    POROPOROAKI FOR TE ARIKINUI DAME TE ATAIRANGIKAAHU 1931 – 2006 From the President of the Polynesian Society Ko Potatau te tangata Ko Taupiri te maunga Ko Waikato te awa He piko he taniwha, he piko he taniwha Te Arikinui acknowledges her people after the formalities of her Silver Jubilee Celebrations. 209 The tangihanga for Te Arikinui Dame Te Atairangikaahu was marked by an unprecedented outpouring of affection and respect from all over New Zealand and beyond. On behalf of the Polynesian Society’s Council and members, I have been asked to record our appreciation of her service as Patron from 1981 to 2006, and to pay tribute to the part she played in bringing New Zealanders together as a nation. Te Arikinui Dame Te Atairangikaahu was a significant figure in my life from the early 1960s, when Koro Kapunga Dewes and I were tutor-organisers with Auckland University’s Department of Adult Education and escorted classes of Maori and Pakeha students to gatherings at Tainui marae. A happy young mother, Princess Piki (as she then was) was usually present in the circle surrounding her parents, King Koroki and his wife Te Atairangikaahu, acting as support and increasingly as understudy to her father. In the communities we visited she was clearly liked and respected for her unassuming manners, her loving care of her parents, and the competence and commitment with which she carried out the duties assigned to her. It was no surprise to us when Tainui accepted the advice of the other tribes attending King Koroki’s tangihanga and named her to lead the Kingitanga as Queen.

CULTURAL CONVERSATIONS IN A COUNSELLING CONTEXT A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Counselling at University of Waikato by Jane Harkness The University of Waikato 2008 Abstract This research project focuses on counselling practice with Maori women who have engaged in counselling in relation to overcoming the effects of both historic and recent sexual abuse. The researcher / counsellor is pakeha. The counsellor / researcher, researches her practice and its possible effects through research interviews with three women. The project offers a reflection on her practice ethics and on what she learns from the women. In particular, she explores the intentions and effects of an orientation to counselling that includes offering and taking up conversations about aspects of cultural identity.

  • Guest: Terence Knapp Lss 508 (Length: 26:46) First Air Date: 10/18/11
    GUEST: TERENCE KNAPP LSS 508 (LENGTH: 26:46) FIRST AIR DATE: 10/18/11 My feet have always been a problem. Well, ever since I’ve been to the islands, that is. Oh, not when I was a boy in Belgium; no, I was as good on my feet as anybody in those days, running around the countryside, helping out on the farm, driving the cows in at night, skating on the River Dijle. Why, the night before I left home for good, I walked fourteen miles to say goodbye to my mother at the Shrine of Our Lady. Twelve years I promised her. This studio at PBS Hawaiʻi has been the scene of many wonderful productions. From music specials, educational and informational programs, to shows about the arts, our cameras have captured them all. But in 1976, over a series of several days, a high water mark in local television was set. Journey with us to that time, as we look back on the career of actor Terrence Knapp, here on Long Story Short. Long Story Short with Leslie Wilcox is Hawaiʻi’s first weekly television program produced and broadcast in high definition. Aloha mai kākou. I’m Leslie Wilcox. In this edition of Long Story Short, you’ll meet a man who is considered by many to be a cultural treasure of Hawaiʻi, a devoted teacher of the dramatic arts, who chose to relocate from the British Isles of Shakespeare to an island home of a very different kind, an actor who has performed with Sir Laurence Olivier in the National Theater of Great Britain, and who mentored Booga Booga’s James Grant Benton.

DIRECTOR'S NOTES Kobo Abe is said to be a great lover of science fiction. He also has been called a writer of detec­ tive stories. It is easy to see why, looking at our play tonight. The hero ofT HE ANIMAL HUNTER, the Professor, entertains a fantastic, pseudo-scientific belief in something called "animal spirit." In order to test the power of the animal-like Uehs to cure human illness, he sets up, in his laboratory dungeon, an elaborate spirit experiment (which you will have to sitthrough most of the play to see). He exhorts those around him to eatonlyfood "with the letter 'i' in the name," since, as we all know, spirit travels through the "eye." Did his father turn into a raven and fly off into the sky? The Pro­ fessor thinks it likely.

  • Puritans, Missionaries, and Language Trouble in James Grant Benton's
    Multicultural Shakespeare: Translation, Appropriation and Performance vol. 18 (33), 2018; DOI: 10.18778/2083-8530.18.05 ∗ Rhema Hokama Shakespeare in Hawai‘i: Puritans, Missionaries, and Language Trouble in James Grant Benton’s Twelf Nite O Wateva!, a Hawaiian Pidgin Translation of Twelfth Night1 Abstract: In 1974, the Honolulu-based director James Grant Benton wrote and staged Twelf Nite O Wateva!, a Hawaiian pidgin translation of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. In Benton’s translation, Malolio (Malvolio) strives to overcome his reliance on pidgin English in his efforts to ascend the Islands’ class hierarchy. In doing so, Malolio alters his native pidgin in order to sound more haole (white). Using historical models of Protestant identity and Shakespeare’s original text, Benton explores the relationship between pidgin language and social privilege in contemporary Hawai‘i. In the first part of this essay, I argue that Benton characterizes Malolio’s social aspirations against two historical moments of religious conflict and struggle: post-Reformation England and post-contact Hawai‘i. In particular, I show that Benton aligns historical caricatures of early modern puritans with cultural views of Protestant missionaries from New England who arrived in Hawai‘i beginning in the 1820s. In the essay’s second part, I demonstrate that Benton crafts Malolio’s pretentious pidgin by modeling it on Shakespeare’s own language. During his most ostentatious outbursts, Malolio’s lines consist of phrases extracted nearly verbatim from Shakespeare’s original play. In Twelf Nite, Shakespeare’s language becomes a model for speech that is inauthentic, affected, and above all, haole. Keywords: Twelfth Night, Reformation studies, puritanism, pidgin and creole languages.

  • An a to Z About Everything That You Wanted to Know
    1 AN INFORMATION HANDBOOK FOR TEACHERS, SUPPORT STAFF, PARENTS, GRANDPARENTS AND VISITORS ABSENCES When a student is absent from kura we would appreciate a parent/caregiver either ringing the kura office to explain the absence or sending a note explaining the absence with the student on their return to kura. Teachers must inform the principal when they will be absent from kura and complete an application for leave form i.e. date leave requested, type of leave applied for, name of reliever. ACCIDENTS Any student who suffers an injury in the playground or classroom that requires some form of first aid must be accompanied by a staff member on duty to the sickbay and treated according to the nature of the injury. There are disposable gloves available in the sickbay medical supplies cupboard. These must be worn when treating any injuries involving the discharge of blood. The first aid register in the administration office must be filled in correctly. In the event of a student sustaining a major injury e.g. fractured limb, seek the assistance of another colleague and inform the principal/deputy principal as soon as it is possible. AFTER KURA CARE Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Bernard Fergusson does not offer any after kura care for children. The kura grounds are usually clear of children by 3.45 p.m. If there are children still at kura after this time they should be questioned as to whether or not they require any assistance. ANCILLARY STAFF All employees who are not registered teachers are considered to be ancillary staff (or support staff).
