    A Kaupapa Māori study of the positive impacts of syncretism on the development of Christian faith among Māori from my faith-world perspective Byron William Rangiwai A thesis submitted to the University of Otago in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) He mea whakaritea e Reverend Mahaki Albert mā roto i ngā karakia i mua i taku tuku ki ngā kaimāka June 2019 Dedication This work is dedicated to my late maternal grandmother, Rēpora Marion Brown (nee Maki) who inspired and maintained my faith in the Divine. Born in 1940. Passed away 1 December 2017. i Tangihanga Nan, you lie in the wharemate At Patuheuheu marae Adorned with a taonga That I gave you A pounamu Hei Tiki Kahurangi grade—fine, light And without blemish Your passing cuts deep Into my fragile, broken heart The tears sting my cheeks The hūpē dries on my black t-shirt Like the trails of a dozen snails Glistening in the summer sun The grief drains me, vampirically Like a squirming black leach Pulsating and feasting On the arteries of my aroha Its sharp mouthpiece gnawing Intensely and purposefully Images of you unwell and Dying, haunt my thoughts I recall your suffering Each time I close my eyes Hospital scenes and last moments Projected on my eyelids In High Definition realness When you made your descent Beneath Papatūānuku’s skin ii I watched from afar and wept Hinenuitepō’s embrace And Jesus’ promise of heaven Did little to comfort me Your chrome nameplate And myriad plastic flowers Now mark your resting place My whānau are my healers The rongoā for my pain Their presence and love Begins the healing As does the incessant crying Behind closed doors When I am alone Moe mai rā e te māreikura o te whakapono.

  • The Treaty of Waitangi Is 'A Simple Nullity'
    ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS appreciative of the resources of the Davis Law Library and the attentiveness to my requests shown by Mary-Rose Russell, Stephanie Carr and their staff. In the international community of scholars with a special interest in legal history and/or indigenous peoples’ rights, there are many from whom I have learnt and with whom I have engaged in interesting conversations. Without being Introduction at all exhaustive, I would like to mention Hamar Foster and John McLaren from Victoria, British Columbia; Joshua Getzler, Paul McHugh and Andrew Sharp in the United Kingdom; and friends at the University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, who inspired me in the past and continue to do so today, especially TheT reaty of Waitangi is ‘a simple nullity’ Chris Maina Peter. Above all, though, I owe a significant debt to people at the Law Faculty of Victoria University of Wellington – the university that first nurtured my intellectual life in the 1960s – and to the New Zealand Law Foundation ‘Lost Cases Project’. I have been assisted by comments from Mark Hickford, Shaunnagh Dorsett, Grant Morris, Richard Boast (who also has worked long and hard for Ngati Toa in his law practice), Claire Charters and Anaru Erueti. I offer special thanks to Megan Simpson for her skills in unearthing important information. I began writing up my research whilst I was a Visiting Fellow at Exeter College, University of Oxford – a college of which Hugh Kawharu was a graduate and an Honorary Fellow. I had a wonderful two terms at Exeter and greatly enjoyed time n the 1840s, there were a number of Ngati Toa settlements with the Rector, Frances Cairncross, and members of the Senior Common Room.

  • Nga Kooti Whenua: the Dynamics of a Colonial Encounter
    Copyright is owned by the Author of the thesis. Permission is given for a copy to be downloaded by an individual for the purpose of research and private study only. The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. NGA KOOTI WHENUA THE DYNAMICS OF A COLONIAL ENCOUNTER Grant Young A thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History, Massey University, Albany February 2003 ii ABSTRACT The Native Land Court was created to establish certain, stable and alienable title to Maori land but it struggled to do so and was regularly re-invented from 1862 to 1928 to deal with crises which undermined its role in meeting the demands of colonial politicians for land. Inside the courtroom, Maori asserted and argued complex claims to land, continuing a long tradition of negotiating relationships between distinct tribal and kinship groups. To deal with these claims and establish a settled title, the Court was forced to navigate a path through particular disputes to individual pieces of land rather than impose its own conceptualisation of customary rights. This thesis concludes that Maori customary rights to land cannot be generalised as a model of abstract rules. Rather they were a practical application of tribal political and civil rights negotiated in particular circumstances, both geographically and historically. Maori customary rights to land were fundamentally about relationships, how people interacted with each other over access to resources and land. This thesis also concludes that the Court demonstrates in the colonial context, power was never absolutely in the hands of imperial authorities.

  • Achieving the Protection of Māori Freehold Land from Public Works Acquisition
    “Enough is Enough!” Achieving the Protection of Māori Freehold Land from Public Works Acquisition Alice Eager A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Bachelor of Laws (Honours) at the University of Otago, Te Whare Wānanga o Otāgo October 2015 Acknowledgments Firstly, thank you to my supervisor Associate Professor Jacinta Ruru for providing the English girl the opportunities to discover a passion for Māori land law. I have learnt more than just the law, both in your classes and having you as a supervisor. Your constant enthusiasm encourages me to continue to explore this area of law further – and it is reassuring I am not alone in my excitement for reservations! Thank you also to my family for their unwavering support in everything I decide to do and for loving me regardless. A special thank you to my sister Ellen for coming to check on me and for buying me scones and coffee on my crazy days. To Jeremy, for enduring a year’s worth of my complaining about my dissertation, getting up early to make me study, providing much-needed motivation at the end and those meticulous editing skills. To Tom, for all the times we spent complaining on Facebook when we could have been writing our dissertations – the pain was shared! And to all those who had the kindness to look interested when I cornered him or her and tried to share my excitement about public works legislation. The quote in the title of this dissertation comes from Mrs Grace’s submission to the Board of Inquiry regarding the acquisition of her land.
