For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] Me Haka I te Haka a Tānerore?: Māori 'Post-War' Culture and the Place of Haka in Commemoration at Gallipoli Abstract This article is an extensive discussion from a Maori perspective into issues around the use of Maori cultural terms, in particular haka, to commemorate the fallen in WWI. Embedded in the article are key theories of cultural memory, 'war culture' and 'post-war culture'. The research outlines the differences between European and Indigenous war and post war cultural practices focusing on Maori. It seeks to understand the reluctance of Turkish officials to see haka being performed when it was apparently banned from ceremonies in 2005. It outlines the media reporting on the issue and the subsequent reintroduction of haka in August 2015 at the centenary of the Chunuk Bair battle.

  • Teaching and Learning an Indigenous Language Through Its Narratives: Máori in Aotearoa/New Zealand
    JOHN C MOORFIELD Teaching and Learning an Indigenous Language Through its Narratives: Máori in Aotearoa/New Zealand INTRODUCTION 1 In a society which is based on oral tradition, the contribution of those individuals who are vested by their society with significant knowledge of, and stature in the culture, is vital in the propagation of knowledge. These individuals, referred to as ‘repositories’ play an important role in Aoteaoroa /New Zealand in the preservation of Máori as a living and taught language. One teaching method used widely in Aotearoa/New Zealand, the Te Whanake collection, while essentially a resource for teaching Máori as a second language to adults, also features narratives by well-known repositories of Máori knowledge across Aotearoa/New Zealand who saw the importance of the written word as a tool to aid in the survival of the Máori language, history and culture. Within the collection, the voices of these repositories echo the idiosyncrasies of the tribes to which they belong, thus providing a cross-sectional glimpse into various aspects of the Máori world. In the Máori world, people with a deep knowledge of their tribal culture, history and traditions and with fluency in the language are highly respected by their own tribe and Máori people in general. They are regarded as repositories of this knowledge, much of which will have been handed down from earlier generations. Prior to colonisation, this knowledge was transmitted from generation to generation by word of mouth. However, most modern Máori do not have the finely-honed memory necessary to maintain such an oral tradition because of changing traditions which de-emphasise the spoken transfer of cultural knowledge.

  • Te Whakaako I Te Reo Teaching Māori Using the Te Whanake Collection
    JOHN C. MOORFIELD Te Whakaako i Te Reo Teaching Māori Using The Te Whanake Collection Introduction The widespread teaching of Māori language to adults in tertiary institutions in Aotearoa/New Zealand is a relatively recent phenomenon. However, it was taught in universities by 1929 when it was being offered as a unit for the Bachelor of Arts degree by the University of New Zealand, although there is conflicting information regarding the precise date when this started.1 It was not until 1951 that the language was actually taught by a permanent member of the faculty at any constituent college of the University of New Zealand when Professor Bruce Biggs was appointed Lecturer in Māori Studies at the University of Auckland.2 (Benton 1981: 26). The other universities and polytechnics in Aotearoa/New Zealand have gradually followed. The University of Waikato introduced Māori as a subject for a Bachelor degree early in its life in 1970 under the leadership of Tīmoti Kāretu, 3 while the University of Otago, which is the oldest university in Aotearoa/New Zealand, having been established in 1869, introduced Māori as a subject only in 1981. 4 It was only with the production of the Te Whanake textbooks and resources that a comprehensive series designed to teach Māori as a second language to adults has become available. Prior to the production of these resources, the material available for teaching Māori language to adults was limited to a few grammar textbooks, the best of which was Bruce Biggs’ Let’s Learn Māori. Other textbooks available were designed for teaching the language to children, the most notable of which are the three textbooks of the Te Rangatahi series by Hoani Waititi for secondary schools, and the more advanced textbook by Tīmoti Kāretu called Te Reo Rangatira.

  • Te Räkau Whanake Me Öna Ähuatanga Angitu Hei Hopu Reo
    Te Räkau Whanake me Öna Ähuatanga Angitu Hei Hopu Reo Mäori Nä Andrea Kire Kua tukuna tënei tuhinga wewete nei kia ea ai ngä ritenga ki Te Tohu Paerua Mäori Te Whare Wänanga o Wikitoria Paenga-whäwhä 2011 He Whakaräpopototanga During the 1970s research showed that less than 20% of Mäori people were proficient in the Mäori language. Leading sociolinguists of that time predicted the Mäori language would be extinct by 2000. This provided the impetus for the emergence of various Mäori language revitalisation strategies. Te Whanake and Te Ataarangi are two examples of such diverse language acquisition programmes developed in response to these findings. This thesis will provide a comparative analysis of both programmes through an examination of the respective historical backgrounds, the methodological factors particular to each programme and consequently highlight why they continue to be successful models after 30 years at the forefront of Mäori language revitalisation. i He Mihi Mä te hau onamata taku mihi e kawe atu ki öku mätua ki a Whirinaki ki a Taihape, mei kore kaurua, kua kore tënei.

Search in the innermost recesses of the intellect To seek new knowledge as yet unexplored As the past is purchased by the present And the future is the goal of tomorrow! Cover Image: According to Ngāi Tahu (Kai Tahu), Te Kaihīnaki (Moeraki Boulders) situated on Koekohe Beach just north of Moeraki Peninsula, are the round food-baskets and water-carrying gourds of the Ārai-te-uru waka that were lost overboard and washed up the beach after the waka capsized in heavy seas further down the coastline at Matakaea (Shag Point). The reef which extends from this point is the waka’s petrifi ed hull and close by a standing rock is considered to be the body of its commander. Ārai-te-uru brought kūmara from Hawaiki to Aotearoa and after visiting Te Ika-a-Māui (the North Island), it journeyed down the east coast of Te Waipounamu (the South Island). After the waka capsized, the baskets and gourds were lost overboard, forming the Moeraki boulders. According to geologists, the Moeraki Boulders are ‘concretions’, formed during the early Tertiary period some 65-55 million years ago. The strong mineral cements formed concentrically layer upon layer under tens to hundreds of metres of marine mud and sand beneath the ocean.

This is essential as the media’s latent potential is often underestimated and therefore underutilised. For Māori and inevitably te reo Māori, media has been a topic of heated contestation for over a century. It is postulated that throughout this troubled history, media’s influence has contributed to an erosion of te reo Māori and then conversely, since the late 20th century, its attempted revival.
