Summary

A century ago New Zealand Maori were called a dying race, doomed to extinction. However, Maori defied these predictions, reversing this decline through imaginative, wide-ranging action. May the People Live also includes a brief survey of traditional Maori medicine, the Maori holistic view of bodily and spiritual wellbeing, and the course of Maori health after European contact.

Author Biography
