Looks at the origins and development of Maori canoes, the different types, the spiritual significances, their central role in Maori society and how this role changed with European contact. It describes waka racing in pre- and post-European times, explains how waka were manned, paddled, sailed and navigated around the New Zealand coastline, on rivers such as the Waikato and Wanganui and in the Chatham Islands."--Back cover.
