This book takes you on a journey exploring the histories of the country's first Polynesian discoverers, its encounters with Europeans and the subsequent settling by Westerners. Particular attention will be paid to the Dutch explorer Abel Tasman and the Dutch immigration wave of the 1950s. Through a discussion of the meeting house and meeting grounds, the relationships Maori maintain to the land will be considered. The vital role of the Treaty of Waitangi (1840) and its present-day repercussions will be looked at. Finally the role of taonga or cultural treasures embodying the ancestral identity of a Maori kin group in relation to particular lands and resources will be explained. - Dit boek neemt de lezer mee op een reis langs de eerste Polynesische ontdekkers, hun ontmoetingen met de Europeanen en de daaropvolgende vestiging van Westerlingen. Bijzondere aandacht is er voor de ontdekkingsreiziger Abel Tasman en de stroom Nederlandse immigranten in de jaren '50. Aan de hand van hun ontmoetingshuizen en -plaatsen wordt de speciale relatie van de Maori met hun land geïllustreerd. De sleutelrol van het Verdrag van Waitangi (1840) met zijn hedendaagse uitwerking wordt beschouwd en tenslotte is er aandacht voor de rol van taonga, de cultuurschatten die de voorouderlijke identiteit belichamen van een Maorigeslacht in relatie tot hun land en hun middelen.

Professor Nicolas Peterson is a central figure in the anthropology of Aboriginal Australia. This volume honours his anthropological body of work, his commitment to ethnographic fieldwork as a source of knowledge, his exemplary mentorship of generations of younger scholars and his generosity in facilitating the progress of others. The diverse collection produced by former students, current colleagues and long-term peers provides reflections on his legacy as well as fresh anthropological insights from Australia and the wider Asia-Pacific region. Inspired by Nicolas Peterson's work in Aboriginal Australia and his broad ranging contributions to anthropology over several decades, the contributors to this volume celebrate the variety of his ethnographic interests. Individual chapters address, revisit, expand on, and ethnographically re-examine his work about ritual, material culture, the moral domestic economy, land and ecology. The volume also pays homage to Nicolas Peterson's ability to provide focused research with long-term impact, exemplified by a series of papers engaging with his work on demand sharing and the applied policy domain
