When I fi rst began looking at this area, I could not see how to fi nd a way of construc vely naviga ng through the obsta- cles I knew existed in the murky world of confl icts between historical land transac ons, ten- sions between hapū, iwi, territorial authori es, the Māori Land Court and government en - es. In 2011, I saw Teddy Cruz do a presenta on via Skype at the Extraordinary architectural conference in Sydney. Cruz’s presenta on, delivered via a satellite link, was on work that he had been carrying out with immigrant communi es on the Tijuana and San Diego border. Cruz is an interna onally renowned architect and spa al ac vist originally from Guatema- la. To access be er facili es for the people that he works with, Cruz relies on extensive nego a ons with government agencies and local industries to cut through constraints that prevent local development. Cruz’s presenta on was of a socially engaged model of prac ce aimed at ac va ng change that operates at a poli cal level. When I saw his presenta on, I realized then that my project was not just about housing. To be eff ec ve, my project had to be poli cally ac ve, and consider the legisla ve contexts that govern access to housing and land use. I felt that in some ways, the situa on that Māori face is very similar to the prob- lems that Cruz was encountering in his work with landless immigrant communi es. Poli cal ac vism is not something that comes naturally to me (public presen ng terrifi es me), but over the dura on of this project I have realised that it is necessary to move in this direc on, as people have no idea of what Māori communi es face. Cruz’s poli cally engaged approach to architectural prac ce gave me a model and the courage to undertake this research. I am profoundly indebted to him. Research involves the input of mul ple collaborators. I acknowledge the support of my su- pervisory team: Professor Tania Ka’ai, who is instrumental in driving research that contrib- utes to the development of Māori communi es, Professor Tina Engels-Schwarzpaul, whose research is focused on Pacifi c peoples and knowledge that comes from other places, Dr Carl Mika, whose research interest is in Māori world views and colonisa on, and Beryl Wool- ford-Roa, who off ered advice at the start. 7 Le er of tribal endorsement. Colleagues at Auckland University of Technology who supported the work include Dr Mark Jackson, Charles Grinter, who assisted with the ethics approval, Dr Albert Refi , Tania Smith, Dr Rachael Ka’ai, Dr Dean Mahuta, Dr Hinematau McNeill, Hohepa Maclean, Amanda Yates, Dr Moana Nepia, and from other academic ins tu ons: Dr Dorita Hannah, Kathy Waghorn, Professor Jim Evans and Professor David Williams, who also provided support and insigh ul feedback along the way. Rau Hoskins and Jade Kake from Te Matapihi also played an important role in the develop- ment of the research, as they are ac ve in raising awareness of the issues Māori face and fi nding opportuni es to support Māori housing ini a ves. Over the dura on of this research I collaborated with three communi es located in Kaitaia, Te Karaka and the North Hokianga. These collabora ons led to visualisa ons of aspira ons for future development. The fi rst collabora on was with Ricky Houghton, Sophie Smith, and He Korowai Trust. It was great working with the He Korowai team. Thank you for your aroha and manākitanga. Although the original par cipants in the wānanga for the Whare Ora development did not end up being selected to occupy the houses, I thank these families for their contribu on, en- thusiasm and assistance in helping to visualise Māori aspira ons for development in support of this project. Planning for the Whare Ora project was supported by Bernade e Aperahama, and Biddy Li- vesey; Biddy and Bernade e helped me dra the resource consent applica on (Appendix B). Lynley Newport and Lou-Ann Ballantyne, and Paul Cook from the Far North District Council, also provided support by highligh ng the main building and resource consent issues, and considering an alterna ve plan that stood outside legisla ve restric ons. Third-year students and staff from Auckland University of Technology Spa al Design also generously assisted in suppor ng the Whare Ora project by helping me measure and draw up as-built plans of the houses that came from Glen Innes, and making small scale models to test site and landscaping. I thank them, and also Kwong Vei Yong, Hope Puriri and Kahurangi Goulton, who recorded the Whare Ora visioning workshop. Some photos of the relocated houses in Kaitaia and the Motu’s place, came from s lls taken from fi lm shot by Briar March, Mark Lapwood or Johnnie Haydn. During the build, Briar made two documentaries about social housing: A Place called Home and Whare Tapa Wha. In the process of making these documentaries she tracked the relocated houses as they moved from Glen Innes to the Far North. For the Te Karaka project, I thank members of the Hawke family, especially Arohanui and Bob Hawke, and contributors to the Te Karaka 1 proposals. From the North Hokianga, I thank my whānaunga from Mi mi : especially Pat Waiomio, who died in 2014, and her daughter, Karen. I acknowledge Andrew and Georgina Kendall, Kaye Maree and Mita Dunn, Tom Allen and Robyn Kamira. I thank Reuben Porter and Heeni Hotorene who are developing Whare Uku housing in the Far North (one of the few examples of self-built aff ordable housing built on Māori land in the Far North). I acknowledge Haami Piripi, chairperson of Te Rūnanga o Te Rarawa, who gave formal tribal endorsement to my research, and the eff orts of people who par cipated in hui from Ma he he, Motu , Waihou, Waipuna, Ngā Nga Manawa, Ngā Tupoto and Waipereira marae. My thanks also go to Tosh Ah Kit from Auckland University of Technology who also assisted me. This research was generously supported by Auckland University of Technology, who paid 9 my fees, provided an award to write the thesis and supported my a endance in numerous wri ng workshops and conferences. I am very grateful. Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga also provided cri cal support through Kaupapa Māori workshop series and doctoral conferences dedicated to Māori research, which connected me to a wider network of researchers working in similar areas. This provided an essen al pla orm to carry out the research within a highly suppor ve environment, and also made the journey less solitary. Lastly I acknowledge the support of my partner Jus n Marler, my children, Tristan and Zoe, sister Yolande, niece Anaelle, and my ancestors.

