Editor's Note:
The Beating Heart details the determined efforts since the 1830s of Te Arawa tribes to work with the Crown and settlers to pursue a mutually advantageous relationship under the Treaty while at the same time maintaining their autonomy, culture, and control over their land and resources.While the ultimate outcomes were often calamitous for Te Arawa, the underlying theme of this book is highly positive. The tribes never ceased to struggle for a genuinely bicultural future. The book tells the story of the survival and resurgence of a dynamic people under circumstances that were often extreme and, as such, reflects the experiences of many other tribes in New Zealand today.Although a number of well-known tribal histories have previously been published, the Beating Heart is one of the first that spring from the statutory process established during the 1970s and 1980s to examine Maori grievances against the new Zealand Crown, many of which go back to the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840. this book examines the events that gave rise to many breaches of the Treaty by the Crown that impacted on Te Arawa, the reaction of Te Arawa and the out look for a positive future.
