Discussion Question: Discussion topic on Patricia Grace's Dogside Story

As we discussed on the first day of covering this book, it's unlike many of the books we've read so far. And yet, there are many common threads as well. How do you think this book connects with the other works we've read or seen?

Maori language resources

As the Maori language figures prominently in the last couple of books we've read, I thought some of these resources might be of help.

• The homepage of the Maori Language Commission (lots of good info on this site)
• The Wikipedia's entry on the Maori language
• Some common Maori words and phrases
• A Maori subject guide from the University of Otago library
• The online Ngata English to Maori/Maori to English dictionary
• An online English and Maori Word Translator
