This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1882 edition. Excerpt: ... every Maori tribe and family invoked independently each its own tribal and family ancestors, just as was the practice of the Greeks and Latins. CHAPTER II.

The common worship of these primitive Atua constituted the National religion of the Maori. 2. In addition to this the Maori had a religious worship peculiar to each tribe and to each family, in forms of...
