PAUL MOON Maketu’s Execution and the Extension of British Sovereignty in New Zealand The execution of a minor chief in 1842 in Auckland Prison for the crime of murder would normally be of little significance in the evolution of a nation’s statehood, unless it triggered some form or rebellion or even revolution. The history of colonial rule in the British Empire in the nineteenth century contains many examples of murderers receiving capital punishment for their crime. However, the constitutional significance of the Governor’s determination to execute the criminal was of substantial, principally because it signified the Crown’s willingness – at this relatively early stage in Crown Colony Government in New Zealand – to extend its jurisdiction so that British law would apply to Maori communities. Too often, it has been taken for granted that the Treaty of Waitangi asserted (initially in principle and gradually in practice) British sovereignty over Maori as well as Europeans in the country. However, what the Maketu example illustrates is that the limits of British sovereignty in New Zealand prior to 1842 were confined exclusively to the non-Maori population, as had been the expectation of the Colonial Office in the two years leading up to the conclusion of the Treaty. Background to the Murder Within a matter of months of the first signatures being inscribed on the Treaty of Waitangi, Hobson was on the lookout for a new capital for the country.1 The de facto capital at Russell was a ramshackle settlement that was unsuitable for a rapidly expanding settler population, and which was still Professor Paul Moon is Professor of History at Te Ara Poutama, the Faculty of Maori Development at AUT University, and a Fellow fof the Royal Historical Society, University College, London. -

BRIDGET WILLIAMS information sheet BOOKS The Treaty of Waitangi | Te Tiriti o Waitangi An Illustrated History (new edition) Claudia Orange Claudia Orange’s writing on the Treaty has contributed to New Zealanders’ understanding of this history for over thirty years. In this new edition of her popular illustrated history, Dr Orange brings the narrative of Te Tiriti/Treaty up to date, covering major developments in iwi claims and Treaty settlements – including the ‘personhood’ established for the Whanganui River and Te Urewera, applications for customary title in the foreshore and seabed, and critical matters of intellectual property, language and political partnership. New Zealand’s commitment to the Treaty claims process has far-reaching implications for this country’s future, and this clear account provides readers with invaluable insights into an all-important history. The Treaty of Waitangi by Claudia Orange was fi rst published in 1987 to national acclaim, receiving the Goodman Fielder Wattie Award. This widely respected history has since advanced through several new editions.

The Evolution of Maori Society, 1984- 2004
PAUL MOON A Chequered Renaissance: The Evolution of Maori Society, 1984- 2004 Introduction In the wake of Labour’s euphoric victory in the 1984 General Election, two conferences were swiftly organised by the new Government. The first was an economic summit that took place in September of that year. It sought to proclaim a new period of prosperity for the country – one which would be achieved primarily by means of an extensive liberalisation of the economy. The following month, the Hui Taumata was convened by the Minister of Maori Affairs, Koro Wetere. It was a summit of Maori leaders that its organisers hoped would herald a period of vigorous and substantial progress for Maori. Not since the height of the Kotahitanga movement in the 1890s had so many hapu and iwi representatives gathered together with the intent to foster Maori development in such a concerted manner. The overriding emphasis of the 1984 Hui Taumata was on the need for significantly increased Maori access to and management of resources. Maori – according to Prime Minister David Lange at the opening of the Hui – were to be the authors of their own subsequent development. 1 This emphasis on greater Maori self-determination and development, though, was not merely a spontaneous gesture on behalf of the Government. It was as much a reaction to the culmination of forces for change that had been building up for at least a decade. Its immediate paternity included the rise of activist groups such as Nga Tamatoa in the early 1970s, increased Maori politicisation in general, the inception of the Waitangi Tribunal in 1975, a growing Maori population, and the emergence of a strong and articulate Maori intelligentsia. -

