Ngā mōteatea covers

Ngā mōteatea is a collection of four books of traditional waiata (songs) in Māori and English. The original Ngā mōteatea was an annotated set of waiata collected by Apirana Ngata. Both the waiata and the explanations in the more recent publications are in both languages. The first three volumes include translations by Pei Te Hurinui Jones, while the final volume has translations and additional annotations provided by Hirini Moko Mead.
