  • Portrayals of the Moriori People
    Copyright is owned by the Author of the thesis. Permission is given for a copy to be downloaded by an individual for the purpose of research and private study only. The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. i Portrayals of the Moriori People Historical, Ethnographical, Anthropological and Popular sources, c. 1791- 1989 By Read Wheeler A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History, Massey University, 2016 ii Abstract Michael King’s 1989 book, Moriori: A People Rediscovered, still stands as the definitive work on the Moriori, the Native people of the Chatham Islands. King wrote, ‘Nobody in New Zealand – and few elsewhere in the world- has been subjected to group slander as intense and as damaging as that heaped upon the Moriori.’ Since its publication, historians have denigrated earlier works dealing with the Moriori, arguing that the way in which they portrayed Moriori was almost entirely unfavourable. This thesis tests this conclusion. It explores the perspectives of European visitors to the Chatham Islands from 1791 to 1989, when King published Moriori. It does this through an examination of newspapers, Native Land Court minutes, and the writings of missionaries, settlers, and ethnographers. The thesis asks whether or not historians have been selective in their approach to the sources, or if, perhaps, they have ignored the intricacies that may have informed the views of early observers. The thesis argues that during the nineteenth century both Maori and European perspectives influenced the way in which Moriori were portrayed in European narrative.

    DEPA IN CONFIDENCE Digital Economy Partnership Agreement (DEPA) Non-Paper from New Zealand: The Treaty of Waitangi August 2019 Text for DEPA: Treaty of Waitangi 1. Provided that such measures are not used as a means of arbitrary or unjustified discrimination against persons of the other Parties or as a disguised restriction on trade in goods, trade in services and investment, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the adoption by New Zealand of measures it deems necessary to accord more favourable treatment to Maori in respect of matters covered by this Agreement, including in fulfilment of its obligations under the Treaty of Waitangi. 2. The Parties agree that the interpretation of the Treaty of Waitangi, including as to the nature of the rights and obligations arising under it, shall not be subject to the dispute settlement provisions of this Agreement. [Cross reference TBC] shall otherwise apply to this Article. A panel established under [Cross reference TBC] may be requested to determine only whether any measure referred to in paragraph 1 is inconsistent with a Party’s rights under this Agreement. Note that the text used for DEPA is the same as text in the P4, CPTPP and Singapore- New Zealand FTA but would be updated if no dispute settlement provisions. Summary The Treaty of Waitangi (the Treaty) is a founding document of New Zealand of the greatest constitutional importance. The Treaty provides a framework for the ongoing relationship of partnership between the Crown (represented by the Government of New Zealand) and Māori, the indigenous people of New Zealand. As part of the principle of partnership between the two signatories of the Treaty, it is important that recognition be given to the special place of the Treaty in New Zealand.

  • Te Tiriti, Te Wai and Changing Pākehā
    NOBODY OWNS WATER: TE TIRITI, TE WAI AND CHANGING PĀKEHĀ by James Graham A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Environmental Studies Victoria University of Wellington 2015 Within the harbour, a white obelisk commemorating the ferocious battle between the Europeans and the Filipinos offers two sharply varying accounts of those events. One face presents the European point of view: ‘Here on 27th April 1521 the great Portuguese navigator Hernanado de Magallances in the service of the King of Spain was slain by native Filipinos.’ Another face portrays the conflict from the Filipino perspective: ‘Here on this spot the great chieftain Lapu repelled an attack by Ferdinand Magellan, killing him and sending his forces away.’ (Bergreen, 2003, p. 283) i Abstract Colonisation has been described as being at least in part about securing and controlling natural resources and the history of relationships between indigenous people and subsequent settlers as largely representing a battle for control over those resources (Kahn, 1999). A current example is the contest between Māori and the Crown over access to and control over fresh water resources in Aotearoa/New Zealand, part of a wider assertion of Māori rights under the Treaty of Waitangi (Ruru, 2012; Mikaere, 1997; Wikaira 2010). The Ministry for the Environment reports that Māori assertions of water ownership should be addressed before any changes to water management can occur (Ministry for the Environment, 2005). Pākehā responses to Māori interests in water are critical to future outcomes for both Pākehā and Māori.

The principles, as articulated in this Statute, enable Victoria University of Wellington to realise opportunities under Te Tiriti o Waitangi/Treaty of Waitangi to further advance the University and contribute to the betterment of New Zealand society. 2. Application of Statute a) This Statute applies to staff members, students, and Council members of the University. Statute Content 3.

