Mana Ma¯ori, the Power of New Zealand’s First Inhabitants is a book made to accompany an exhibition of the same name held at the National Museum of Ethnology in Leiden, the Netherlands, from 16 October 2010 until 1 May 2011. The book pays attention to the Ma¯ori people, New Zealand’s indigenous population, as well as to the centuries-old relationship between the Netherlands and New Zealand. It is the first time that an exhibition of this importance is held in the Netherlands on the subject. Moreover the Dutchlanguage publication will be the first of its kind aimed at a Dutch public. The book, also gives useful background information to accompany both Ma¯ori canoes (waka) that the museum receives as a permanent loan from October 2010 onwards.
