    ARTICLE Family planning unmet need and access among iTaukei women in New Zealand and Fiji Radilaite Cammock, Peter Herbison, Sarah Lovell, Patricia Priest ABSTRACT AIM: The aim of the study was to identify unmet need and family planning access among indigenous Fijian or iTaukei women living in New Zealand and Fiji. METHOD: A cross-sectional survey was undertaken between 2012–2013 in five major cities in New Zealand: Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin; and in three suburbs in Fiji. Women who did not want any (more) children but were not using any form of contraception were defined as having an unmet need. Access experiences involving cost and health provider interactions were assessed. RESULTS: Unmet need in New Zealand was 26% and similar to the unmet need found in Fiji (25%). Cost and concern over not being seen by a female provider were the most problematic access factors for women. CONCLUSION: There is a need for better monitoring and targeting of family planning services among minority Pacific groups, as the unmet need found in New Zealand was three times the national estimate overall and similar to the rate found in Fiji. Cost remains a problem among women trying to access family planning services. Gendered traditional roles in sexual and reproductive health maybe an area from which more understanding into cultural sensitivities and challenges may be achieved. amily planning is considered an to be in control of when to have or limit the important tool in averting maternal number and timing of children, giving them deaths and ensuring women’s repro- the autonomy and self-preservation that is F 1 ductive needs are met.

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.

BEING A SERIES OF LECTURES DELIVERED BEFORE THE OTAGO INSTITUTE; ALSO A LECTURETTE ON THE MAORIS OF THE SOUTH ISLAND. By The Late Dr. T. M. Hocken. WELLINGTON, N.Z. JOHN MACKAY, GOVERNMENT PRINTER. I9I4. MEMOIR: DR. THOMAS MORLAND HOCKEN, The British nation can claim the good fortune of having on its roll of honour men and women who stand out from the ranks of their fellows as examples of lofty patriotism and generosity of character. Their fine idea of citizenship has not only in the record of their own lives been of direct benefit to the nation, but they have shone as an example to others and have stirred up a wholesome senti- ment of emulation in their fellows. There has been no lack of illustrious examples in the Motherland, and especially so in the last century or so of her history. And if the Motherland has reason to be proud of her sons and daughters who have so distinguished themselves, so likewise have the younger nations across the seas. Canada, South Africa, Aus- tralia, New Zealand, each has its list of colonists who are justly entitled to rank among the worthies of the Empire, whose generous acts and unselfish lives have won for them the respect and the gratitude of their fellows ; and, as I shall hope to show, Thomas Morland Hocken merits inclusion in the long list of national and patriotic benefactors who in the dominions beyond the seas have set a worthy example to their fellows.

  • Identity and Alternative Versions of the Past in New Zealand
    1 Identity and alternative versions of the past in New Zealand Geoffrey Clark Archaeology and Natural History, College of Asia and the Pacific, The Australian National University, Australia Introduction During the 1990s, New Zealand/Aotearoa experienced tumultuous debate over indigenous land rights, and the use of Maori culture and language, debate which was associated with the settlement of historical and contemporary grievances between the Crown and Maori. The study of New Zealand’s human past during this period became politicised and problematic because different versions of that past could be mobilised to support various agendas and cultural groupings. The redistribution of state-owned resources to Maori through the Waitangi Tribunal process and settlement negotiations with the government gave added intensity to debates about ownership and culturally appropriate use of the past, as did the fact that, with several notable exceptions, most professionally trained historians and archaeologists were of European descent. The refashioning of the cultural landscape at this time allowed concepts of identity to be destabilised, essentialised and reconstructed. For instance, some people of non-Maori descent, often glossed as ‘Pakeha’ (but see Goldsmith 2005), who historically belonged to the dominant colonial group, felt threatened by the prospect of a Maori cultural and economic renaissance supported by government redistribution of assets and the assertion that Maori had ancestral rights to New Zealand, as opposed to everyone else. Within Maoridom there were schisms between groups and subgroups involving membership and affiliation, and uncertainty over the rights of urban Maori to access resources through the Waitangi Tribunal. Most of all, if Maori were enshrined as the indigenous people of the land then the non-Maori majority might be considered ‘non-indigenous’, a term that carries the negative environmental connotations of being foreign, exotic and invasive to the land.

