In Nga Taonga Tarkaro, Harko Brown writes about the revival of more than 20 ancient games and sports of the Maori - including poi, stick games, kites, ball games, memory games, board games, and many more.  He traces the history and legend behind each game, and gives clear instructions on how to play, the rules of the game, and how to create the equipment used.  The games are illustrated with action colour photographs throughout, to enhance readers' understanding of these indigenous sports.
