We hope to see you We have giant mountains, again soon! volcanoes, stunning beaches, lakes, glaciers, rainforests, lively cities MARMITE and lots of sheep! ON TOAST The friendly Kiwis as I like to call them, would not be happy if you confused them with Australians! New Zealanders are dierent. For one thing we prefer Marmite to Vegemite! Vegemite is Australian, but Marmite is British. Have you tried it? It’s a brown-black paste that some people find kind of gross, but can be really yummy! AUCKLAND IS THE LARGEST CITY. IN NEW ZEALAND 4 TWO MAIN ISLANDS New Zealand has two main islands, North Island and South Island. I live on North Island in the capital city of Wellington. The largest city, Auckland, is on the top end of North Island, while we’re at the bottom. On the South Island, Christchurch and Dunedin are my favorite places. Can you find them on the map? To travel to the South Island, my family likes to take a slow trip on a ferry or boat, but sometimes we go by airplane. The Southern Island also has the amazing Southern Alps. The Alps have 18 peaks, which are over 3000 meters above sea level. The name of our country comes from the Dutch “Nieuw Zeeland”, which means "new sea land".We have only about four million people living here, which makes New Zea- land one of the world’s least crowded countries in the world. RUGBY, VOLCANOES AND BARBIES Have you heard of rugby? It’s a sport similar to American football, but rugby players don’t wear helmets. They just wear shorts, t-shirt and shoes! Rugby is not just a sport in New Zealand, but it’s part of the country's identity! When there’s a big game on, all our family and many friends gather at my grandmother’s large house, where we watch the game on the tele and have a barbie where we cook meat over a fire. We eat bangers (sausages), kebabs - which is meat and veges on a skewer - with salad and bread. We hang out around the pool and us kids play ball games outside. It’s lots of fun! Did you know we have some active volcanoes in our country - like Mount Ruapehu in the middle of the North Island. Our.country is part of the Pacific Rim of Fire where many earthquakes and volcanic eruptions happen. We haven’t had a scary one that I remember, though. I’m very glad of that! One of my fave things to do, is to put on my togs and jandals and head o to the beach for the day! We have so many stunning beaches here! A really cool thing about Kiwi-land is that there’s nothing much here that can kill you! You can set o for a tramp in the bush, happy to know there are no venomous snakes, lethal spiders, or crocodiles. That works for me! 5 NORTH ISLAND SPLENDOR CATHEDRAL COVE Cathedral Cove is on North Island, near a place called Hot Water Beach which was used as the tunnel through which the children first re-enter Narnia in the movie, “The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian”. The Māori name Te Whanganui-A-Hei (the Great Bay of Hei) refers to a man named Hei, who supposedly chose the area around Mercury Bay for his tribe to live. He called Motueka Island "Te Kuraetan-ga-o- taku-Ihu" (the outward curve of my nose)! WAI-O-TAPU Hot springs, mud pools and geysers are found in many places across Rotorua. The Wai-O-Tapu hot springs are amazingly colorful. The smell of sulphur is characteristic of volcanic activity. 6 MOUNT COOK Mount Cook is the highest mountain in New Zealand. It lies in the Southern Alps, the mountain range which runs right across South Island. There was a large rock fall in 1991 that reduced the height of the mountain by about 10m. SOUTH ISLAND SPLENDOR FRANZ JOSEF GLACIER The Franz Josef Glacier is 12 km long and ends near the Tasman Sea. German explorer, Julius von Haast discovered the glacier in 1865 and named it after the Austrian emperor, Franz Josef I. It’s a stunningly beautiful wonder of nature! 7 WHERE IS NEW ZEALAND? New Zealand is part of the region of Oceania. Besides the two main islands, which are connected by the Cook Strait, there are more than 10000 smaller islands in the Pacific Ocean. Check out this cool picture taken from space. Oceania is made up of fourteen countries: Australia, Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, and 11 others plus some smaller territories. THIS IS WHAT NEW ZEALAND LOOKS LIKE FROM SPACE! You’ll probably find that driving anywhere in New Zealand takes twice as long because you are so busy looking at the view - the landscape is so amazing!! New Zealand’s highest point is Mount Cook which is 3,7 m above sea level. The lowest point is the Taieri Plains, which are 2 m below sea-level. The plains are in Otago to the southwest of Dunedin. Can you find Dunedin and Mount Cook on the map on page 11? Did you know that over 90% of the New Zealand land mass is submerged under water? Isn’t that amazing? Kiwis almost faint when the temperature hits 30 degrees Celsius - that’s 86 Farenheit! New Zealand has a mild climate and doesn’t usually get very hot. There is lots of rainfall and often, THE WEATHER you’ll get four seasons in one day! The west coast of South Island is usually extremely cold and wet, especially during the winter season. Christchurch is the driest city in the country. I love going to see the snow and the amazing Franz Josef Glacier on South Island. Wellington, where I live, is the coolest and wettest city - I don’t mind the rain though.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Eating as a Cultural Performance in Early 21st Century New Zealand: An Exploration of the Relationships between Food and Place A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Social Anthropology at Massey University, Auckland, New Zealand Moira Markwick 2009 Abstract During New Zealand’s comparatively short history as a nation, its cuisine has undergone great development. The culinary traditions brought by the early settlers, from both Eastern Polynesia and then Britain, offered a relatively limited variety, however, since the late 20th century New Zealand’s foodways have undergone a revolution; today a smorgasbord of international cuisines awaits our selection. This gastronomic range is the result of a number of factors which include the influx of diverse immigrants, increased air travel by New Zealanders, the return of military personnel from overseas and globalisation. To conduct this investigation of the relationships between people, identity, food and place I approach the topic from three perspectives. Firstly, I examine how exotic foods are used to link immigrants to New Zealand with loved ones in their homelands, and also how the same foods act as a bridge between those immigrants and other New Zealanders. Secondly, I look at how exotic foods serve to connect New Zealanders with, generally, far-away places, as through its evocative powers food has the ability to transport ordinary people to places where they may rather be.
  • Signifier of Kiwi Identity: Would the Real Buzzy Bee Please Step Forward