  • The Public Realm of Central Christchurch Narrative
    THE PUBLIC REALM OF CENTRAL CHRISTCHURCH NARRATIVE Written by Debbie Tikao, Landscape Architect and General Manager of the Matapopore Charitable Trust. Kia atawhai ki te iwi – Care for the people Pita Te Hori, Upoko – Ngāi Tūāhuriri Rūnanga, 1861 The Public Realm of Central Christchurch Narrative 1 2 CERA Grand Narratives INTRODUCTION This historical narrative weaves together Ngāi Tahu cultural values, stories and traditional knowledge associated with Ōtautahi (Christchurch) and the highly mobile existence of hapū and whānau groups within the Canterbury area and the wider landscape of Te Waipounamu (South Island). The focus of this historical narrative therefore is on this mobile way of life and the depth of knowledge of the natural environment and natural phenomena that was needed to navigate the length and breadth of the diverse and extreme landscape of Te Waipounamu. The story that will unfold is not one of specific sites or specific areas, but rather a story of passage and the detailed cognitive maps that evolved over time through successive generations, which wove together spiritual, genealogical, historical and physical information that bound people to place and provided knowledge of landscape features, mahinga kai and resting places along the multitude of trails that established the basis for an economy based on trade and kinship. This knowledge system has been referred to in other places as an oral map or a memory map, which are both good descriptions; however, here it is referred to as a cognitive map in an attempt to capture the multiple layers of ordered and integrated information it contains. This historical narrative has been written to guide the design of the public realm of the Christchurch central business area, including the public spaces within the East and South frames.

  • Tangihanga: the Ultimate Form of Māori Cultural Expression— Overview of a Research Programme
    Tangihanga: The Ultimate Form of Māori Cultural Expression— Overview of a Research Programme Linda Waimarie Nīkora, Ngāhuia Te Awekōtuku, Mohi Rua, Pou Temara, Te Kahautu Maxwell, Enoka Murphy, Karyn McRae and Tess Moeke-Maxwell Tangi Research Programme, The University of Waikato Abstract Death, observed through the process of tangihanga (time set aside to grieve and mourn, rites for the dead) or tangi (to grieve and mourn), is the ultimate form of Māori cultural expression. It is also the topic least studied by Māori or understood by outsiders, even after televised funeral rites of Māori leaders and intrusive media engagements with more humble family crises. It has prevailed as a cultural priority since earliest European contact, despite missionary and colonial impact and interference, and macabre Victorian fascination. Change is speculative rather than confirmed. Tangi and death rituals have yet to be rigorously examined in the Māori oral canon, or in the archival and historic record that may be discarded or reinforced by current practice. As researchers we are committed to studying tangi, conscious of the belief that such work carries the inherent risk of karanga aituā (inviting misfortune or even death itself) by drawing attention to it. Contemporary Aotearoa New Zealand is constantly touched by aspects of tangi practice through popular media and personal exposure. This volatile subject nevertheless demands careful and comprehensive scrutiny in order to extend and enrich the knowledge base, reveal the logic that guides ritual, inform the wider New Zealand community and, more importantly, support the cultural, social, ritual, economic and decision- making processes of bereaved whānau (family, including extended family), people affiliated with marae (communal meeting complex) and iwi (tribe, tribal).

  • Māori Symbolism - the Enacted Marae Curriculum
    Māori symbolism - the enacted marae curriculum Jamie Lambert Te Awem āpara, Ng āti Hinekura, Te M āhurehure familial connections Te W ānanga o Aotearoa, Te Awamutu, New Zealand [email protected] Symbolism and other metaphoric representations of aspects of M āori (Indigenous peoples of Aotearoa/New Zealand) culture such as whaik ōrero (formal speaking), moemoe ā (dreams), and whakatauk ī (proverbial sayings) has existed with M āori for generations. This paper examines M āori symbolism and its importance in M āori culture more specifically the maintenance, sustenance and transmission of our indigenous knowledge systems for generations to come. Traditional use of symbols is also explored through the contextual application of the marae (traditional M āori living complex) and how symbols exist in various parts of the marae. The enacted curriculum is also investigated looking at specific examples of how these symbols can enact both non-Māori and M āori formal curriculum areas. Symbolism Symbolism as a part of an expressive culture operates on a number of levels and across a range of frequencies according to your perceptions and having deeper understandings of what is truly represented. These symbols appear as images, words, behaviours and actions function in different spaces and places with differing meanings. This depends heavily on context, that is they are culturally and contextually relevant. Much of the value is encoded in metaphor. Symbols stand for concepts that are often too complex to be stated directly in words (Womack, 2005). Furthermore, Womack cites social anthropologist Raymond Firth (Ibid) who writes “it is assumed that symbols communicate meanings at levels of reality not accessible through immediate experience or conceptual thought.
