- Summary
- In the late nineteenth century, the leading tohunga Pita Kapiti, at Waiapu on the East Coast, dictated an account of the rituals surrounding the cultivation of kumara and hue (gourds) and the hunting of kiore (rats), kereru (pigeons) and kaka. He also recorded many karakia and accounts of ritual and tradition, particularly those relating to the ancestors of Ngati Parou. This publication of Pita Kapiti's teachings includes the Maori text in full, an English translation, an introduction and extensive annotations.
