[edit]Trying to avoid an edit war, but the information in the para that began: "Maori lore is replete the spiritual aspects of pounamu..." is implied to come from Pollard, but a search via Google Books[1] shows that it doesn't - and a more general Google search finds no reference to this eleswhere. Māori_music#Waiata ''Waiata'' for example is just the word for song or chant.
If I'm mistaken, (always possible), please insert refs to specific pages to confirm the source. - Snori (talk) 08:50, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
