    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Research Commons@Waikato USING TWITTER IN AN INDIGENOUS LANGUAGE An analysis of te reo Mäori tweets Te Taka Keegan* Paora Mato† Stacey Ruru‡ Abstract Language revitalization theory suggests that one way to improve the health of a language is to increase the number of domains where the language is used. Social network platforms provide a variety of domains where indigenous-language communities are able to communicate in their own languages. Although the capability exists, is social networking being used by indigenous-language communities? This paper reports on one particular social networking platform, Twitter, by using two separate methodologies. First, Twitter statistics collated from the Indigenous Tweets website are analysed. The data show that languages such as Basque, Haitian Creole, Welsh, Irish Gaelic, Frisian and Kapampangan do have a presence in the “Twittersphere”. Further analysis for te reo Mäori (the Mäori language) shows that tweets in te reo Mäori are rising and peak when certain events occur. The second methodology involved gathering empirical data by tweeting in te reo Mäori. This served two purposes: it allowed an ancillary check on the validity of the Indigenous Tweets data and it allowed the opportunity to determine if the number of indigenous- language tweets could be infl uenced by the actions of one tweeter. * Senior Lecturer, Computer Science Department, University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand.

  • Māori Mental Health Consumers' Sensory Experience of Kapa Haka
    Māori mental health consumers’ sensory experience of Kapa Haka and its utility to occupational therapy practice. Research article Māori mental health consumers’ sensory experience of Kapa Haka and its utility to occupational therapy practice. Tania Hollands, Daniel Sutton, Valerie Wright-St. Clair, Raymond Hall. Abstract Sensory modulation is an emerging occupational therapy intervention within adult mental health services. However, cultural variations in the use of sensory modulation have not been directly explored. In New Zealand, the traditional performing arts of kapa haka are used within Māori services as a cultural intervention. This qualitative study explored Māori mental health consumers’ sensory experiences during kapa haka via in-depth interviews. Participants experienced feeling safe, being grounded in their bodies, and having an enhanced cultural identity. The findings support the use of culturally-responsive sensory modulation activities within occupational therapy practice and highlight the need for further research. Key words Sensory modulation, cultural responsiveness Reference Hollands, T., Sutton, D., Wright-St. Clair, V., & Hall, R. (2015).

  • SPIRIT and SONG of the MAORI of AOTEAROA {NEW ZEALAND} ANN CLEMENTS “Kei a Te Po Te Timatatanga O Te Waiatatanga Mai a Te Atua
    SPIRIT AND SONG OF THE MAORI OF AOTEAROA {NEW ZEALAND} ANN CLEMENTS “Kei a te Po te timatatanga o te waiatatanga mai a te Atua. Ko te Ao, ko te Ao marama, ko te Ao turoa.”1 It was in the night that the gods sang the world into existence. From the world of light, into the world of music. MAORI are the indigenous people of Aotearoa (island of the “long white cloud”) or New Zealand. According to Maori mythology, music called the world into creation. As soon as the gods turned night into light, they turned light into music. The connotation of this story is that when life fi rst appeared, it brought with it the complexities of living experience, including emotions that are most easily and genuinely expressed through music. All Maori songs (waiata) stem from the emotions that the gods displayed during creation. “There are songs of sorrow, anger and lament; of loneliness, desire and joy; of peace and love.”2 These aesthetic attributes of music echo music’s functions and uses globally. Humans use music to defi ne, represent, symbolize, and unify or disrupt society. Music is an expression of our social, political, spiritual, and self and group identity. Within Maori culture, music plays all of these roles—from its imperative position in sacred (tapu) ritual to its unifying task in the preservation, creation, and demonstration of group identity. Music is a primary social adhesive that has sustained Maori culture and heritage for hundreds of years.
