Tikanga Whakaaro: Key Concepts in Maori Culture, Cleve Barlow's 1991 scholarly study from Oxford University Press, is by a Ngapuhi scholar of Maori studies, defining and discussing seventy key Maori concepts including tapu, mana and whakapapa with reference to tradition, custom, myth, ritual and present day understanding. Its strength is that it is squarely the tapu, mana and whakapapa claim this source is cited for, from a scholar writing within his own tradition. Its limit is that it does not itself cover mission history or Treaty translation material appearing in the same article; that material needs its own dedicated source.
