Anthropos journal edit

Who has access to these ANTHROPOS journals??? They contain, in french, probably everything what is known on earth about the Tongan Maui. Or alternatively translated into English in: FOLKLORE??? Or originally in Tongan in the MAKASINI and FAFANGU???

  • Anthropos vol XII-XIII, 1026-1046 (1917, 1918)
  • P. Reifer, Anthropos vol XIV-XV, 125-142, (1919, 1920)
  • E.E.V Collocott, Folk-lore vol XXXII, 45-58 (1921)
  • Ko e makasini a koliji vol 4 & 5 (1881, 1883, 1885)
  • Taufapulotu, Ko e fafagu vol 5 (1907) --Tauʻolunga 09:26, 1 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
Auckland University Library has Anthropos. Are those the correct volumes and page numbers for Anthropos - do the articles span the volumes??? You may be able to write or email the library and see if they will send you photocopies, but if it's in French that may not be much help. Folklore journal is available on the internet in the JSTOR collection - accessible via certain Universities. Someone else might have direct access if they are currently enrolled at a University or research institution. Let me know if you cannot get that, I might be able to ask a friend to get it for me Kahuroa 10:05, 1 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
Double checked... correct. Je peux lire français. Still English is easier. I can ask ʻOkusitino Māhina (ARTS ANT A.U.) for help. --Tauʻolunga 21:57, 1 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
ʻOkusitino est un bon type. J'en suis sur qu'il t'aidera. Kahuroa 12:05, 2 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Merge? edit

Any thoughts on merging with all the other cultural articles on Maui? I think together they can all make a really good article on Maui, giving he is one of the few characters found throughout all Polynesia. This info would then become a section of the larger one, but I feel it would defiantly create an excellent and informative article on a pan-Polynesian character.
