I stand before you today not only in the capacity of Governor-General, but also as a former member of the Te Mātāhauariki Research Institute Advisory Panel from 1997 to 2006. As such, I have amongst you many personal and professional friends. There is a connection between Te Mātāhauariki and Government House that bears mention. At the launch of Dr Alex Frame’s book Grey and Iwikau: a journey into custom at Government House in 2002 the Institute gifted an illustration from the book to Government House and it still hangs in Government House and is a reminder of the connection. Tūhonohono, a linking together or bonding, is the central principle of this symposium. It describes the dual mandate of the symposium, which is first to present the Institute’s work, Te Mātāpunenga: A Compendium of References to the Concepts and Institutions of Māori Customary Law, and secondly to discuss the place of Māori customary law in New Zealand. During my time with Te Mātāhauariki the Te Mātāpunenga project was devised and nurtured over time. It is a thrill to see it finished. It reflects the Institute’s objective to join the customary visions of Māori and Pākehā in a cohesive New Zealand jurisprudence. It also reflects the coming together of Pacific scholars to advance the understanding of custom law and its contribution to state legal systems. 1 Opening Address at the Symposium, Tainui Endowed College, Waikato, 22 June 2007, slightly abridged. Original text may be downloaded from <http://gg.govt.nz/node/630>. ii Yearbook of New Zealand Jurisprudence Vols 13 & 14 The symposium is based on three themes, finding, understanding and applying custom. Each theme flows logically to the next, as one cannot apply or understand custom without first finding its location. However, as these three themes will be the subject of much discussion over the following days I would like to comment briefly on what I consider to be the importance of tikanga Māori to New Zealand in 2007. Where we have come from, as a nation, is important in determining the relevance of tikanga Māori today. As recipients of an English judicial system, we inherited English common law and legislation yet, even at an early stage, tikanga Māori was recognised. I quote Sir John Salmond in 1924 in reference to the Native Rights Act 1865 from Grey and Iwikau: A Journey into Custom: “aboriginal Maoris should to a large extent continue to live by their own tribal customs, and to this extent those customs were given by statute, and still remain, the authority of law”.2 As a distinct New Zealand customary law developed the survival of tikanga Māori has often been attributed to its dynamic nature and its ability to change. The disappearance of some practices – such as deliberate cursing – and the arrival of others – such as burial practices – is an example of the adaptability of tikanga Māori. In conjunction with this, a continual recognition and application of tikanga Māori by Judges in our courts has seen it survive and, if anything, gain importance as a part of New Zealand common law. Today it is of practical relevance in sentencing, in family protection claims or where a statute expressly requires consideration of it, for example the Resource Management Act. It is also applied in situations where customary law survives unaffected by any other subsequent legislation. This symposium will not only explore the origins of tikanga Māori but perhaps, more importantly, consider the future role it may play in our legal system. With the attendance of our Pacific neighbours, where native customary law is in many cases more prevalent, much can be learned both from their experiences and our own over the next two days. I would like to close by resonating a Māori proverb which I believe is reflective of the symposium’s purpose: Waiho i tetoipoto, kaua i tetoiroa “Let us keep close together, not far apart.” 2 Sir John Salmond Jurisprudence or the Theory of Law (7th ed, Stevens and Haynes, London, 1924) at 210, quoted in Alex Frame Grey and Iwikau: A Journey into Custom (Victoria University Press, Wellington, 2002) at 64. 2010 & 2011 Foreword iii I wish Tainui Endowed College and Te Mātāhauariki Research Institute all the best for the Tūhonohono: the State and Custom Symposium 2007. I began speaking in all the New Zealand realm languages. May I close by speaking in Māori issuing greetings and wishing you good health and fortitude in your endeavours. Nō reira, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, kia ora, kia kaha, tēnā koutou katoa. iv Yearbook of New Zealand Jurisprudence Vols 13 & 14 PREFACE Tūhonohono: CusTom and The sTaTe – CelebraTing The launCh of Te MāTāpunenga1 The hon JusTiCe sir david baragwanaTh The week of 22 June 2007 was a time for treble celebration. That day and over the following weekend we recognised the brilliant success to date of Te Mātāhauariki and looked to what we were sure would be its exciting future; the following Friday there was a further event to mark the 20th anniversary of the Māori Council case; that evening Te Mātāpunenga ran down the skids into the water to begin its voyage. The title of the symposium of which this issue of the Yearbook of New Zealand Jurisprudence at last provides a permanent record – Custom (which alludes to Māori custom) and the State – took me to the sometime New Zealander Karl Popper who, with his intellectual genius tempered by exposure as a Jew to the injustice of Hitler, analysed the raison d’être of the state. In his celebrated Open Society and its Enemies2 he argued that it is simply to ensure justice: that the strong do not bully the weak. That should be the function of the laws and institutions of the state. But as all of us know so well, it is never enough for minorities – even those equipped with a solemn Treaty promise – to sit back and expect their rights to be protected and their culture promoted. They must take positive steps in their own and in the wider public interest. That truth is what the Māori Council case was about. It is also, in my view, a major element both of the original justification for Te Mātāhauariki and of its stunning vindication today in Te Mātāpunenga. 1 The edited text of a speech by Justice Baragwanath at the opening of the Tūhonohono symposium, marking the release of the pre-publication draft of Te Mātāpunenga on CD to all symposium participants.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. TE WAIRUA KŌMINGOMINGO O TE MĀORI THE SPIRITUAL WHIRLWIND OF THE MĀORI A thesis presented for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in Māori Studies Massey University Palmerston North, New Zealand Te Waaka Melbourne 2011 Abstract This thesis examines Māori spirituality reflected in the customary words Te Wairua Kōmingomingo o te Maori. Within these words Te Wairua Kōmingomingo o te Māori; the past and present creates the dialogue sources of Māori understandings of its spirituality formed as it were to the intellect of Māori land, language, and the universe. This is especially exemplified within the confinements of the marae, a place to create new ongoing spiritual synergies and evolving dialogues for Māori. The marae is the basis for meaningful cultural epistemological tikanga Māori customs and traditions which is revered. Marae throughout Aotearoa is of course the preservation of the cultural and intellectual rights of what Māori hold as mana (prestige), tapu (sacred), ihi (essence) and wehi (respect) – their tino rangatiratanga (sovereignty). This thesis therefore argues that while Christianity has taken a strong hold on Māori spirituality in the circumstances we find ourselves, never-the-less, the customary, and traditional sources of the marae continue to breath life into Māori. This thesis also points to the arrival of the Church Missionary Society which impacted greatly on Māori society and accelerated the advancement of colonisation.

