Greeting We acknowledge our ancestors and all of our loved ones who have passed on to Paerau – sleep in peace. We will hold you within our hearts and memories forever. We also acknowledge our villages across the land. And we thank our keynote speakers and the contributors of articles from across the world. You have drawn on your links to the past, your tribal stories, customary practices and traditions – to bring distant horizons closer, thus allowing today’s generation a glimpse into ancient times and the traditional indigenous knowledge of our forbears. Indigenous knowledge and indicators of its well-being are evident in the growth of the many Māori- based initiatives currently operating throughout the country; and those responsible for effecting change deserve to be congratulated for their efforts. To the participants who rallied to the call of Ngā Pae o Te Māramatanga, thank you. Thank you also to our sponsors, and all those who worked tirelessly to ensure its success, greetings one and all.

    A DISCURSIVE ANALYSIS OF RANGATIRATANGA IN A MÄORI FISHERIES CONTEXT Anne- Marie Jackson* Abstract Rangatiratanga is a nodal discourse that subsumes a number of smaller discourses. This paper utilises critical discourse analysis to examine the emergent discourses of rangatiratanga within the context of Mäori fi sheries management. Three Tiriti o Waitangi translation texts and six Waitangi Tribunal texts relevant to fi sheries were selected as the texts. The main conclusions are that there are multiple understandings of the discourses of rangatiratanga that allows for certain meanings and not others, and while the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi retain the spirit of the Treaty, the principles in fact limit and restrict the full authority of rangatiratanga that is guaranteed under the Treaty. It remains to be seen whether rangatiratanga that is provided in a Mäori fi sheries context allows for the myriad of understandings discussed in this paper. Keywords rangatiratanga, fi sheries, Tiriti o Waitangi, critical discourse analysis Introduction northern Mäori chiefs, particularly those of the hapü of He Wakaminenga o Nu Tireni Te Tiriti o Waitangi/Treaty of Waitangi is New (the Confederation of the United Tribes of Zealand’s founding constitutional document New Zealand). There are two versions of the (Jackson, 2010). It was signed on 6 February Treaty: Mäori language (Tiriti o Waitangi) and 1840 between the Queen of England’s rep- English language (Treaty of Waitangi), and resentative Captain William Hobson and both versions contain references to fi sheries. * University of Otago, School of Physical Education, Dunedin.

    The Public Realm of Central Christchurch Narrative

    THE PUBLIC REALM OF CENTRAL CHRISTCHURCH NARRATIVE Written by Debbie Tikao, Landscape Architect and General Manager of the Matapopore Charitable Trust. Kia atawhai ki te iwi – Care for the people Pita Te Hori, Upoko – Ngāi Tūāhuriri Rūnanga, 1861 The Public Realm of Central Christchurch Narrative 1 2 CERA Grand Narratives INTRODUCTION This historical narrative weaves together Ngāi Tahu cultural values, stories and traditional knowledge associated with Ōtautahi (Christchurch) and the highly mobile existence of hapū and whānau groups within the Canterbury area and the wider landscape of Te Waipounamu (South Island). The focus of this historical narrative therefore is on this mobile way of life and the depth of knowledge of the natural environment and natural phenomena that was needed to navigate the length and breadth of the diverse and extreme landscape of Te Waipounamu. The story that will unfold is not one of specific sites or specific areas, but rather a story of passage and the detailed cognitive maps that evolved over time through successive generations, which wove together spiritual, genealogical, historical and physical information that bound people to place and provided knowledge of landscape features, mahinga kai and resting places along the multitude of trails that established the basis for an economy based on trade and kinship. This knowledge system has been referred to in other places as an oral map or a memory map, which are both good descriptions; however, here it is referred to as a cognitive map in an attempt to capture the multiple layers of ordered and integrated information it contains. This historical narrative has been written to guide the design of the public realm of the Christchurch central business area, including the public spaces within the East and South frames.

    Tangihanga: the Ultimate Form of Māori Cultural Expression— Overview of a Research Programme

    Tangihanga: The Ultimate Form of Māori Cultural Expression— Overview of a Research Programme Linda Waimarie Nīkora, Ngāhuia Te Awekōtuku, Mohi Rua, Pou Temara, Te Kahautu Maxwell, Enoka Murphy, Karyn McRae and Tess Moeke-Maxwell Tangi Research Programme, The University of Waikato Abstract Death, observed through the process of tangihanga (time set aside to grieve and mourn, rites for the dead) or tangi (to grieve and mourn), is the ultimate form of Māori cultural expression. It is also the topic least studied by Māori or understood by outsiders, even after televised funeral rites of Māori leaders and intrusive media engagements with more humble family crises. It has prevailed as a cultural priority since earliest European contact, despite missionary and colonial impact and interference, and macabre Victorian fascination. Change is speculative rather than confirmed. Tangi and death rituals have yet to be rigorously examined in the Māori oral canon, or in the archival and historic record that may be discarded or reinforced by current practice. As researchers we are committed to studying tangi, conscious of the belief that such work carries the inherent risk of karanga aituā (inviting misfortune or even death itself) by drawing attention to it. Contemporary Aotearoa New Zealand is constantly touched by aspects of tangi practice through popular media and personal exposure. This volatile subject nevertheless demands careful and comprehensive scrutiny in order to extend and enrich the knowledge base, reveal the logic that guides ritual, inform the wider New Zealand community and, more importantly, support the cultural, social, ritual, economic and decision- making processes of bereaved whānau (family, including extended family), people affiliated with marae (communal meeting complex) and iwi (tribe, tribal).

