This unusual and important book is in the first place a richly
illustrated history of an innovative educational programme,
developed by Arnold Wilson, that began in the 1970s in Northland
and which brought schools and communities onto the marae and
involved them in making art. Essentially students were encouraged
to tell traditional stories through dancing, singing, drama,
carving, painting. The programme was hugely successful both as art
education and as away of developing self esteem and a sense of
identity and shared values. But it was abolished in 1988 with the
changes encompassed in Tomorrow's Schools. The book is therefore
also intended to open up discussion for the future about Maori
education, the teaching of art, race relations, indeed a whole
range of major contemporary issues. It is well written and moving
and though not a conventional academic study it will work
brilliantly in achieving its purpose.
