Becoming Tangata Tiriti brings together twelve non-Maori voices – dedicated professionals, activists and everyday individuals – who have engaged with te ao Maori and have attempted to bring te Tiriti to life in their work. In stories of missteps, hard-earned victories and journeys through the complexities of cross-cultural relationships, Becoming Tangata Tiriti is a book of lessons learned.Sociologist Avril Bell analyses the complicated journey of today’ s partners of te Tiriti o Waitangi, and asks: Who are we as tangata tiriti? How do we identify in relation to Maori? What are our responsibilities to te Tiriti? What do we do when we inevitably stumble along the way?With words by champions in their fields, including Meng Foon, Andrew Judd and others, this concise paperback acts as a guide for those just beginning their journey towards a Tiriti-based society – and is a sound refresher for others well along the path.

In the period from 1820 to 1920, more than 60 prophets arose in New Zealand leading distinctive movements in response to the message brought by Christian missionaries. Although many served as vehicles for social protest, these movements were primarily attempts to affirm spiritual and racial identity in the face of rapid cultural change.Mana From Heaven records the evolution of Maori spirituality from early contact, particularly considering the influence of the translated scriptures, and showing how and why the movements differed in distinct periods.Regarded as the definitive work in its field, the book analyses the principal influences in Maori religious movements during the first century of European settlement and gives vivid portrayals of the dozens of individuals who shaped the responses to the new beliefs. ‘A fascinating publication recording a kaleidoscope of Maori responses to the missionary’ – Otago Daily Times’An important book by a remarkable woman’ – Dominion Sunday-Times’Its comprehensiveness is unlikely to be surpassed’ – New Zealand Journal of History
