Something that would not have been available to him in a "traditional" (maori) setting . He has adapted to current societal norms - and so should the people he is excusing . Apologies, Johcar . I can see that now . |

| 1205492 | 2011-05-30 01:06:00 | It must be extremely galling for Maori to have to rely on the English language and early European historians to have any idea of what they got up to in pre European times . So this is why they re-write history to suit what they think should have happened . "Elsdon Best was New Zealand’s foremost writer on pre-European Māori life . His books are a uniquely valuable record of traditional Māori culture, social customs and beliefs . Without him, we would know little of the customs and traditions of these times .
