He Waiata, a Song for the Sacred Mountains and Tribes of Whangārei
Members of the Hātea Kapa Haka group sing a waiata (song) during the unveiling of the Waka and Wave sculpture at the end of the Hīhīaua Peninsular. He waiata, a song for the sacred mountains and tribes of Whangārei Tēnei au ka piki ngā paringa pā tūwatawata, pā maioro o Maunga Parihaka, kia kite atu ngā hapū me ngā maunga tapu e Ka huri whakaterāwhiti ko taku aro ki te kapua hōkaia ki rūnga Maunga Rangitihi Tērā ko Ngāti Pūkenga me Te Tāwera e Ka rere atu au ki te kohu tatao ana i ngā kōhatu teitei o Maunga Manaia, ko Ngai Tāhūhū te iwi e Ka whakarērea te pou o te whare kia tau iho rā ki runga Maunga Rangiora Ko Takahiwai te papakāinga, ko Patuharakeke te hapū e Ka huri whakauta au kia rere atu ki runga Otaika ka tau ki Te Toetoe ko Pā-Te Aroha te marae e Ka hoki whakatehauāuru ki Maunga Tangihua, ki Maunga Whatitiri, ki aku huānga Te Uriroroi me Te Parawhau e Ka huri whakararo taku titiro ki a Ngāti Kahu, ngā uri a Torongare, ko Hurupaki, ko Ngārārātunua, ko Parikiore ngā maunga e Ka haere whakaterāwhiti ki Maunga Maruata me Maunga Pukepoto, kia tau iho ki roto o Ngāti Hau e Tēnei ka hoki ki Maunga Parihaka, kātahi au ka tau iho e Here I climb the embankments of the great fortress Mt.

James Cowan and the Frontiers of New Zealand History
James Cowan and the Frontiers of New Zealand History JAMES COWAN was perhaps the most ambiguous writer in what may be called the Frederick Maning tradition of 'representing' Maori to Pakeha. Like Maning and his epigones, Cowan made much of his privileged knowledge of Maori culture and history; unlike them, however, he combined this position with the devices of 'pioneer' literature. Cowan's combination of these and other tradi- tions problematized the writing of New Zealand history. His favoured subjects were the geographical and racial 'frontiers' of New Zealand in the nineteenth century; his use of various and not entirely compatible traditions of Pakeha writing placed him on a discursive 'frontier' as well. The histories Cowan wrote on this discursive frontier in the first four decades of this century are the subject of this article.1 My focus here is on the texts and the ways in which they were written, not on the persona of the writer. The self-fashioning aspects of Cowan's writings are fascinating, but I will not discuss them here. An inclination toward biographical interpretation predominates in New Zealand cultural history, and I want to suggest some of the possibilities of alternative approaches. I intend to look first at Cowan's methods as a historian, and the related matters of his style and his narrative structures. I then consider his general narrative of New Zealand history and race relations. I will then discuss the relations between Cowan's texts and their various contexts. Cowan's work was a syncretism of a wide range of contexts. -

Growing up Half-Caste
A Half-Caste on the Half-Caste in the Cultural Politics of New Zealand Paul Meredith Introduction Across cultures and time we can identify numerous acts of miscegenation and the creation of labels such as half-caste, half-breed, mulatto, octoroon, métis and chabine. (Young 1995) The altering of the essence of the original and the associated impurity often carried a stigma, a sometimes subtle and not so subtle sense of inferiority. To be of mixed descent has been a matter of shame and social reproach in many cultures, something to be concealed if possible. Many offspring of miscegenation have been shrouded in the notion of race1, particularly those that resulted from colonisation. It was through the category of race that colonialism was theoretically focussed, represented and justified in the nineteenth century and which fabricated a bipolar model of us/them, coloniser/colonised. Yet paradoxically it was also through racial relations that much cultural interaction was practiced. Indeed we need to acknowledge that other forms of racial distinction have worked simultaneously alongside this bipolar model, in particular the half-castes and their hybridity. In recent times I have sought to explore questions of identity for Maori, Pakeha and those who find themselves positioned ‘in-between’. A recurring response to my exploration by many is that I somehow I have a problem with my identity, an identity crisis, and that I am not quite sure who I am. I believe a key influence of such comment is the knowledge that I am a self-identified ‘half-caste’. Indeed a Maori doctor once facetiously diagnosed me as having cultural schizophrenia. -

