Menasha Ridge Press :: Travel :: Quest for Kaitiakitanga

Quest for Kaitiakitanga

Kaitiakitanga, an ancient Maori concept meaning "guardianship of the land," has undergone a revival in New Zealand and is fueling an increasingly popular eco-movement. Structured by Richard Bangs as a grand adventure, this book looks at how the Maori way is becoming the modern way. Bangs' expedition includes heli-hiking, ice-climbing, kayaking, and more as he travels through New Zealand's stunning landscapes. Along the way, the author encounters threatened wildlife, massive trees that predate Christ, monumental glaciers, and the kinds of advances fostered by Kaitiakitanga, from radically designed eco-lodges to paradigm-shifting native ventures.

The author pulls you in with detailed accounts of his travels. Quest for Kaitiakitanga is an eco-conscious adventure tale. It encourages the reader to consider the ecological state of the world today, and to respond in a conscious effort to reverse the damage that has been done. This book is perfect for any travel lover. So grab a copy and curl up in your favorite spot to let the adventures begin.
