This book offers Pakeha New Zealanders an insight into Maori thought and values and the basis for the sort of understanding and partnership that should exist between Pakeha and Maori. Indeed, it also presents a new perspective from which long-held Pakeha values can be reassessed.
Topics include Maori environmental values, values in the proverbs and myths, Maori virtues, reciprocity and balance, and Maori concepts of collective responsibility.