    The Impacts of COVID-19 on Tangihanga B. Rangiwai (Ngāi Tūhoe, Ngāti Porou, Ngāti Manawa, Ngāti Whare) A. Sciascia (Ngāruahine Rangi, Ngāti Ruanui, Te Ati Awa) Abstract The influenza pandemic of 1918, which killed 50 million people, has been acknowledged as the most significant disease event in human history. In response to the pandemic, the ways in which tangihanga (Māori funeral practices) were carried out changed. Bodies were immediately taken to the urupā (burial ground) without the customary extended ceremonies. Similarly, the impacts of the burgeoning COVID-19 situation has meant uncomfortable, albeit temporary, changes to Māori funeral practices. At the very worst part of the COVID-19 experience, tangihanga were essentially prohibited, and immediate burial or cremation became the norm. In some cases, tūpāpaku (bodies) were cremated with the intention that the remains would be returned to tribal burial grounds at a later date. This article will explore the impacts of COVID-19 on tangihanga and how technology has been used in this context with particular reference to Taranaki examples. 1 The Impacts of COVID-19 on Tangihanga Introduction Tangihanga is a customary practice that holds great significance within Māori communities and whānau (families) bringing multitudes of people together to farewell the dead. Travelling the breadth of the Aotearoa New Zealand to attend tangihanga is commonplace and represents the great lengths that whānau and Māori communities go to, to pay their respects. It is not unheard of for whānau to travel all hours of the night and morning to arrive on time and be first to the gateway of the marae (traditional gathering place) to be then welcomed in and invited to farewell the deceased through oratory, song and gifts.

    The Marae As an Information Ground Spencer Lilley Massey University New Zealand

    The Marae as an information ground Spencer Lilley Massey University New Zealand Marae are a gathering place for Māori (indigenous New Zealand people). Māori gather at marae for a variety reasons, including meetings, celebrations, tangi (funeral rites) and to socialise. Most marae are attached to a particular hapu (sub-tribe) and an iwi (tribe) will have many hapu as part of its structure. Many marae are in traditional areas associated with that particular hapu or iwi, but since the 1950s there has been mass urbanisation with 80% of the Māori population living in the cities. Urbanisation has led to the development of urban marae, with many of these still associated with an iwi. However, most major cities have urban marae that have no association with any particular iwi but are attached to urban Māori who no longer have links or easy access to their own marae. Although many of the activities that take place at the marae can be quite casual, there are also very formal ceremonial functions associated with a marae, particularly when welcoming and hosting visitors and the rituals associated with tangi. The marae cannot simply be described as a single information ground as described by Pettigrew1 (2000) Fisher (2004, 2005) who developed the concept As they are large complexes with many different zones and encounters taking place it qualifies as the ultimate Māori information conduit with a smorgasbord of information available for exchange. The main areas of a marae where information can be exchanged while carrying other activities are: the waharoa (gateway) the marae-atea, wharenui (meeting house), 1 Karen Pettigrew later became Karen Fisher wharemoe (sleeping quarters), wharekai (dining room), mahau (porch/veranda), wharehoroi (bathrooms), kauta (cookhouse), hangi pit (earth oven pit).

In contrast, we argue that from its inception and throughout much of the 1980s, the Waitangi Tribunal functioned primarily as an informal justice forum that assisted the New Zealand state's regulation of Maori Treaty activism during the transition from a Fordist to a Post-Fordist mode of capital accumulation.

    NGÄ KAUPAPA O TE PÄTI MÄORI the Maori Party Is for All

    Schedule A: NGÄ KAUPAPA O TE PÄTI MÄORI The Maori Party is for all citizens of this country. Its founding was an initiative of Mäori, te käkano i ruia mai i Rangiätea, for the benefit of all citizens of this land policies and practices derive from kaupapa tuku iho that are values that provide for the wellbeing of all and are in a constant state of enrichment and refinement as insights are gathered from new experiences and discoveries vision is of a nation of cultural diversity and richness where its unity is underpinned by the expression of tangata whenua-tanga by Mäori, Te käkano i ruia mai i Rangiätea and commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi as the founding document of this nation and to its whakapapa is steadfast. 1. Manaakitanga Manaakitanga is behaviour that acknowledges the mana of others as having equal or greater importance than one’s own, through the expression of aroha, hospitality, generosity and mutual respect. In doing so, all parties are elevated and our status is enhanced, building unity through humility and the act of giving. The Party must endeavour to express manaakitanga towards others, be they political allies or opponents, Mäori and non-Mäori organisations, taking care not to trample mana, while clearly defining our own. Tikanga of the Maori Party derived from Manaakitanga 1. to be recognised by Mäori as a political organisation that does manaaki the aspirations of Mäori; 2. to ensure that relationships between the Party and whänau, hapu, iwi and other Mäori organisations are elevating and enhancing; 3. to promote a fair and just society, to work for the elimination of poverty and injustice, and to create an environment where the care and welfare of one’s neighbour is still important.
