    Governed by Contracts: The Development of Indigenous Primary Health Services in Canada, Australia and New Zealand Josée G. Lavoie, PhD Candidate London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Health Policy Unit Abstract This paper is concerned with the emergence of Indigenous primary health care organizations in Canada, Australia and New Zealand. In Canada, the adoption of the 1989 Health Transfer Policy promoted the transfer of on-reserve health services from the federal government to First Nations. In Australia, Aboriginal Community-Controlled Health Services first appeared in the 1970s because of community mobilization. It aims to provide some access to free health care to Aboriginal People. A more recent model, the Primary Health Care Access Program, aims at guaranteeing Aboriginal access to comprehensive primary health care services under the authority of Regional Aboriginal Health Boards. In New Zealand, Maori providers emerged because of the market-like conditions implemented in the 1990s. This study compares the policy and contractual environment put in place to support Indigenous health providers in Canada, Australia and New Zealand, using a case study approach. Results show that the contractual environment does not necessarily match declared policy objectives, especially where competitive models for accessing funding have been implemented. Key Words Primary health care, policy, self-determination, Indigenous People, health care financing, fourth sector INTRODUCTION needs of that group; and to promote their political as- This paper is concerned with the emergence of a pirations involving a renegotiation of their relation- fourth sector in Canada’s, Australia’s and New ship with the nation-state.

    HHr Health and Human Rights Journal The Waitangi Tribunal’s WAI 2575 Report: ImplicationsHHR_final_logo_alone.indd 1 10/19/15 10:53 AM for Decolonizing Health Systems heather came, dominic o’sullivan, jacquie kidd, and timothy mccreanor Abstract Te Tiriti o Waitangi, a treaty negotiated between Māori (the Indigenous peoples of Aotearoa) and the British Crown, affirmed Māori sovereignty and guaranteed the protection of hauora (health). The Waitangi Tribunal, established in 1975 to investigate alleged breaches of the agreement, released a major report in 2019 (registered as WAI 2575) about breaches of te Tiriti within the health sector in relation to primary care, legislation, and health policy. This article explores the implications of this report for the New Zealand health sector and the decolonial transformation of health systems. The tribunal found that the Crown has systematically contravened obligations under te Tiriti across the health sector. We complement the tribunal’s findings, through critical analysis, to make five substantive recommendations: (1) the adoption of Tiriti-compliant legislation and policy; (2) recognition of extant Māori political authority (tino rangatiratanga); (3) strengthening of accountability mechanisms; (4) investment in Māori health; and (5) embedding equity and anti-racism within the health sector. These recommendations are critical for upholding te Tiriti obligations. We see these requirements as making significant contributions to decolonizing health systems and policy in Aotearoa and thereby contributing to aspirations for health equity as a transformative concept. Heather Came is Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Health and Environment Sciences, Auckland University of Technology, Auckland, New Zealand. Dominic O’Sullivan is Associate Professor at the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, Charles Sturt University, Canberra, Australia.

Räkaumangamanga is my mountain, Ipipiri is my sea, Te Räwhiti is my marae, Ngäti Kuta is my sub-tribe, Ngäpuhi is my tribe, Te Nana is my ancestor, Ngä Taiapa Rino o Te Poka o Whata Paraua (Ngärino) is my name. In May 2013, on a beautiful Monday morning, around 150 members of hapü ‘sub-tribes’ from around the Bay of Islands, including Ngäti Manu and Te Kapotai and the two hapü of Te Rawhiti (Ngäti Kuta and Patu Keha), boarded a hired ferry at Opua. Along with members of the Waitangi Tribunal and their retinue, the group visited sacred and important hapü sites. We began on our precious moana ‘ocean’ and ended up travelling by bus inland to marae ‘ancestral community hubs’ at Waikare and Karetu. This was to be a historic moment as we heard from our kuia ‘female elders’ and kaumätua ‘male elders’ about the effects of Te Tiriti o Waitangi (the Treaty of Waitangi) 1840 and its insidious legacies for us today. The next day our kaikörero ‘speakers’ began four days of hearings, in which they frequently referred to documents which our tüpuna ‘ancestors’ had signed. In their Briefs of Evidence, they referred to the sacred marks their ancestors had made from their moko ‘tattoo’ on those documents, especially Te Tiriti and Te Wakaputanga (the Declaration of Independence) 1835.

Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu and Papatipu Rūnanga 1.1 This response is made on behalf of Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu (Te Rūnanga) which is the statutorily recognised representative tribal body of Ngāi Tahu whānui (as provided by section 15 of the Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu Act 1996 (TRONT Act)) and was established as a body corporate on 24 April 1996 under section 6 of the TRONT Act. 1.2 Te Rūnanga encompasses five hapū, Kati Kurī, Ngāti Irakehu, Kati Huirapa, Ngāi Te Ruahikihiki, Ngāi Tūāhuriri and 18 Papatipu Rūnanga, who uphold the mana whenua and mana moana of their rohe. Te Rūnanga is responsible for managing, advocating and protecting, the rights and interests inherent to Ngāi Tahu as mana whenua. 1.3 Notwithstanding its statutory status as the representative voice of Ngāi Tahu whānui “for all purposes”, Te Rūnanga accepts and respects the right of individuals and Papatipu Rūnanga to make their own responses. 1.4 Papatipu Rūnanga who have shared interests across the Queenstown Lakes District are: Waihōpai Rūnanga; Te Rūnanga o Awarua; Te Rūnanga o Ōraka Aparima and Te Rūnanga o Hokonui (collectively referred to as Ngāi Tahu ki Murihiku) and Te Rūnaka o Ōtākou, Kati Huirapa ki Puketeraki Rūnaka and Moeraki Rūnaka (collectively referred to a Kāi Tahu ki Ōtākou).

  • Me Tā Tāua Mokopuna
    New Zealand Journal of History, 49, 1 (2015) Me Tā Tāua Mokopuna THE TE REO MĀORI WRITINGS OF H.K. TAIAROA AND TAME PARATA THE TITLE OF THIS ARTICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN from a letter between Tame Parata and Hori Kerei Taiaroa (H.K), two influential southern Māori leaders of the later nineteenth century.1 The letter acknowledges with affection their shared grandchild, ‘me tā tāua mokopuna’, Te Matenga Taiaroa. Both men were important figures in both tribal and parliamentary politics whose legacies endure through their descendants, their political careers and their written work. Parata and H.K. left a considerable archive of writings in their native language, te reo Māori, and those texts are the focus of this essay. H.K. and Parata were born in the early nineteenth century, so their lives straddled the old Māori world and the modern world. As influential figures in a new generation of leaders they skilfully confronted the challenges posed by colonial rule, which was a fundamental element of their political reality, but they were both heavily influenced by the previous generation. Their fathers, who were veterans of tribal battles like that with Te Rauparaha in Ōraumoanui, were dominant forces in their lives. H.K. and Parata each took up the mantle of leadership, acting as rakatira (chiefs) and representing their people within the colonial political system. Both established extensive relationships amongst Māori and Pākehā and became skilful political and cultural negotiators. Exploring their writing in te reo, especially their correspondence, adds depth to our understanding of these key figures in tribal history and in the politics of southern New Zealand.
