Review

'How did our forebears succeed in creating a bountiful array of musical instruments using stone tools and natural materials? This book answers that question in fine detail and also reveals how our present generation is reviving indigenous culture and language, thereby sustaining our brightly burning fires.' —Huata Holmes (Kitahu, Kti Mamoe, Waitaha, Hwea a Rapuwai ano)