I then turn to examine how the theatrical paramilitarised performances in the film are reflected in the on-going nature of colonial violence directed towards the Ngāi Tūhoe people, exemplified in the 2007 ‘anti-terror’ raids codenamed ‘Operation 8’, and the more recent (but less well known) raids that have targeted Tūhoe since 2007. I stipulate that such raids demonstrate a return to sites of ‘originary violence’ as per Irene Watson’s thesis (2009), where Crown sovereignty is violently reinscribed upon the frontier to reinforce the supremacy of the state. This discussion continues Vijay Devadas’ argument that Operation 8 revealed a ‘racialised sovereignty’ that constitutes the ‘legitimacy and power of state sovereignty … in Aotearoa’ (2008, 124).

Urban Maori Authorities
BYRON RANGIWAI The Impacts of Contemporary Embalming Practices on Tikanga Māori “The problem of death is strictly connected with the meaning of life” (Palermo & Gumz, 1994, p. 397). Introduction When Māui, in the form of a mokomoko, attempted to enter the sacred portal of Hinenuitepō, the goddess of death, in an attempt to achieve immortality, but was instead fatally crushed by her thighs, we are reminded forever that death is invariably part of life. When a Māori person dies, more often than not, a tangihanga at a marae ensues. In preparation for the tangihanga, Māori have become accustomed to taking their dead to a funeral home to be embalmed. Embalming is a chemical process whereby the corpse is sanitised and preserved which allows the whānau to proceed with the tangihanga, while maintaining a dignified image of the deceased. However, traditional Māori death customs were very different. The tūpāpaku was positioned seated, with knees drawn up to the chest, the arms embracing the legs, head facing forward. The corpse was addressed as though still alive and the ceremonial speakers stood to speak and face the decedent directly (this is of course still the case today, though the body is reclined). Following a traditional tangihanga, the corpse was disposed of in such a way as to allow the flesh to rot away. The bones were Byron Rangiwai holds a PhD in Māori and Indigenous Development from Auckland University of Technology. 230 The Impacts of Contemporary Embalming Practices on Tikanga Māori then prepared, by a tohunga, for the hāhunga ceremony where they were displayed, followed by secret interment in a cave, tree hollow, or other location. -
Lake Okataina Scenic Reserve Super Site Resource (Part 4): Cultural History
5. LAKE OKATAINA SCENIC RESERVE CULTURAL/HISTORY The name Okataina means the lake of laughter, a shortened form of the original name Te Moana-i-Kataina-a-Te Rangitakaroro, which means The Ocean Where Te Rangitakaroro Laughed. The name and its meaning relate to an incident, approximately 300 years ago, where the famous Chief Te Rangitakaroro and his warriors were resting on what is now a submerged rock. It is said that one member of his group referred to the lake as an ocean and this was seen as a great joke by the rest of the group. Their laughter echoed around the lake and now remains enshrined in its name, which for ease of pronunciation was shortened to Okataina. In previous times this area was settled by different iwi (tribes) who either pre-dated or derived from Te Arawa waka. According to Ngati Tarawhai history, the first people to settle in the area was the iwi called Te Tini o Maruiwi (the myriads of Maruiwi). They were followed by Te Tini o Ruatomore (the myriads of Ruatomore) who were to later adopt the name Ngati Kahupungapunga. They were followed by Rakeiao, whose chiefs were Ngataketake and his son Kahuupoko. Later the iwi was to adopt the name Kahuupoko. Soon after came Ngati Hinehuia and their chiefs Ngatata and Te Niho who lived in two Pa, Te Tawa and Ouruaroa. Then came Ngati Tarawhai, the iwi who now regard themselves as having tangata whenua (authority) status to this area, their main Pa being Te Koutu. It was at the time of Te Rangitakaroro, a son of Tarawhai (the eponymous ancestor of Ngati Tarawhai), that the contemporary name of the area came about (initial paragraph).
