'Maori Symbolism' is a story of a great race as told in their own
Sacred Legends. And it is even more than this. It is an accurate
record of the inner meaning of Life Symbolism on which the
civilization of the Dark-Whites all over the world is founded. That
symbolism stands for Cultivation - of the race, of the body and of
the land. The numerous illustrations are to be regarded as
documents supporting the evidence reported in the text. Some of
this is of startling interest, as for insurance that concerning the
casting of ancient statues and megaliths from molten lava. The
Sacred Legends concerning the origin and migration of the New
Zealand Maori are reported at some length, and the evidence given
throws fresh light on the important 'Diffusion' controversy. Maori
land cultivation is shown to have been far in advance of European.
Maori cultivation of the body, expressed in native dances, is
demonstrated to be an ordered system of physical education,
designed to improve and preserve the fittest.
