Ngāi TahuNgāi Tahu

English journalist Hugh Carrington wrote a history of Ngāi Tahu in the 1930s, drawing on the knowledge of Oaro elder Hariata Beaton-Morel and earlier scholars. This text has been framed and edited by Te Maire Tau and Atholl Anderson, creating a history of Ngāi Tahu's migration from the Wellington region through to Rakiura. Complementary traditions, in particular those recorded by Thomas Green, are also included. This remarkable account presents oral tradition alongside archaelogical evidence and narrative history. The editors both have extensive experience in researching the past of southern New Zealand, particularly Ngāi Tahu.