  • Destruction of Indigenous Heritage Sites at Otuparae

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. He Mahi Whakamanakore: Destruction of Indigenous Heritage Sites at Otuparae. A Case Study of the Otuparae Headland Development A thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy in Resource and Environmental Planning Massey University, Manawatu Hemopereki Hoani Simon Ngati Tuwharetoa, Te Arawa Whanui, Ngati Manawa, Tuhoe, Waikato, Ngati Maru 2011 i Abstract This thesis examines indigenous cultural heritage site destruction in Aotearoa, New Zealand. In particular, it examines what took place within a planning system to approve the destruction of the heritage site at Otuparae, near Taupo. This thesis seeks to identify what contributed to the decision to grant approval to developers without consultation with the local hapu, Ngati Rauhoto. The research is framed in a form of Kaupapa Maori Research (KMR) called whakawhanaungatanga. Analysis of critical ethnography, key actor interviews, participant observation, field notes in research journals, videos, and documents took place to gather data. A review of the colonial history of Ngati Tuwharetoa revealed that over time the Crown usurped the mana, power and sovereignty of Tuwharetoa. In doing so, the Crown left Tuwharetoa politically, socially, economically and culturally weak, forcing Tuwharetoa to enter into Crown-controlled and created legal and political frameworks. Additionally, the Crown instituted a governance model based on colonial thinking. This thesis contributes to the body of knowledge about the need to incorporate different worldviews into planning to achieve sustainable development.

    Ngā Tātai Kōrero i Te Kauwhanganui ki Rukumoana A Summer Internship Funded by Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga By Lydia Waharoa (Supervisor: Dr. Mike Ross, Victoria University) 1 Project Aims To research, collect, catergorise and compile material to produce a Booklet for the 2017 Centenary of Te Kauwhanganui ki Rukumoana. To Explore National archives collection and the National Library in Wellington To provide a summary of literature centred around Tupu Taingakawa and Te Kauwhanganui 2 Māori have always had strong connections with the land and out of this arose the struggle for mana whenua and mana motuhake. This paper explores and researches the historical and political context surrounding the establishment of Te Kauwhanganui ki Rukumoana to the present day. Research is made regarding the people who were instrumental in its establishment, how it came to be, its development and the Māori political movements of the time. This paper focuses on Tupu Taingakawa whose upbringing and political career weaves through the Kīngitanga and the Te Kauwhanganui, spanning many decades and changes. He was Te Kauwhanaganui’s first Tumuaki of the House, a strong and ardent supporter of the Kīngitanga movement and instrumental in the building of the Te Kauwhanganui ki Rukumoana. Historical Socio-Political Context In the 1800’s, British colonial threats to Māori sovereignty guaranteed by the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840 triggered a series of negative and exploitive events in a short period of time. The increasing number of British settlers were operating in direct competition with the Crown and the growing demand to purchase Māori land led to political and legislative marginalisation of Māori iwi and hapū (Papa and Meredith, 2015).
