Much of the star lore of the Māori has, through the wisdom of the elders, been preserved in the original story form, almost intact.  Work of the Gods places in print for the first time a comprehensive analysis of the astronomical knowledge of the Māori and the ways it was used from the point of view of elders of the nineteenth century.  The authors take us in the realm of Te Kore, to the origin of all matter.
