He Korero Purakau mo : Nga Taunahanahatanga a Nga Tupuna = Place names of the ancestors : A Maori Oral History Atlas

New Zealand Geographic Board

Notes
This book had its origins in the concern of the New Zealand Geographic Board, the body responsible for the place names of New Zealand, to ensure that Maori place names of the country are properly recorded and understood in an appropriate cultural context. This book relates specific place names to the exploits of early Maori discoverers, explorers and travellers. Its smaller companion, Place Names of the Maori, provides a framework within which Maori place names can be grouped according to types of names.
