MAORI CLUB
EARLY HISTORY OF NEW
ZEALAND
An interesting programme, mainly of Maori interest, was given at the monthly social gathering of the Wellington Maori' Club on Monday. The president (Mr. W. Bird) was in the chair.
The guests of honour were a group of young Maori people from Lower Hutt, ,who contributed songs and dances. Their performance was of particular interest in that they were taught and led by Mrs. W. H. Love, who has done much to create social interests among the Maoris at Lower Hutt.
Mr. N. A. Foden spoke at some length upon the early history of the Dominion, particularly of the years 1822 to 1838. He dealt with his subject in an interesting way and largely in reference to the work done by Mr. Busby, the first British resident, who was given a job and no power to enforce his authority. Mr. Foden was sincerely thanked for his able address, which showed evidence of considerable research.
Mr. H. M. Christie gave a most interesting talk on old Maori middens or rubbish heaps, and the discoveries to be made on them.
