time has come for the Maori to use one of his new nets to fish up ideas from international waters.

SUGGESTED READING 1. Dutton, Bertha P. (Ed.), 1965. Indians of the Southwest (Pocket Handbook). Santa Fe, Southwestern Association on Indian Affairs, Inc. An easy-to-read reference book and essential reading for any visitor to the Southwest. The handbook provides information on the past and the present of the Indians, on their arts and crafts and on their ceremonies and dances. 2. Roediger, Virginia M., 1961. Ceremonial Costumes of the Pueblo Indians. Berkeley, University of California Press. The author deals very fully with the ceremonial costumes used in such dances as the tablita, buffalo, eagle, eagle katchina, deer and many others. The book is well illustrated. 3. Squires, John L. and Robert E. McLean, 1963. American Indian Dances. New York, Ronald Press Company. Dances are described and the steps and movements are illustrated. The second author is an undisputed authority and an exponent of Indian dancing. 4. Underhill, Ruth, 1953. Red Man's America: A History of Indians in the United States. Chicago, University of Chicago Press. Chapters 8 and 9 deal specifically with the Southwest and describe the history of the Mogollon, Hohokam, Pueblo, Pimians, Navaho and Apache. 5. Watson, Don, 1961. Indians of the Mesa Verde. Colorado Mesa Verde Museum Association and Mesa Verde National Park. The book is concerned with the pro-history of the Indians who used to inhabit the spectacular cliff houses at Mesa Verde, Colorado. The book is easy to read and the story is fascinating. 6. White, Leslie, A., 1962. The Pueblo of Sia, New Mexico (Bureau of American Ethnology Bulletin 184). Washington, Government Printing Office. The book provides a detailed description of the people of Sia, whose pueblo we visited. It deals with the social organisation, religion and ceremonials of the people and contains a description of the tablita dance. The author is a well-known anthropologist. 7. Wormington, H. M., 1964. Prehistoric Indians of the Southwest. Denver, Denver Museum of Natural History. This book is recommended for readers interested in the archaeology of the area. There are, of course, many other books, pamphlets and articles published in journals which one could read. The literature on the Southwest is vast and extensive. What is listed here provides merely a good starting point.

Centennial of Rapaki Church Celebrations beginning with mihi on Saturday, 3 May, and concluding with tea on Sunday, 4 May, will be held to mark the centennial of the Rapaki Church, near Lyttelton. All Maori and Pakeha friends are welcome to attend.

Continued from page 63 Ana', ‘Ere e Poi’, ‘Ringa Ipuia’, and none of the individual items are described. This seems indicative of a shoddy approach to the whole venture. Clubs must supply record companies with accurate spellings and descriptions of their items if they want the record in all its aspects to reflect credit on themselves.
