He grew up in Te Kuiti and affiliates to Te Kuiti Pā. He resides in Ormond, Gisborne, with his partner and children. Rewi would like to thank Ngā Pae o Te Māramatanga Summer Internship, 2016 / 2017 for funding this research. As well as acknowledging Dr Carla Houkamau, Business School, University of Auckland for her supervision and Te Pou Tikanga o Te Wairua Tapu for his support and guidance at Mangatu, Whatatutu. Abstract Essential to defining the centrality of cultural richness / wealth from a Māori perspective is understanding how values are applied in Māori society. Firstly, the intention of this research is to attempt to define some examples of cultural richness from a Māori viewpoint, along with describing the meaning of whanaungatanga, manaakitanga and aroha. Secondly, I will detail the context of cultural richness from a personal standpoint; examining some of the values I was exposed to while growing up in Te Kuiti during the 1970s and 1980s. In addition, providing a definition of mātauranga Māori and some social factors used to define cultural richness from a personal perspective. Thirdly, I examine Mangatu, Whatatutu as a Māori community that exemplifies cultural richness through the teachings / philosophies of Te Hāhi Wairua Tapu.1 The recital of karakia2 and performing waiata mōteatea3 - inherently practicing the values of whanaungatanga, manaakitanga and aroha through the tūāpapa4 Te Hāhi Wairua Tapu has built in their community. The concluding stage of this study will provide a definition of social-capital and how the above 5 values might be incorporated in urban-gardens in Aotearoa – New Zealand. 1 Branch of Te Hāhi Ringatū. Te Hāhi Ringatū was founded in 1868 by Te Kooti Arikirangi Te Turuki. The symbol for the movement is an upraised hand or “Ringa Tū” in te reo Māori. 2 Prayers, incantations. 3 Ancient songs and chants relating to Te Hāhi o Te Wairua Tapu and Mangatu, Whatatutu region. 4 Foundation. 5 The growing of food in large urban centers / cities in Aotearoa – New Zealand. 1 Introduction Conventional notions of wealth are mainly measured by your income, your possessions6 and your consumption habits7. Supporting the ideology, the more money you have, the more you can buy and the happier you become. Thus, reinforcing the concept of western models of economic development which are characterized by the belief that economic growth8 should be the universal model for determining wealth. Although money and income does provide choices, and certain amount of money is required to meet basic living requirements. Māori perceptions of wealth are personal, situational, relative and more importantly cultural. This describes an entire way of life defined as Māori cultural richness. As well as, including how we, as Māori frame our unique worldview grounded in te reo, tikanga practices, art and spiritual / philosophical belief systems. Making the connection between how we relate to the environment, how we interpret the universe and our attitudes towards working with people. This research derives its definition of cultural richness from my personal experiences while growing up in Te Kuiti.9 Research Approach For the most part, I have adopted a qualitative research approach, while embedding the practices of Kaupapa Māori research in this paper. Professor Linda Smith (2012) defines: ‘Kaupapa Māori research, is an attempt to retrieve that space and to focus through which Maori people, as communities of the researched and as new communities of the researchers, have been able to engage in a dialogue about setting new directions for the priorities, policies, and practices of research for, by and with Maori.’ (Smith, 2012, p 185). Sections I and II of the this research, will draw from personal experiences while growing up in Te Kuiti. Thus, writing this paper mostly in the first person, to validate my understanding of cultural richness. Therefore, proceeding personal prologue will delineate the values of whanaungatanga, manaakitanga and aroha; defining what these values mean to me from an introspective exploration of my childhood while growing up in Te Kuiti during the 1970s and 1980s. As well, I will be using the supporting literature of Durie (2011), Marsden (1992), Moko-Mead (2003), Royal (2007), Walker (1993) and Smith (1996) throughout this paper to expand upon my definition of the above-mentioned values – and to describe mātauranga Māori. Reinforced by my explanation of some of the contemporary literature relating to poverty, social capital and materialism. 6 Home and car. 7 What you buy, eat and drink. 8 Achieved through neo-liberal and free market policies. 