CONVENORS ANNUAL REPORT 2011: Tēnā koe i ō tātou mate tārūrū nui kua poto atu nei ki te kāpunipunitanga o nga wairua I Paerau. Heoi rā, ki ngā mate, waiho i runga i te kōrero rā, ko te hunga mate ki te hunga mate, ko tātou ngā ka- nohi ora o rātou ki a tātou, tihē mauri ora! Greetings to you and our dead, whose loss greatly pains us, and who have departed for the assembly of spirits in the home- land. For the dead, let the adage speak: the dead have passed on and we, their living representatives, remain. Behold, the breath of life. We acknowledge amongst our leaders and people the passing of Te Ariki Whatu- moana Paki and pay homage to his family as he leaves us for reunification with his wife (the late Te Arikinui Dame Te Atairangikaahu) and his tupuna who have passed over, moe mai, moe mai, moe mai ra. This year has seen a growth of memberships and opportunities for the Māori Interest Group, a large number of meetings and workshops throughout the motu have kept us actively engaged. Appreciation to Brenda Joyce for her diligence and perseverance and keeping us all on track with advice and updates and all those treasures that cross over her threshold via emails and letters. Appreciation also to Celia and Lorraine and to Bruce across that great sea of the Tas- man and our departing spirits from Te Rerenga Wairua to your support as a team and finally to our members for their faith, tikanga and whanaungatanga in being part of a great team of researchers of Tangata Whenua Māori and European Pakeha whaka- papa and genealogy. We have grown in leaps and bounds with new marketing ideas and creative workshops to recognition by the executive committee of NZSG of the Māori Interest Group’s work with Māori and Pakeha genealogical pursuits. We sit in a very strong position as the Māori Interest Group, as the body representing the indigenous values of the Tangata Whenua in whakapapa research. Ki te kahore he whakakitenga ka ngaro te iwi, without foresight or vision the people will be lost. (Continued on page 5) TE REO PAGE 5 (Continued from page 4) Keeping in mind that we have three strings to our bow: 1. European New Zealand seeking their Māori connections in ancestry 2. Māori New Zealand seeking their European connections in ancestry 3. Māori seeking their Māori identity of whanau, marae, hapu and iwi. May we all grow stronger and work with each other in harmony and peace as we pro- gress this pathway of life, that genealogical and whakapapa doors will open to us, that those elusive ancestors will come forth in order to be found. He waka eke noa, a canoe which we are all in with no exception Ngā mihi nui o te Kirihimete me te Tau Hou, a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year Nō reira , noho ora mai rā Nāku noa, nā Owen Ormsby Convenor Māori Interest Group NZSG Inc November 2011 Post Script: In driving to work on Wednesday this week I passed my great grandmother Ngahooro Paki on a school bus heading into Auckland. I thought to myself I must be dreaming, ‘granny has been long gone’ I caught up with the school bus and granny was having a good time travelling along in style. She was looking out over all from the banner of the Family History Fair in Hamilton at- tached to the side of the bus. I wonder if great granny realised that she was joy rid- ing!!!!!!! Sharing our ancestors with the greater community, is this our new phrase???? EDITOR’S MESSAGE: Kia ora, With Christmas fast approaching and the New Year looming, this will be our last newsletter for 2011—honestly where has the year gone!? The group has had a busy and productive year, we have been represented at several Family History events and our stands con- tinue to impress with our professional displays and banners. The group has again been invited by the Thames branch of the NZSG [http:// (Continued on page 6) PAGE 6 TE REO (Continued from page 5) www.genealogy.org.nz/Thames_101.aspx] to attend the Thames Biennial Family History Research Expo 2012 [http://www.thecoromandel.com/ events_coromandel_autumn.html] March next year and Owen, Celia, Brenda and Lorraine all hope to be able to attend this event. It is understood that the Expo will run on a similar format as in previous years and there will also be vintage cars run- ning to take visitors to The Treasury [http://www.thetreasury.org.nz/] which is a purpose-built research facility in Thames. With this in mind, the group has now invested in a smart uniform – the Committee will be dressed in Black Polo Shirts with the MIG logo embroidered on the top left chest. This will give our Committee a striking appearance and continuity. The Group’s funds are not paying for these shirts. Committee members liked the idea so much that they wanted them for themselves and some have ordered several shirts. These shirts will also be available for purchase by our members (further details are elsewhere in this issue and on our website or contact Brenda Mā[email protected]). The Committee have promised me some photos in their new attire at the Thames Expo next year, so don’t forget to check them out on our website after March. Also a reminder that the 2011 AGM ratified a slight change to our membership struc- ture in that a small annual membership fee of $5.00 has been reinstated for non insti- tutional members, this can be paid by cash, cheque or 8 Kiwi postage stamps. This will take effect immediately for new members joining the Interest Group, while existing members will have their first membership fee fall due on the 1st April 2012. All MIG members must be financial members of the NZSG. We hope the reintroduction of a small membership fee will not cause too much inconvenience and will enable us to purchase more resources for our members. Our 2012 AGM will be held at Taupo during the NZSG Conference, it is important that all our members attend these meetings. The committee hopes to be able to secure a longer time allocation for our AGM next year and we ask members to register their ‘intention to attend’ this meeting with Brenda (Sec) as soon as possible. Please contact the Secretary; NZSG Māori Interest Group, 17 Peterhouse Street, Tawa, Wellington, WTN 5028. Email: Mā[email protected] As always, the Committee and I wish you all a Safe and Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year with your family and friends – don’t miss out on the oppor- tunity to update the family photo album and fill in the whakapapa with the family events that have occurred throughout the year! May 2012 be all that you wish for and the year in which the elusive ancestor is finally revealed. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all.

