Book excerpt: "Sir Apirana Ngata and Sir Peter Buck (Te Rangi Hiroa) wrote frequently and often very long letters to each other for many years. Ngata was a Member of Parliament and for some years a cabinet minister. Buck was a doctor who became an anthropologist and eventually Director of the B.P. Bishop Museum in Honolulu. Their letters, besides being a personal record of their lives, comment on public events and on the development of anthropology in the Pacific. The two were deeply Māori, always aware of their differences form the Pakeha world in spite of their success within it, and their reflections on Māori culture and Māori affairs remain topical in the very different climate of today. The letters are published in three volumes, of which this is the last."--Back cover.
