'In waiata our ancestors spoke their hearts - in grief and in celebration. For many hundreds of years this oral tradition of song flourished in Aotearoa. During the second half of the last century, in times of rapid change, Maori scholars recorded for the future the words of thousands of waiata. Their manuscripts were preserved by Pakeha of foresight and commitment, and along with a vast body of other Maori writing they are now accessible in libraries throughout the country. Margaret Orbell has been working with these manuscripts for 25 years. She has come to occupy a special place in Maori scholarship, havi ancient texts. In this new anthology shng brought to light and translated many places waiata of the nineteenth century in their social and political setting, conveying the poet's responses to their people's trauma.'.
