  • Journal of a Rambler. the Journal of John Boultbee. Edited by June Starke
    286 REVIEWS Journal of a Rambler. The Journal of John Boultbee. Edited by June Starke. Oxford University Press, Auckland, 1986. lxxviii, 225 pp., maps, illustrations. N.Z. price: $75.00. JOHN BOULTBEE celebrated his thirty-fourth birthday on a ship anchored off Menado, on the north-western coast of the Celebes. In a rather forlorn mood he surveyed his life's achievements and found little to be proud of: 'I cannot but look back with some dissatisfaction at the lost time. I have no more means now than I had from the day of my birth!' His journal abounds with such self-denigration, most of it entirely warranted. In terms of his own age, he was a ne'er-do-well. In terms of ours he was fickle, restless, impatient and unskilled. He moved around the world in an ap- parently aimless way, dependent for survival on the goodwill of others and on the bodily health which enabled him to take on such tough, seafaring jobs as came his way. There was, then, something lacking in the personality of the man. Boultbee had his own explanations. He put it down, variously, to a 'fondness for change', a 'pro- pensity for novelty', and an 'over-heated imagination, which exceeds the strength, or more properly speaking the firmness, of my judgement'. Towards the conclusion of his Journal he fell back to blaming his mother and father, gently chiding them for being too indulgent and lax with discipline. The curious paradox is that such a feckless drifter kept a regular diary, and at the end of his wanderings took the trouble to write up a journal which is lively, readable, observant and opinionated, if a little reckless with chronology.

  • European Responses to Indigenous Violence in the Tasman World, C.1769-1850S
    ‘Of Red War and Little Else’: European Responses to Indigenous Violence in the Tasman World, c.1769-1850s Samuel Gordon Gardiner Ritchie A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Victoria University of Wellington 2013 ii iii For my Michelle and our Matilda Dylan arohanui, arohamai iv Abstract Europeans responded to indigenous internecine violence in a variety of ways in the Tasman world from first contact to the middle of the nineteenth cen- tury. Whereas extant historiography has previously addressed European responses to Māori and Aboriginal violence in geographic and temporal iso- lation, a comparison spanning time and space augments knowledge of these responses. Violence was not the only aspect of indigenous societies Europe- ans responded to, nor was indigenous violence the only justification for colonisation. However an investigation of the ways in which Europeans rep- resented and responded to indigenous violence enables a better understand- ing of the processes of the colonisation of the Tasman world. Indigenous internecine violence included cannibalism, infanticide, inter- gender violence, and inter-tribal warfare. Through a wide variety of Euro- pean observations of this violence, this thesis identifies an initial conceptu- alisation of both New Zealand Māori and Aboriginal peoples of Australia as violent, cannibal ‘savages’. This conceptualisation was used to justify both colonisation and the related evangelical and colonial administrative attempts to suppress indigenous violence, as internecine violence was deemed ‘un- civilised’, unchristian, and unacceptable. Europeans attempted to suppress indigenous violence as it was seen both as an impediment to colonisation and, relatedly, as an inhibitor to the ‘redemption’ of indigenous peoples.

Maori, whales and "whaling": an ongoing relationship. Conservation Advisory Science Notes No. 308, Department of Conservation, Wellington. Keywords: whaling, history, Polynesian navigation, Maori philosophy, Maori history. 1. Polynesian navigation The ancestors of modern Polynesians are believed to have originated in main- land Asia and moved south before island-hopping across the Pacific. Starting from Taiwan, they voyaged through the Philippines and Indonesia to western Polynesia then moved, island to island, to eastern Polynesia, the Cook Islands and Tuamotus, where the culture we recognise as Maori became established. From eastern Polynesia, and particularly Raiatea, they radiated to the north- ern and southern limits of the Polynesian triangle, Hawaii and New Zealand, respectively. These journeys were physically and intellectually demanding, requiring a sophisticated knowledge of the construction and use of large dou- ble-hulled voyaging canoes and the techniques necessary to find their way to various islands, and then to safely return home. The navigators of the canoes were of high or chiefly status, thus:"He tangata matauranga nga kaiwhakatere o nga waka". Their knowledge was passed down by oral tradition from gen- eration to generation, often through navigators' clan or "guild" systems such as existed in Tonga.
