Songs and chants = Waiata -- Conclusion. 520 $a "Maori oral tradition is the rich, poetic record of the past handed down by voice over generations through whakapapa, whakatauki, korero and waiata. In genealogies and sayings, histories, stories and songs, Maori tell of 'te ao tawhito' or the old world: the gods, the migration of the Polynesian ancestors from Hawaiki and life here in Aotearoa. A voice from the past, today this remarkable record underpins the speeches, songs and prayers performed on marae and the teaching of tribal genealogies and histories. Indeed, the oral tradition underpins Maori culture itself. This book introduces readers to the distinctive oral style and language of the traditional compositions, acknowledges the skills of the composers of old and explores the meaning of their striking imagery and figurative language. And it shows how nga korero tuku iho - the inherited words - can be a deep well of knowledge about the way of life, wisdom and thinking of the Maori ancestors."--Publisher description. 650 0 $a Maori (New Zealand people) $v Folklore. 650 0 $a Oral tradition $z New Zealand. 650 0 $a Oral history $z New Zealand. 650 0 $a Maori language $x Rhetoric. 650 7 $a Whaikorero. $2 reo $0 (N.Z.)reo353 650 7 $a Korero. $2 reo $0 (N.Z.)reo54 650 7 $a Te Ao Tawhito. $2 reo $0 (N.Z.)reo4252 650 7 $a Korero nehe. $2 reo $0 (N.Z.)reo1119 650 7 $a Waiata. $2 reo $0 (N.Z.)reo354 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019020345.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6D06F7E8580511E8A8F83C5097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
