Linking Māori and Indian culture

I whakaputahia tēnei whakaahua ki te puka Who are the Maoris? (1912), e Alfred Newman. I whakapono a Newman i ahu mai te Māori i te taha raki o Īnia. E mea ana ngā kōrero tapiri, ‘Tirohia te ‘pōtae’, he rite ki ngā fez e mau ana ki Īnia’. Ki tētahi atu tirohanga, he wāhanga te ‘pōtae’ o te kātua o te rākau, i whakairohia ai te tānga nei.
