  • The Pacifist Traditions of Parihaka
    Reclaiming the Role of Rongo: The Pacifist Traditions of Parihaka. Introduction: This paper seeks to introduce a form of radical politics centred on the role of Rongo, the Māori god of peace. As part of the focus on Rongo, this paper will discuss the pacifist traditions of Parihaka, the Day of Reconciliation and what the future trajectory for Parihaka may hold. The theoretical analysis will encompass a discourse analysis of the traditional waiata or Maori songs, as well as highlight the living history component of Parihaka by following an autoethnographic approach. The central question behind this paper asks whether the pacifism of the past influenced by the scriptures is less influential and needs to be replaced by an understanding of Rongo – a revolutionary and radical form of nonviolent politics. History and context of Parihaka: Parihaka was established in 1867 in Taranaki, the west coast of the north island of New Zealand. It wasn’t the first Maori settlement of peace in Taranaki, it followed on from other attempts to establish a peaceful community at Warea, Ngākumikumi, Te Puru, Kēkēua and Waikoukou. The leaders of the movement Te Whiti o Rongomai and Tohu Kakahi were well versed in the bible and decided to provide refuge to the landless Maori of Taranaki who had suffered the land confiscations in the 1860’s. Although the land was confiscated, it wasn’t enforced north of the Waingōngoro river from 1865 to 1878. (Riseborough, 1989, p. 31) The influence of Parihaka grew overtime, and it became difficult for government officials to bypass Te Whiti and Tohu, who were patient on waiting for their reserves that were promised to them.

  • Introducing the Atua Matua Maori Health Framework
    Introducing the Atua Matua Maori Health Framework Ihirangi Heke (PhD) Waikato Tainui ! Introduction Connecting health and M"ori concepts of the environment is no small task. Not only has a large amount of M"ori knowledge been lost over the years, but what is retained is sometimes jealously protected and intended for only a select few tribal recipients. Likewise, an attempt to conceptualise the range of M"ori interpretations of health, may well be inappropriate in terms of encouraging iwi (tribal) definitions. Furthermore, many non-M"ori are left wondering how then can they feasibly expect to operate in this domain considering the current status of M"ori engagement with not only health but the environment. There is a way forward. ! The starting point is to develop relationships between iwi and health promoters in a district by district format. While the information will remain the knowledge of those that produced it i.e., iwi M"ori, a sense of sharing and awareness amongst M"ori, in terms of education and language retention, is at the highest point it has been in many years. Due to the M"ori renaissance to reclaim pre-European authentic function, M"ori are making huge gains in reconnecting to environmental knowledge suggesting that increased access to authentic M"ori health approaches may be achievable. One of the outcomes of this renaissance has been the development of an approach that keeps the iwi centric nature of health related knowledge intact i.e., the development of a framework that can be populated with iwi specific interpretations. The approach, known as the Atua Matua Maori Health Framework (Deity to Human Expression) can seamlessly include non-M"ori interpretations of similar environments through M"ori concepts i.e., recognition of the importance of waterways, mountains and star navigation.