  • The Origins and Commencement of National Indigenous Political Representation in New Zealand Through the 1867 Maori Representation Act
    ‘A Proud Thing To Have Recorded’: The Origins and Commencement of National Indigenous Political Representation in New Zealand through the 1867 Maori Representation Act PAUL MOON Abstract In 1867, the New Zealand House of Representatives passed the Maori Representation Act, which entitled Māori males aged twenty-one and over to vote for a Māori member of the House. This article traces the constitutional origins of the Act, and concludes with a survey of the initial responses in some Māori communities to the passage of the legislation. What is evident in this analysis is that the Act was driven by various motives, ranging from pacifying Māori hostility, to the desire by some legislators to secure a parliamentary presence for Māori in order to make the House more representative. Introduction In 1840, the British Crown concluded the Treaty of Waitangi with around 540 Māori chiefs. This heralded the commencement of direct colonial rule through governors, who presided without the aid of any representative assembly. The passage of the 1852 New Zealand Constitution Act, however, gave New Zealand a bicameral parliament, which came into being in 1854. However, over the next decade, Māori continued to be largely excluded from the legislative process, even though some of the statutes passed by the early New Zealand parliaments affected Māori land, often adversely. Just over a decade after New Zealand acquired its own parliament, consideration began to be given by some of the country‟s politicians to the possibility of the indigenous Māori population having representation in the lower house – the House of Representatives. The purpose of this article is to survey the events leading up to establishment of the four Māori seats through the provisions of the 1867 Maori Representation Act, and the aftermath of the Act‟s passage.

  • Culture and Colonization: Revisiting the Place of Writing in Colonial New Zealand
    Culture and Colonization: Revisiting the Place of Writing in Colonial New Zealand TONY BALLAntYne This essay attempts to untangle a central conceptual and analytical knot in recent New Zealand historical writing: the interrelationship between culture and colonization. It explores the ways in which approaches to New Zealand’s colonial past have been transformed over the past 25 years and attempts to historicize these shifts by framing them against international intellectual developments and the cultural and political currents that reconfigured visions of the past in these islands. The essay then offers an assessment of a key preoccupation of recent scholarship: the relationships between writing and colonization. This discussion identifies some limitations of the existing work as well as underscoring where it does have real analytical purchase, before closing by pointing to some possible paths for future work. These new lines of inquiry, I argue, not only require us to ask some new questions about the cultural work writing did in a colonial context, but also necessitate a reassessment of how colonization actually worked on the ground. In explaining how the question of culture came to occupy centre stage in the historiography on colonial New Zealand, we must recognize that this shift is not unique but rather part of a broader shift in the intellectual terrain of Anglophone nations. Over the past three decades there has been a remarkable rekindling of historical work on colonialism. Questions about the dynamics of empire-building and the nature of colonial culture have shifted to the very centre of historical debate and humanities scholarship. In the late 1970s, the study of empire had seemingly reached a dead end and it was not an intellectual enterprise that was generating new analytical models or much controversy.

Having provided a sketch, this appendix then goes on to provide a brief overview and then listing of a bibliography on Social Class/Inequality in New Zealand. Traditional Māori society was strongly based on rank, which derived from ancestry (whakapapa). There were three classes – chiefs, commoners and slaves - with very limited mobility between them. Chiefs were almost invariably descended from other chiefs, although those in line to take up a chieftainship would be bypassed in favour of a younger brother if they did not show aptitude. In some tribes exceptional women could emerge to take on leadership roles. Prisoners of war were usually enslaved with no rights and often a low life expectancy. However, children of slaves were free members of the tribe. Contemporary Māori society is far less hierarchical and there are a variety of routes to prominence. European settlement of New Zealand came with a ready-made class structure imposed by the division between cabin and steerage passengers with the former mainly constituting middle class with a sprinkling of upper class ‘settlers’. This shipboard class division was reinforced by the Wakefield settlement system which endeavoured to reproduce a cross-section of UK society in the colony, with the mechanism that capital was needed by the middle/upper class to provide the frame in which the working class voyagers (they were only retrospectively entitled to be termed ‘settlers’) could be put to work.