PAUL MOON Links between Maori Cultural Well- Being and Participation in Sports: A Literature Review INTRODUCTION The purpose of this literature review is to explore various dimensions of the relationship between participation by Maori in sports, the creation and maintenance of sustainable cultural infrastructures, and the contribution of these elements to an enhanced sense and practice of cultural identity. This is achieved through undertaking a qualitative survey of the present domestic literature on the topic, as well as drawing on the more extensive corpus of international research which addresses these types of topics, themes, and links. The issue of cultural wellbeing has the potential for a profound impact on sustainable Maori success, which is one of the prescribed potential outcomes identified by Te Puni Kokiri for this research. This review will contribute to that process by providing specific analyses of the types of connections between participation in sports and the potential enhancement of cultural identity. Structure This review commences with a general introduction that prefigures some of the main themes that will be addressed, followed by the rationale behind the review, the methodological approach, and the definitions used. This is then succeeded by the five main sections of the review. Professor Paul Moon is Professor of History at Te Ara Poutama, the Faculty of Maori Development at AUT University, and a Fellow fof the Royal Historical Society, University College, London. 2 Links between Maori Cultural Well-Being and Participation in Sports: A Literature Review The first of these sections deals with the present status of Maori participation in sport in the country, and related aspects of Maori demographics. -

The Christchurch Mosque Murders and What Came After
SHARON MAZER From Performance to Performativity: The Christchurch Mosque Murders and What Came After Time, arrested by trauma, unwinds toward interpretation. (Nichols 2007:95)1 On Friday 15th March 2019, a white Australian man armed with assault weapons attacked Muslim worshippers at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand.2 Fifty-one people were murdered. Another 49 were injured. Families and their communities were devastated. Almost a year later, they are evermore deeply into the hard, impossibly sad process of recovery. The city of Christchurch, still reeling from the catastrophic earthquakes of 2010-2011, took the blow to its determinedly imperturbable façade hard, but is now moving on. Aotearoa New Zealand likewise. Staged as a series of performances, the attack and its aftermath were also acutely performative. The gunman transmitted the images and sounds of his white- supremacist-fuelled, assault-weaponized violence via 1 The present article builds on a paper originally produced for the Pacific Publics: Transpacific Performance working group at ASTR (2019). My thanks to Natascha Diaz-Cardona and Mihailo Ladevac for their feedback on an early draft of this paper, to Teena Brown-Pulu and Richard Pamatatau for their encouragement, and to Paul Moon and Melissa Derby for their support in seeing it through to publication. 2 Media coverage of this event has been extensive both nationally and internationally. In general, I will not cite specific sources unless it seems necessary and/or useful. Following the lead of our Prime Minister, I will not name the gunman here.

Locating Biographies Within a National Encyclopedia Jock Phillips
2 INDIVIDUAL LIVES AND NATIONAL TRUTHS: LOCATING BIOGRAPHIES WITHIN A NATIONAL ENCYCLOPEDIA JOCK PHILLIPS I must begin with an admission. As a historian I have long held a scepticism about the place of biography in historical studies. My sense of the role of the historian is to present the larger patterns, to paint and explain the huge social forces, the determinative cultural and political ideas, and the economic developments which forged the world of the past. Individual lives are simply the flotsam and jetsam floating above these massive historical waves. Even major political leaders or seminal thinkers need to be explained against wider social and cultural currents. In this view of the historian’s mission, dictionaries of national biography become extremely useful reference works, to check the details of particular lives. They are useful for case studies, for providing the telling example. They do not contribute in themselves to the larger generalisations about nations or eras. That is what I firmly believed until I became involved in the project to digitise the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography (DNZB). This opened up new ways of using the dictionary and its database, and created the possibility of using the individual biographies in the dictionary to inform the history of the nation itself. What had been a purely reference work, used only by historians to check biographical details, could become a tool for answering new questions central to understanding a national history. A dictionary of biography might become the biography of a nation. This discovery is the major focus of this chapter. 21 ‘TRUE Biographies of Nations?’ Although a two-volume Dictionary of New Zealand Biography had been published in 1940 under the editorship of the journalist and librarian G. -
