		Best, who about this time had left the country for a storeman's job in Wellington, contributed an article to the first number, somewhat curiously a study of the Filipinos.

		Furthermore, it is clear from Metge's discussion that an earlier dialectic between judicial and ethnographic reifications of tradition, perhaps most clearly seen in the work of Elsdon Best, is also a feature of the contemporary scene.

		As secretary for a commission charged with determining titles for Tuhoe land at the turn of the century, Best participated in an objectification and authorisation of Tuhoe historical tradition, and he reproduced this judicial vantage point in his subsequent writings (Sissons 1991:19-21).
