That project left me wondering about the impact of soldiers who fought in the Anglo-Boer War and later served as prison guards and police in New Zealand. My supervisors at the Victoria University of Wellington, Richard Hill and James Belich, allowed me to turn this vague idea into a much richer, deeper narrative, and I am indebted to the suggestions and criticisms they have offered over the course of my research, which I feel is really an elaboration on one of the many themes in Dr.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. TE WAIRUA KŌMINGOMINGO O TE MĀORI THE SPIRITUAL WHIRLWIND OF THE MĀORI A thesis presented for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in Māori Studies Massey University Palmerston North, New Zealand Te Waaka Melbourne 2011 Abstract This thesis examines Māori spirituality reflected in the customary words Te Wairua Kōmingomingo o te Maori. Within these words Te Wairua Kōmingomingo o te Māori; the past and present creates the dialogue sources of Māori understandings of its spirituality formed as it were to the intellect of Māori land, language, and the universe. This is especially exemplified within the confinements of the marae, a place to create new ongoing spiritual synergies and evolving dialogues for Māori. The marae is the basis for meaningful cultural epistemological tikanga Māori customs and traditions which is revered. Marae throughout Aotearoa is of course the preservation of the cultural and intellectual rights of what Māori hold as mana (prestige), tapu (sacred), ihi (essence) and wehi (respect) – their tino rangatiratanga (sovereignty). This thesis therefore argues that while Christianity has taken a strong hold on Māori spirituality in the circumstances we find ourselves, never-the-less, the customary, and traditional sources of the marae continue to breath life into Māori. This thesis also points to the arrival of the Church Missionary Society which impacted greatly on Māori society and accelerated the advancement of colonisation.

  • James Cowan : the Significance of His Journalism Vol. 1
    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. James Cowan: The Significance of his Journalism Volume One A thesis presented in three volumes in fulfilment of the requirement for the award of Doctor of Philosophy at Massey University, New Zealand. Volume 1: Thesis Volume 2: Recovered Texts Volume 3: ‘The White Slave’ Critical Edition GREGORY WOOD 2019 1 Abstract This thesis argues that to understand Cowan the historian, his interest in history and his way of writing history, one must return to the roots of his writing – his journalism. Cowan’s adroit penmanship meant that his history writing existed in close parallel to his journalism. His writing style varied little between the two areas, which meant that he reached a wide group of readers regardless of their reading level or tastes. His favourite topics included travel writing and recent history, that is, history in his lifetime. For a better understanding of how and why he wrote, some key aspects of his life and career have been selected for study. These aspects include his childhood, his early journalism as a reporter for the Auckland Star, and his later journalism for Railways Magazine. Finally, his legacy is considered from the viewpoint of his colleagues and contemporaries. Cowan the journalist was the making of Cowan the historian, and to better understand the strengths of his histories one must appreciate his journalistic background.

CONTENTS Prefatory Comments 1 Introduction 2 - Native Land Court Judges as Civil Servants 3 The Background of the Nineteenth-Century Judges 7 - Conclusion 24 Terms of Appointment 26 - The Native/Maori Land Court 26 - The General Courts 29 - Salaries 29 - Pluralism in Appointments 30 - Conclusion 34 The Dismissals of Judges Mair, Puckey and Wilson 36 Some Issues for Further Research 40 Bibliography 42 Appendix 1: Direction Commissioning Research 43 PREFATORY COMMENTS This report is prepared in response to a direction from the Chairperson of the Waitangi Tribunal, WAI 64 Document 3.8, dated 18 November 1994. As directed, the report addresses four main issues with specific reference to the nineteenth-century judges of the Native Land Court: their professional qualifications and the extent to which they had legal training; their relationship to the civil service of the day; whether they had been recruited from the civil service and whether they returned to it after serving on the Native Land Court bench; the terms of their appointments as Native Land Court judges; the circumstances of the dismissals in 1891 of Judges Mair, Puckey and Wilson. The time frame of 40 hours allowed in the commission did not permit an extensive biography of each judge, nor an examination of the details of the political and social climate in New Zealand as it developed throughout the last third of the nineteenth century, so the discussion will neces~arily be closely circumscribed and lacking in contextual information.

Cover: Alexandra Redoubt, near Tuakau, was established by British troops the day after General Cameron crossed the Mangatawhiri River on 12 July 1863 at the start of the Waikato War. The earthwork fortification was located to secure the right flank of the invasion route and to protect military transport to the front on the Waikato River 100 m below. The outstanding preservation is a result of the redoubt now being within an historic reserve and cemetery. See Section 3.10 in the report. Photo: Nigel Prickett, April 1992.