    Signifier of Kiwi Identity: Would the Real Buzzy Bee Please Step Forward

    Signifier of Kiwi Identity: Would the Real Buzzy Bee Please Step Forward LINDSAY NEILL AND MARILYN WARING hile Aotearoa New Zealand’s first people, Māori, have populated New Zealand for almost one thousand years,1 since Wthe nation’s colonisation during the 1840s, people from Aotearoa New Zealand have come to be known by many identifiers. Those identifiers have included ‘Pākehā, Kiwi, Fernlander[s] and Māorilanders’2 as well as ‘Anzac, Digger, Moalander, even Pig Islander[s]’.3 It was not until the First World War that ‘Kiwi’ became a popular identifier of people from Aotearoa New Zealand. Like many other socio-cultures, Kiwi identity is enhanced by materiality. In Aotearoa New Zealand, that materiality is known as ‘kiwiana’. Most items of kiwiana hold nostalgic connotations. Those connotations link kiwiana to the male-centric worldview values4 developed during the nation’s colonisation, as well as within the period in New Zealand’s history known as ‘the golden weather’.5 The golden Public History Review Vol 26 (2019): 38-64 ISSN: 1833-4989 © UTSePress and the authors Public History Review | Neill & Waring weather lasted between 1949 and 1965, a period that realised unprecedented and sustained economic growth. That growth reinforced the nation’s mythologised egalitarianism and through economic ‘plenty’ created a nostalgic point in time that is commonly referred to as ‘the good old days’. The good old days are fondly remembered because they were a time when you could leave the front door to your home unlocked and nothing untoward would happen. Today, items of kiwiana, including the Buzzy Bee, reflect that nostalgic rose-tinted view of being Kiwi and perpetuate many of the Kiwi characteristics inherited from early settler culture.

    The Trademark Protection of Country Brands: Insights from New Zealand

    The current issue and full text archive of this journal is available at www.emeraldinsight.com/1753-8335.htm JPMD 1,3 The trademark protection of country brands: insights from New Zealand 292 Magdalena Florek Department of Trade and Marketing, Poznan University of Economics, Poznan, Poland, and Andrea Insch Department of Marketing, School of Business, University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand Abstract Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present the opportunities for and challenges of the trademark protection of country brands. Design/methodology/approach – Insights into the challenges and possibilities of country brand trademark protection are identified using New Zealand as a case study. This evaluation is divided into four sections. In the first section, the relations and differences between brands and trademarks are discussed in the context of the country trademark. Then, possible sources of country trademarks are identified. Next, the benefits and challenges of creating and managing country trademarks are discussed based on the case of the New Zealand Fern Mark. The final section addresses the determiners of country trademark implementation and offers recommendations for country brand managers. Findings – This study makes the case that a nation’s heritage is a rich source of country trademarks. The selection of country trademarks must ensure that the chosen symbol conveys meaning and associations that serve a country’s often broad range of offerings and resonate with a diversity of stakeholder audiences. Practical implications – Governance structures need to be established to manage a country trademark to ensure the country brand’s integrity. This includes a licensing system and protocols to prevent successive governments from altering the brand’s essence which would destroy its equity built up over time.

    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: the BROWNING of the ALL BLACKS: PACIFIC PEOPLES, RUGBY, and the CULTURAL POLITICS of IDENTITY IN

    ABSTRACT Title of dissertation: THE BROWNING OF THE ALL BLACKS: PACIFIC PEOPLES, RUGBY, AND THE CULTURAL POLITICS OF IDENTITY IN NEW ZEALAND Andrew David Grainger, Doctor of Philosophy, 2008 Dissertation directed by: Professor David L. Andrews Department of Kinesiology In this dissertation I examine how the complex, and often contradictory, discourses of being a ‘Pacific person’ are played out in, and through, New Zealand rugby. In particular, I interrogate how these discourses—manifest in various forms of public expression—structure, regulate, and, potentially, challenge traditional notions of nationality. In the opening chapters I first explore how liberal values and the goals of inclusion and pluralism have been an important part of defining New Zealand identity. In this regard Pacific peoples are playing an ever-more important role. I suggest, however, that an emergent ‘Pacific multiculturalism’ actually reinforces white cultural power. It also masks the way national belonging has been racialized in New Zealand, and the role rugby has, and continues to, play in inscribing the Otherness of Pacific peoples. What I suggest is needed is alternative or resistant models of ‘culture.’ In the concluding chapters I turn to the notion of diaspora as one potential alternative. Rearticulating the insightful ideas of Paul Gilroy in my penultimate chapter, I argue that diaspora can be productively adapted as a model to comprehend the lives, travels, migrations, and significances of Pacific athletes. I suggest they provide important diasporic resources for rearticulating modes of belonging that exceed national boundaries. Methodologically, this project is a discursive analysis of the public discourses of Pacificness circulating in a diverse range of documentary, literary, and media sources.
