Constructing the Identities of Place CONSTRUCTING THE IDENTITIES OF PLACE: AN EXPLORATION OF MĀORI AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL HERITAGE PRACTICES IN AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND By Elizabeth Dale Pishief A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Museum and Heritage Studies Victoria University of Wellington 2012 Fig. 1: Map of New Zealand showing major settlements. i ii Contents Page Map of New Zealand i Abstract v Acknowledgements vii Abbreviations ix List of figures xi Introduction: Exploration of place, person and performance 1 Chapter one: Māori land-based heritage within the settlers’ discourse 55 Chapter two: The imperative of science: the archaeological discourse 81 Chapter three: Te Ao Māori: the Māori discourse 129 Chapter four: Place, performance, person and ‘the Connect’ 177 Conclusion 229 Glossary 237 Bibliography 241 iii iv Abstract This thesis examines a problem in current heritage practice, namely, the statutory management of archaeological sites separately from other heritage places with the consequent loss of many sites of importance to Māori. It explores places and the different meanings and practices of heritage constructed around them by archaeologists and Māori in Aotearoa New Zealand where such questions have not been critically examined in great depth. The study responds to this gap in the literature by setting out to develop a theory of heritage practice that enables the effective translation of peoples’ heritage aspirations into a workable model of heritage management in place of the current framework. The research has used an interdisciplinary theoretical framework developed from the literature of heritage studies and related fields, which builds on Laurajane Smith’s work on archaeology and the authorised heritage discourse, but also includes writing on governmentality, phenomenology, kinaesthesia, agency, and material culture. The research design employed a qualitative, interpretivist methodology. Discourse analysis of the evidence gathered from secondary sources, including legislation and policy; and an ethnography of current professional practice in the form of interviews and participant observation, all produced rich findings about heritage, place and practice that are fundamental to understanding the complex issues examined in this study. The main finding that emerges from the research is a refined theory of heritage. I argue that heritage is comprised of three tangible elements: person, performance and place, which create what Māori respondents refer to as the ‘Connect’, a contemporary Māori heritage practice related to customary concepts. Heritage is the Connect. The research has led to the formulation of a more appropriate trans-cultural, bi-national governance model of heritage. As one of the first sustained pieces of critical analysis of heritage management in New Zealand, this thesis thereby makes a significant academic contribution to critical heritage studies and the history, theory and practice of heritage management in this, and other post-settler nations. v vi Acknowledgements Many people have helped me during the years since I began this thesis. My first heartfelt thanks go to my supervisors, Dr Conal McCarthy and Dr Gavin McLean, for their support, and wonderful encouragement, guidance and advice throughout the whole process. I also thank the distance staff of the library at Victoria University for their dedication and efficiency with all my requests. This study would not have been possible without the kindness and assistance of the people who were my interviewees and whose thoughts, ideas and experiences have enabled me to undertake this research. I thank Kevin Jones, Kiri Petersen, Dan Witter, Jeremy Habberfield- Short, Rick McGovern-Wilson, Mark Allen, Cathryn Barr, Pam Bain, Karen Greig, Robert Macdonald, Rose Mohi, Darren Botica, Te Marino Lenihan, Cherie Williams, Frankie Williams, and Billy (Waitaha) for their time and interest in this topic. I owe an enormous debt of gratitude to these colleagues and tangata whenua. Some of these people are my long-time friends and they have given me considerable support over many years. I particularly want to thank Pam Bain for her insightful comments and invaluable understanding of our ‘East Coast.’ I cannot thank her enough. Karen Greig, too, has been a wonderful friend and commentator for years, and our weekly telephone calls have greatly invigorated me as we discussed our experiences of the process and shortened the distance between Dunedin and Napier. Rose Mohi, Cheryl Brown, Sharon Dell, Mark Allen, and Patrick Parsons have provided much encouragement, advice and trans-cultural views throughout. I particularly want to thank Robert Macdonald whose comments and world view have greatly contributed to my own understandings of Aotearoa New Zealand. Finally I want to thank my friends and family in Napier and Wellington who have put up with my reclusive behaviour and supported me throughout the experience, especially Ann Herbert, Raewyn Burke, Anne Loan, and Beverley Fullerton-Smith. I thank Becky, Rese and Chris Gray for their generous hospitality whenever I have come to Wellington. I thank my father Peter Bloomer and my dear mother the late Hilary for their love and encouragement. I thank my wonderful children and children in law: Justin, for always being on hand to help with the vii computer, and Shelley; Kate for her daily love and support; Alex for looking after me in Wellington and being such a great help with the proof reading and formatting; Evelyn and Pete; Matthew and Shirley; and the three little boys, Cairo, Caleb and Joshua for delighting me. viii Abbreviations ADG Assistant Director General AHD Authorised Heritage Discourse AJHR Appendices to the Journals of the House of Representatives ANZ Archives New Zealand ANZAC Australia New Zealand Army Corps ARC Auckland Regional Council B&CA Burial and Cremation Act 1964 BVCCT Bay View Community Charitable Trust CA Coroners Act 2006 CfE Commissioner for the Environment CFRT Crown Forestry Rental Trust CHM Cultural Heritage Management CRM Cultural Resource Management CVM Cultural Values Model DoC Department of Conservation EPA Environmental Protection Authority GIS Geographic Information System GPS Global Positioning System HPA Historic Places Act 1993 ICOMOS International Council on Monuments and Sites IHD Iwi Heritage Discourse MCH Ministry for Culture and Heritage MHC Māori Heritage Council NIWA National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research Ltd NZAA New Zealand Archaeological Association ix NZFS New Zealand Fire Service NZHPT New Zealand Historic Places Trust NZTA New Zealand Transport Authority Opus Opus International Consultants Ltd PCE Parliamentary Commissioner of the Environment POA Protected Objects Act 1975 PVC Pro Vice-Chancellor RMA Resource Management Act 1991 RSA Returned Servicemen’s Association SPA Scenery Preservation Act 1903 SRF Site Record File SRS Site Recording Scheme TCPA Town and Country Planning Act 1977 Te Papa Te Papa Tongariro/Museum of New Zealand The Treaty The Treaty of Waitangi The Tribunal The Waitangi Tribunal The Trust The National Trust (NZHPT prior to 1963) TPK Te Puni Kokiri TTWMA Te Ture Whenua Maori Act 1993 UNESCO United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organisation x List of figures Fig. 1.