Hi Tung Jung Members Trust this newsletter finds you all well. In the past few months in Wellington, we have experienced a huge storm with wind gusts exceeding the Wahine storm and causing much damage and disruption to our city. On top of this we were hit with a number of earthquakes which really shook us up and left us wondering when the proverbial Big One would come. It was however good for the supermarkets because everyone stocked up on bottled water, candles, canned foods, batteries and torches. OK for some?

  • Drugs, Guns and Gangs’: Case Studies on Pacific States and How They Deploy NZ Media Regulators
    ‘BACK TO THE SOURCE’ 7. ‘Drugs, guns and gangs’: Case studies on Pacific states and how they deploy NZ media regulators ABSTRACT Media freedom and the capacity for investigative journalism have been steadily eroded in the South Pacific in the past five years in the wake of an entrenched coup and censorship in Fiji. The muzzling of the Fiji press, for decades one of the Pacific’s media trendsetters, has led to the emergence of a culture of self-censorship and a trend in some Pacific countries to harness New Zealand’s regulatory and self-regulatory media mechanisms to stifle unflattering reportage. The regulatory Broadcasting Standards Authority (BSA) and the self-regulatory NZ Press Council have made a total of four adjudications on complaints by both the Fiji military-backed regime and the Samoan government and in one case a NZ cabinet minister. The complaints have been twice against Fairfax New Zealand media—targeting a prominent regional print journalist with the first complaint in March 2008—and twice against television journalists, one of them against the highly rated current affairs programme Campbell Live. One complaint, over the reporting of Fiji, was made by NZ’s Rugby World Cup Minister. All but one of the complaints have been upheld by the regulatory/self-regulatory bodies. The one unsuccessful complaint is currently the subject of a High Court appeal by the Samoan Attorney-General’s Office and is over a television report that won the journalists concerned an investigative journalism award. This article examines case studies around this growing trend and explores the strategic impact on regional media and investigative journalism.

  • Māori Land and Land Tenure in New Zealand: 150 Years of the Māori Land Court
    77 MĀORI LAND AND LAND TENURE IN NEW ZEALAND: 150 YEARS OF THE MĀORI LAND COURT R P Boast* This is a general historical survey of New Zealand's Native/Māori Land Court written for those without a specialist background in Māori land law or New Zealand legal history. The Court was established in its present form in 1865, and is still in operation today as the Māori Land Court. This Court is one of the most important judicial institutions in New Zealand and is the subject of an extensive literature, nearly all of it very critical. There have been many changes to Māori land law in New Zealand since 1865, but the Māori Land Court, responsible for investigating titles, partitioning land blocks, and various other functions (some of which have later been transferred to other bodies) has always been a central part of the Māori land system. The article assesses the extent to which shifts in ideologies relating to land tenure, indigenous cultures, and customary law affected the development of the law in New Zealand. The article concludes with a brief discussion of the current Māori Land Bill, which had as one of its main goals a significant reduction of the powers of the Māori Land Court. Recent political developments in New Zealand, to some extent caused by the government's and the New Zealand Māori Party's support for the 2017 Bill, have meant that the Bill will not be enacted in its 2017 form. Current developments show once again the importance of Māori land issues in New Zealand political life.

