    KEYNOTE SPEAKERS 1 Keynote 1 From Maoritanga to Matauranga: Indigenous Knowledge Discourses Linda Tuhiwai Smith (NMM, Cinema) _______________________________________________________________________________ My talk examines the current fascination with matauranga Maori in policy and curriculum. I am interested in the way academic discourses have shifted dramatically to encompass Maori interests and ways of understanding knowledge. I explore some aspects of the development of different approaches to Maori in the curriculum and track the rising interest in matauranga (traditional Maori knowledge) through a period of neoliberal approaches to curriculum in our education system and measurement of research excellence. The Performance Based Research Fund recognises matauranga Maori as a field of research, Government research funds ascribe to a Vision Matauranga policy which must be addressed in all contestable research funds and there are qualifications, majors and subject papers which teach matauranga Maori at tertiary level. New Zealand leads the world in terms of incorporating indigenous knowledge, language and culture into curriculum. Most of the named qualifications are accredited through the New Zealand Qualifications Authority, which then owns the intellectual property of the curriculum. Maori individuals clearly play a significant role in developing the curriculum and resources. They are mostly motivated by wanting to provide a Maori-friendly and relevant curriculum. However, Maori people are also concerned more widely about cultural

Although it is small, it is precious. The statistical representation of Mäori is frequently a portrayal of ethnic disparity – Mäori as enjoying, in comparison to Päkehä New Zealand, less health, wealth, education, a greater proclivity for criminal pursuits and perhaps a “warrior gene” or two. The aesthetic of this picture has been consistently unpalatable, routinely criticised and variously addressed. Those in the pakeke bracket have witnessed EDITORIAL TEAM attempts to eradicate disparity through integration, devolution, biculturalism, a Phil Tumataroa Editor (above) Assistant Editor brave new era of “by Mäori for Mäori”, and most recently, the rapid retreat driven by Felolini Maria Ifopo Sub Editor the “needs not race” rhetoric. This quickstep approach to Mäori policy has distorted Stan Darling Debra Farquhar Sub Editor the frame, obscuring the true picture. The pattern emerges not by comparing Mäori to Päkehä, but by contrasting policy against result. CONTRIBUTORS The United Nations recently refocused the picture by tracing the journey between Dr Neville Bennett Tom Bennion cause and effect. The Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, as Donald Couch Pirimia Burger indicated by its name, exists to protect and promote the right to racial equality.

    KEYNOTES 1 Keynote 1 The Significance of Human Differences: Race and Culture as Concepts for Understanding the Diverse Peoples of the Pacific, 1750-1914 Erik Olssen (LT1) ______________________________________________________________________________ This paper grew out of my dissatisfaction with the neglect of Humanitarianism by recent New Zealand historians; the inadequacies of the historiography relating to race in nineteenth century Britain, its Empire and the wider Euro-American intellectual world. Race as a concept denoting visible physical and biological difference came to be widely used, initially in France and the United States; in Britain by contrast its use was from the start mediated and qualified by evidence from language. I begin by showing how the scientific gentlemen of Cook’s various voyages identified the Austronesian languages, thus deploying the evidence of the ear to check the evidence of the eye and creating a space that would eventually be occupied by the term culture. This discussion focuses on the way in which the founder of British ethnology, James Cowles Prichard, used the evidence concerning language to critique the emergent theories about race. Race was a word he began to avoid, and to construct a history of the settlement of Polynesia that created the Polynesians as descendants of the Indo-Europeans, or (to use his term), Aryans. In the process the significance of culture became central to explanations of human differences and to the process of improvement, itself fundamental to achieving civilisation. Even in the hey-day of social Darwinism the British preferences for a civilisational as against a biological paradigm remained powerful. Biography Erik Olssen taught at Otago University for thirty-three years and was Professor of History from 1984 until he retired in 2001.