We are just about to start this morning with hearing from 5 some of our submitters and I understand that there is to be a slight change in order and we are starting with Miss van Beek first, thank you. MISS VAN BEEK: Good morning. 10 CHAIRPERSON: Good morning, just when you are ready. MISS VAN BEEK: Hello, my name is Anita van Beek and I am just doing my own personal kind of feelings about this submission. So I am not 15 possibly the best prepared for talking here as I have tried to read and understand some of the stuff and it has all been a bit gobbledygook, unless someone was there to explain some of it. So I haven’t have had a lot of time to read all of it, there’s busy jobs and things like that in my own life. 20 So basically this is kind of more my feelings. So, for example, some of the simple things like a “transportation corridor” I interpreted as “roads” but wondered if there was any difference between the two, sometimes it seemed like French to me.

  • Māori Contributions to the Sport of Rugby League Phillip Borell
    He iti hoki te mokoroa: Māori Contributions to the Sport of Rugby League This thesis is submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Māori and Indigenous Studies in the University of Canterbury By Phillip Borell University of Canterbury 2012 Abstract The aim of this thesis is to explore the influences and contributions of Māori to the establishment and development of the sport of rugby league in New Zealand. The overarching question of this thesis is how have Māori influenced and contributed to the development of rugby league in New Zealand? This thesis examines the international social history of rugby league from the origins of rugby league as a sport following the split in rugby union in England through to the contemporary status of Māori within the game as an elite sport in New Zealand and overseas. By examining Māori involvement in rugby league it is my intention to place Māori at the centre of the explanation for the establishment and development, past and present, of the sport in New Zealand, and also globally. While there have been some previous accounts of the affiliation between Māori and rugby league (Coffey and Wood, 2008; Greenwood, 2008; Falcous, 2007) this thesis compiles accounts from disparate sources in order to outline the history of Māori involvement and achievement in the development stages of rugby league. Key areas of focus for this thesis include the early Māori tours of 1908 and 1909, the development of the New Zealand Māori Rugby League as an independent entity separate from the New Zealand Rugby League and the contemporary influences of Māori on rugby league.

    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.

  • Tangi and State Funeral
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Research Commons@Waikato i Tangi and State Funeral: Te Arikinui Dame Te Atairangikaahu & Prime Minister Norman Kirk A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Social Science in Psychology at The University of Waikato by Karyn Okeroa McRae The University of Waikato Te Whare Wananga o Waikato 2010 ii Dedication I dedicate this thesis to my beautiful father, Alfie McRae. What’s it all about Alfie… iii Abstract The tangi of Te Arikinui Dame Te Atairangikaahu (Te Arikinui) in 2006 paralleled the State funerals for New Zealand Prime Ministers like Norman Kirk who died in 1974. State funerals require the huge mobilization of people and resources and always attract the attention of the national and international media. The death of a Prime Minister is news worthy, but what of a minority indigenous fourth world leader like Te Arikinui? Why did her passing attract so much media attention? In this study I argue that media representation of the tangi of Te Arikinui was largely about social, cultural and symbolic capital. In media saturated societies such as Aotearoa/New Zealand, through mainstream media outlets like TV One News and the Waikato Times, Te Arikinui’s tangi event claimed a dominant space in the lives of Maori and non Maori alike. The data source includes print news media coverage of the tangi of Te Arikinui and the State funeral of Norman Kirk. Descriptive narrative and abductive analysis inform the methodology used in this study.

  • Kingship and Kinship the House of Tupou, Democracy and Transnationalism
    Kingship and Kinship The House of Tupou, Democracy and Transnationalism in Tonga Areti Metuamate February 2019 A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The Australian National University © Areti Metuamate All rights reserved 2019 ii Declaration Except where specific reference is made to other sources, the work presented in this thesis is solely that of the author. _____________________________________________ Areti Metuamate February 2019 iii Page intentionally left blank iv This thesis is dedicated to my maternal grandparents, Rongomate David Metuamate and Helen Te Ara o Rehua Metuamate (nee Tangimoana Rakatau), two people who loved their children and grandchildren unconditionally and taught us to pursue our dreams. Completing this PhD is one of mine. v Page intentionally left blank vi Abstract Tongan kingship has roots in an ancient system of Tu‘i (paramount ruler) that stretches back over a thousand years. The present king, Tupou VI, is the twenty-fourth Tu‘i Kanokupolu and the sixth monarch of the Tupou dynasty. What has enabled these institutions to survive so long is a range of accepted social arrangements and relationships that make up an intricate kinship system that underlies the very fabric of Tongan society. The rise of democracy, while an important modern development in Tonga’s recent political history, has not significantly affected this. Even Christianity, with its transformational impact on Tonga in the nineteenth century and beyond, was not able to shift Tonga’s deeply kinship-oriented social hierarchy. The image often portrayed in the Western media is that Tonga is a small (read insignificant), traditional (read out-dated) Polynesian society ruled firmly by a King and his noblemen; consequently this view is one that is shared by many in Australia and New Zealand.