A recommendation to HPT [New Zealand Historic Places Trust] that these sites should be recorded and then destroyed was a total disappointment for Ngati Tamatera! We had not witnessed such sites as these before and maybe never will again! Fortunately we had recorded these sites on video and had our kaumatua interviewed on Te Karere. The applicant was annoyed and accused Ngati Tamatera of trespassing. A last minute appeal to the Maori Heritage Council to review the decision failed.1 He then compared this incident with the care taken to preserve another heritage place: the old pump house in Waihi. The Waihi Cornish pump house, built in 1904 was moved at the cost of $3.2 million-plus because it was located on land that was unstable. The pump house is Waihi’s most prominent building and has overlooked the town since the days when the Martha mine was one of the world’s most important gold

The purpose of the booklet is not only to provide you with details on how donations are being used, but to offer some ideas on how to target your support to a project that you feel particularly passionate or strongly about. We hope this will in turn help to make missions-giving for you even more meaningful. Each project has been developed in partnership with those who will directly benefit. Selecting and then funding projects to be supported is decided annually by the Anglican Missions Board in line with our projected budget. Each project aligns with one or more of the ‘5 Marks of Mission’ which encourages all churches to: • Evangelise (proclaim the good news of the Kingdom); • Nurture (teach, baptise and nurture the Christian faith); • Serve (respond to human needs by loving service); • Preserve (preserve the integrity of creation for future generations); and • Transform (transform unjust structures of society, challenge violence of every kind and pursue peace and reconciliation).

  • 1991 Lecture
    THE TWENTY-SEVENTH JAMES BACKHOUSE LECTURE 1991 LOVING THE DISTANCES BETWEEN: RACISM, CULTURE AND SPIRITUALITY David James and Jillian Wychel The James Backhouse Lectures This is one of a series of lectures instituted by Australia Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends on the occasion of the establishment of that Yearly Meeting in 1964. This lecture was delivered in Perth on 5 January 1991 during the Yearly Meeting. James Backhouse was an English Friend who visited Australia from 1832 to 1838. He and his companion, George Washington Walker, travelled widely but spent most of their time in Tasmania. It was through their visit that Quaker Meetings were first established in Australia. The two men had access to individual people with authority in the young colonies, and with influence in the British Parliament and social reform movement. In painstaking reports and personal letters to such people, they made practical suggestions and urged legislative action on penal reform, on land rights and the treatment of Aborigines, and on the rum trade. James Backhouse was a botanist and naturalist. He made careful observations and published full accounts of what he saw, in addition to encouraging Friends and following the deep concern for the convicts and the Aborigines that had brought him to Australia. Australian Friends hope that this series of lectures will bring fresh insights into truth, often with reference to the needs and aspirations of Australian Quakerism.

