FOLK * SONG 		  Turning Webpages into Books
  for our Mauhere  
Kiwi songs - Maori songs - Home

The NZFS waiata and moteatea webpages get visited a thousand times a a day by Maori all over the world — except by the 5000 mauhere in our 18 prisons, who have plenty of empty time locked in their cells, but cannot use the internet.

You can help our prisoners by going to a print shop and asking them to print and bind these PDFs. But it may be a lot cheaper to get your printing done at Printonline.co.nz. They do colour printing from 29 cents a page and B&W pages for 9 cents.

You can download the PDFs onto your computer, ready to upload to Printonline, by opening each one on your browser, then clicking the download symbol.   

After you get all the pages couriered back to you, put them together and take them to your local print shop for ring-binding with clear plastic rings and a clear plastic cover. You can then send these taonga kura to prison librarians, or to any of your whanau who don't have internet access.

I am printing a bound colour copy to keep in the library of the local prison, and a dozen unbound black & white copies that the mauhere/paihere there can cover, bind and keep.


PINEPINE TE KURA  

pinepine01-14color.pdf
pinepine_colorpics_cutandpaste.pdf

This is one page of colour images for you to cut out at home and brighten up pages 15-26.

And this is a PDF of the whole booklet.

Ask your local print shop for clear plastic rings and a clear plastic covers front and back.

Next you need a homemade CD with a nicely labelled cover.
Load all these tracks onto it.

1_pinepine
2_nau_mai_e_tama
3_piki_ake_kake_ake
4_whakakake
5_kaore_nei
And an MP3 for Te Kooti's Pinepine. You'll need to copy it off

You can figure out a way of making a sleeve for the CD at the end of the book.

   KA MATE
 - its origins,
  development
and significance

             Ka_Mate.pdf

This has a coloured cover page, plus a few lines of coloured text on about 10 pages. You may be able to get a discount for these at the print shop. If you can't, get them printed in black and white.


NGA MOTEATEA
 O NGA WAKA HEKENGA


         waka01-28color.pdf 

         waka29-39color.pdf

I haven't done the  sound files for these moteatea yet. I would be most grateful if someone did this job and emailed the mp3s to me.

Of course you can print off any other webpages on the NZFS website yourselves, then get the pages bound and sent to prison librarians, or staple them together and send with letters to your relatives in prison.

Please email me and let me know what webpage-books you have already sent, and to what prison. Also PLEASE email me if you spot any errors in any of these documents. Take a screen shot of the error.
