STUDYING MAORIS’ COOKING METHODS
DIPLOMACY NEEDED TRIBAL JEALOUSIES STIRRED Members of the anthropological section of the Auckland Institute recently planned a visit to a Maori settlement in the vicinity of the city. The purpose was to observe the natives cooking in the time-honoured earth ovens, and generally to note the domestic arrangements of the past. Several of the Maori tribal settlements, notably Tamaki, Orakei and Mangere, were only too anxious to have the visitors as their guests and show them how their ancestors prepared their foods. As the method of approaching the natives was not altogether diplomatic, however, matters are now at a standstill. Each tribe demands the honour. Old tribal jealousies have prevailed.
The solution of the difficulty may be that the Auckland scientists will have to visit each settlement in turn!