  • A Study of Earthquake and Tsunami Evacuation for Napier Hill, Napier, Aotearoa New Zealand
    Understanding residents’ capacities to support evacuated populations: A study of earthquake and tsunami evacuation for Napier Hill, Napier, Aotearoa New Zealand December 2019 Benjamin A. Payne Julia S. Becker Lucy H. Kaiser Intentionally left blank. Disaster Research Science Report 2019/01 2 ABSTRACT Due to a large regional subduction zone (the Hikurangi subduction zone) and localised faults, Napier City located on the East Coast of Aotearoa/New Zealand is vulnerable to earthquake and tsunami events. On feeling a long or strong earthquake people will need to evacuate immediately inland or to higher ground to avoid being impacted by a tsunami, of which the first waves could start to arrive within 20 minutes (based on the Hikurangi earthquake and tsunami scenario presented in Power et al., 2018). Napier Hill is one such area of higher land, and it is estimated that up to 12,000 people could evacuate there in the 20 minutes following a long or strong earthquake. To understand the capacity of Napier Hill residents to support evacuees, three focus groups were held with a diverse sample of residents from Napier Hill on 21 and 22 July 2019. A follow up email was sent to all participants a week after the focus groups, containing a link to a short six question survey, which was completed by 68 people, most of whom were additional to the focus group attendees. Data from the focus groups and the survey was analysed qualitatively using thematic analysis. The findings highlight that in general people were happy to host evacuees and offer support if they were in a position to do so.

(2012) "Whale Rider: The Re-enactment of Myth and the Empowerment of Women," Journal of Religion & Film: Vol. 16 : Iss. 2 , Article 9. Available at: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf/vol16/iss2/9 This Article is brought to you for free and open access by DigitalCommons@UNO. It has been accepted for inclusion in Journal of Religion & Film by an authorized editor of DigitalCommons@UNO. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Whale Rider: The Re-enactment of Myth and the Empowerment of Women Abstract Whale Rider represents a particular type of mythic film that includes within it references to an ancient sacred story and is itself a contemporary recapitulation of it. The movie also belongs to a further subcategory of mythic cinema, using the double citation of the myth—in its original form and its re-enactment—to critique the subordinate position of women to men in the narrated world. To do this, the myth is extended beyond its traditional scope and context. After looking at how the movie embeds the story and recapitulates it, this paper examines the film’s reception. To consider the variety of positions taken by critics, it then analyses the traditional myth as well as how the book first worked with it. The onclusionc is, in distinction to the book, that the film drives a wedge between the myth’s original sacred function to provide meaning in the world for the Maori people and its extended intention to empower women, favoring the latter at the former’s expense.

  • Whatever Happened to Poor Mr Yate?
    Whatever Happened to Poor Mr Yate? AN EXERCISE IN VOYEURISM FROM the beginning there were those who were prepared to state openly that the missionary William Yate was the victim of a conspiracy 'black as hell'.1 Since then, the ambiguities surrounding Yate's dismissal in 1837 from the Church Missionary Society have continued to capture the imagination of some of New Zealand's major writers and recently pro- voked some spurious sword play in the pages of Landfall.2 The absence of decisive material in the CMS archives, combined with the problem that Yate, like Oscar Wilde, was accused of a crime considered hardly best suited for drawing-room conversation, contributed to the continuing uncertainty about the whole matter. It was complicated by the fact that Yate himself waged a long and unsuccessful campaign in England to have the allegations against him formally investigated. The CMS refused to. reopen his case, thereby adding to a rapidly swelling list of sympathizers with Yate. His friends believed him innocent and even those with no preconceived views thought that he had been unjustly deprived of an inquiry to which he was entitled. Moreover, he had been cast as yet another victim of Samuel Marsden's inflexible vindictiveness: 'I had no doubt of his Guilt from the first moment I was informed of his Conduct — and no one could Change my mind'.3 Because of the allegations, Yate found himself in an intolerable position: he was not faced with any legal charges, but was for many years prohibited by the Bishop of London from practising in a permanent capacity as a clergyman.4 It was not until 1846, under powerful patronage, that he was able to take up employment as a chaplain to an abandoned chapel for The portrait of the Reverend William Yate (opposite) was painted by C.
