Rua and the Maori Millennium PETER WEBSTER

Senior Lecturer in Anthropology. Vutorm I 'rurer.Mty of Wellington

For most people, if the name Rua means anything at all. it will call to mind a faintly sinister Maori prophet whose millennial cult at Maungapohatu became significant as a result of the police raid of 1916 Run and the \1nori Millennium changes all that.

Dr Webster combines a deep sympathy for the Maori viewpoint (free of idealisation) with an intimate knowledge of the Tuhoe tribe and the Urewera. to present the first convincing account of Rua's emergence and development as a prophet A genuine understanding of T e Kooti is only one of the many by-products

T h e book is a major contribution to the anthropological and psychological study of millenarianism As a case study it is especially illuminating, but it is even more important as a contribution to the evolving historical reassessment of Maori-Pakeha

relations, of interest to all who want a deeper insight into how a distinctive New Zealand society was formed

Besides which, Rua and the Maori Millennium is simply compelling reading.
