  • Māori Land Development Policy and the Law in the Age of Ngata (1920–1940)
    RE-THINKING INDIVIDUALISATION: MĀORI LAND DEVELOPMENT POLICY AND THE LAW IN THE AGE OF NGATA (1920–1940) RP Boast* Abstract This article focuses on Sir Āpirana Ngata as Minister of Native Affairs and his programme for Māori land development, which was underpinned by legislation enacted in 1929. The legislation is considered fully, as is the development programme itself. The thesis of the article is that the development programme was of pivotal significance, historically and legally, and that it needs to be understood in the wider context of law and policy relating to Māori land. The land development programme was a massive and risky investment in Māori land development, and was a reversal of policies which concentrated on the acquisition of Māori land by the state and its transfer to individual purchasers. It is suggested that Ngata’s success in bringing about this change was a remarkable achievement, but the land development policy was undercut by a failure to manage the programme effectively. This led to Ngata’s resignation. Following his resignation, the state’s administration of Māori land development changed direction, to the detriment of Ngata’s wider programme of economic and cultural revitalisation. Furthermore, the programme was flawed by a failure to develop coherent policy as to whether developed land was to be held by Māori farmers or by collective bodies. Also significant was the emergence of a social-democratic and economic nationalist Labour government after 1935, which was animated by a quite different vision from that of Ngata. I. Introduction This article is intended as an overview of the development of Māori land policy from 1909–1953 (that is, the period in between the two pivotal * QC OMNZ, Professor, Victoria University of Wellington.

Whanau play an integral role in who we are as an Iwi – they are the foundation upon which our well-being, wealth and future development is based.

  • Māori Election Petitions of the 1870S: Microcosms of Dynamic Māori and Pākehā Political Forces
    Māori Election Petitions of the 1870s: Microcosms of Dynamic Māori and Pākehā Political Forces PAERAU WARBRICK Abstract Māori election petitions to the 1876 Eastern Māori and the 1879 Northern Māori elections were high-stakes political manoeuvres. The outcomes of such challenges were significant in the weighting of political power in Wellington. This was a time in New Zealand politics well before the formation of political parties. Political alignments were defined by a mixture of individual charismatic men with a smattering of provincial sympathies and individual and group economic interests. Larger-than-life Māori and Pākehā political characters were involved in the election petitions, providing a window not only into the complex Māori political relationships involved, but also into the stormy Pākehā political world of the 1870s. And this is the great lesson about election petitions. They involve raw politics, with all the political theatre and power play, which have as much significance in today’s politics as they did in the past. Election petitions are much more than legal challenges to electoral races. There are personalities involved, and ideological stances between the contesting individuals and groups that back those individuals. Māori had to navigate both the Pākehā realm of central and provincial politics as well as the realm of Māori kin-group politics at the whānau, hapū and iwi levels of Māoridom. The political complexities of these 1870s Māori election petitions were but a microcosm of dynamic Māori and Pākehā political forces in New Zealand society at the time. At Waitetuna, not far from modern day Raglan in the Waikato area, the Māori meeting house was chosen as one of the many polling booths for the Western Māori electorate in the 1908 general election.1 At 10.30 a.m.
