Ao hou. It covers the years 1941-1986 and is kept on the NZ & P Quick Reference shelves. Look under Maoris. University of Waikato Māori Bibliography This is a supplement to Index New Zealand (INNZ) and The Journal of the Polynesian Society. It indexes chapters from books and articles from journals not covered by Index New Zealand. Many are from periodicals that do not usually cover Māori topics. A range of books is covered, including some of the older standard texts. Subject headings generally reflect modern interests better than those in other indexes. Access the Māori Bibliography via the Library Websiteon the Māori Studies Subject Guides page from public workstations throughout the Library system. Bibliographies The book listed below is the most important general bibliography. Taylor, C.R.H. A bibliography of publications on the New Zealand Māori and the Moriori of the Chatham Islands. 1972. [NZ & P 016.995 T23] It covers books and journal articles published prior to 1970. It is classified by subject and includes sections on ethnology, physical and mental characteristics, tribal and community organization, family organization, birth and death customs, religion, magic and sorcery. Entries are not annotated and there is no access by iwi or region. Bibliographies in other books may also prove useful. Books with bibliographies can be found by adding the word bibliography to a guided keyword search on VOYAGER (e.g. maori education bibliography). You will have to view the record in full view to see the note about bibliographies on the screen (by clicking the full view button). Journal of the Polynesian Society & Transactions and Proceedings of the New Zealand Institute Nineteenth and early twentieth century articles on Māori topics were generally published in the Journal of the Polynesian Society (JPS) or the Transactions and proceedings of the New Zealand Institute (TNZI) which have their own indexes as well as being indexed by Taylor. The JPS continues to publish material in this field. Journal of the Polynesian Society. 1892- [NZ Glass Case 572.995 P78; Also some vols. in Short Loan Collection] Indexed to 1970 by Taylor bibliography (see previous) but also has its own centennial index for the years 1892-1992. The JPS has published a large number of articles on various facets of Māoritanga over the years. Contributors included Māori scholars from various iwi. Transactions and proceedings of the New Zealand Institute. 1868- [NZ & P 506 T77] Before the JPS was published this was the journal for scholarly articles about Māori. There are several indexes covering different periods which are shelved with the volumes. Subject approach is under the general heading "Papers - Anthropology and Philology". Also indexed by Taylor and Fletcher. 8.4 Key books and articles on Māori views and attitudes This section of the guide has been divided into two parts, dealing with contemporary and traditional Māori society. Naturally there is considerable overlap and in some cases it will be advisable to look at both sections. It gives a selection of the most important works only and must be considered as a starting point. To find more material search VOYAGER and Index New Zealand.