  • Auckland Regional Office of Archives New Zealand
    A supplementary finding-aid to the archives relating to Maori Schools held in the Auckland Regional Office of Archives New Zealand MAORI SCHOOL RECORDS, 1879-1969 Archives New Zealand Auckland holds records relating to approximately 449 Maori Schools, which were transferred by the Department of Education. These schools cover the whole of New Zealand. In 1969 the Maori Schools were integrated into the State System. Since then some of the former Maori schools have transferred their records to Archives New Zealand Auckland. Building and Site Files (series 1001) For most schools we hold a Building and Site file. These usually give information on: • the acquisition of land, specifications for the school or teacher’s residence, sometimes a plan. • letters and petitions to the Education Department requesting a school, providing lists of families’ names and ages of children in the local community who would attend a school. (Sometimes the school was never built, or it was some years before the Department agreed to the establishment of a school in the area). The files may also contain other information such as: • initial Inspector’s reports on the pupils and the teacher, and standard of buildings and grounds; • correspondence from the teachers, Education Department and members of the school committee or community; • pre-1920 lists of students’ names may be included. There are no Building and Site files for Church/private Maori schools as those organisations usually erected, paid for and maintained the buildings themselves. Admission Registers (series 1004) provide details such as: - Name of pupil - Date enrolled - Date of birth - Name of parent or guardian - Address - Previous school attended - Years/classes attended - Last date of attendance - Next school or destination Attendance Returns (series 1001 and 1006) provide: - Name of pupil - Age in years and months - Sometimes number of days attended at time of Return Log Books (series 1003) Written by the Head Teacher/Sole Teacher this daily diary includes important events and various activities held at the school.

  • First Years at Hokianga 1827 – 1836
    First Years at Hokianga 1827-1836 by Rev.C.H.Laws FIRST YEARS AT HOKIANGA 1827 – 1836 In a previous brochure, entitled "Toil and Adversity at Whangaroa," the story of the Methodist Mission to New Zealand is told from its initiation in 1823 to its disruption and the enforced flight of the missionaries in 1827. After a brief stay with members of the Anglican Mission at the Bay of Islands the Methodist party sailed for Sydney in the whaler "Sisters" on January 28th, 1827, arriving at their destination on February 9th. It consisted of Nathaniel Turner and Mrs. Turner, with their three children, John Hobbs, James Stack and Mr. and Mrs. Luke Wade, and they took with them a Maori girl and two native lads. William White had left Whangaroa for England on September 19th, 1825, and at the time of the flight had not returned. The catastrophe to the Mission was complete. The buildings had been burned to the ground, the live stock killed; books and records destroyed, and the property of the Mission now consisted only of a few articles in store in Sydney which had not been forwarded to New Zealand. Wesley Historical Society (NZ) Publication #4(2) 1943 Page 1 First Years at Hokianga 1827-1836 by Rev.C.H.Laws Chapter I The departure of the Mission party for Sydney is seen, as we look back upon it, to have been the right course. Sydney was their headquarters, they were a large party and could not expect to stay indefinitely with their Anglican friends, and it could not be foreseen when they would be able to re-establish the work.

Everywhere the waves created turbulence and activity but they only engulfed a few small islands; more substantial landmasses were hardly touched at all [and]…the high ground remained completely untouched. Ivor F. Goodson (1994, 17) iii Abstract This thesis examines the development of the New Zealand secondary school history curriculum in the late 20th century and is a case study of the transformation of an academic discipline into a senior secondary school subject. It is concerned with the nature of state control in the development of the history curriculum at this level as well as the extent to which dominant elites within the history teaching community influenced the process. This thesis provides a historical perspective on recent developments in the history curriculum (2005-2008) and argues New Zealand stands apart from international trends in regards to history education. Internationally, curriculum developers have typically prioritised a narrative of the nation-state but in New Zealand the history teaching community has, by and large, been reluctant to engage with a national past and chosen to prioritise English history.