9During the 1970s and 1980s. 2 Included also in the text is ‘italicized’ in text quotes to highlight text and to emphasize terminology contained within this paper. Also, direct quotes from my informants have not been used in this research; primarily to respect my informant’s privacy. Nevertheless, in saying that, I will be using some of the insights from my mentor from Mangatu, Whatatutu10 to assist with providing me with examples of whanaungatanga, manaakitanga and aroha, as detailed in section three of this research. In the same way, I have utilized Doherty’s (2009) ‘ranga framework’11 including the related concepts of ‘maternal mātauranga’ and ‘paternal mātauranga’ as threads to weave together epistemologies about my mātauranga self-lens. Thus, elaborating further upon my introspective definition of whanaungatanga, manaakitanga and aroha12 Hence, I will begin this paper by identifying some of the recent literature relating to poverty, social capital and Māori values / Māori Worldview, detailed below in the review of literature. Review of the Literature First and foremost, if ‘cultural richness / wealth from a Māori perspective’ is subjective and relates directly to Māori values, what does the literature infer when discussing ‘poverty, social capital and materialism?’ To begin with, what are some attitudes towards ‘money’? Irrespective of the fact money has no ‘intrinsic value’, money is a prominent feature and powerful motivator that drives Western Societal Behaviour (Wemimont & Fitzpatrick, 1972, p. 218). ‘Why is this so?’ Possibly because of the ideology relating to ‘wealth’ – correlating directly to money (Christopher, Marek, & Carroll, 2004, pp 110 – 111). Sir Mason Durie (2011) suggests that: ‘Measuring the level of engagement with te ao Māori requires an estimation of the degree to which Māori are able to share in the cultural, social and economic benefits that accrue from being Māori’ (p 56). As discussed in the introduction of this research; money ‘means different things to different people.’ Thus, begging the question, are we: ‘poor, or just feeling poor?’ Ravallion (2012), explores this issues raised by using subjective assessments tools of welfare13 to determine ‘why standardizing multidimensional welfare measures are utilized?’ (p 3). And poses the question: “Are we poor, or just feeling poor?” As well, Ravallion assess the case for and against the use of ‘subjective data14’ to identify ‘key knowledge gaps’ in subjective assessments measures (ibid). Are the subjective assessment tools the most efficient way 10 Te Pou Tikanga o Te Hāhi Wairua Tapu. 11 Mātauranga Tūhoe: The Centrality of Mātauranga-a-iwi to Māori Education.

Contrasts with objective. 3 to define ‘poverty’ or is ‘poverty’ a state of mind? Impacted only by environmental influences? Maybe this question could be better answered by understanding weather or not ‘wealth enhances life satisfaction?’ This paper does not answer this question directly. In short, it offers alternative vantage-points in terms of ‘how wealth is viewed’ in the proceeding sections of this research. Moreover, the term ‘social capital’ refers to the ‘collection of resources to which an individual or a group has access through their membership in an ongoing network of mutual acquaintance’ (Robinson & Williams, 2001, p 54). A broad definition of ‘social capital’ refers to resources that are embedded in social relationships that to benefit purposive action15. In a recent study by Howell, Howell & Schwabe (2006) titled: ‘does wealth enhance life satisfaction for people who are materially deprived?’ When they examined the zero-order16 correlations between life satisfaction and demographics. And they suggest that there were no statistically relations between age, education, or household size. Hunter (2009) implies that: ‘indigenous disadvantage is complex and multidimensional… And there is a wide cultural gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous perspectives on the issues.’ (Hunter, 2009, p 53). In relation to Mangatu, Whatatutu – the whānau in this community can assert their rangatiratanga17. Partly because of their intimate relationship with their natural environment, but primarily through the positive influence of Te Hāhi Wairua Tapu. The values, philosophies contained within the teachings of te hāhi.18 Further building upon a strong sense of ‘cultural identity’ in their community. Subsequently, Hirini Moko-Mead, explains that, tikanga Māori ‘deals not so much with a set of rules and regulations but with values’ (2003, p 27).

  • Documenting Maori History
    Documenting Maori History: THE ARREST OF TE KOOTI RIKIRANGI TE TURUKI, 1889* TRUTH is ever a casualty of war and of the aftermath of war and so it is of the conflicts between Maori and Pakeha in New Zealand. A bare hun- dred years is too short a time for both peoples, still somewhat uncertainly working out their relationships in New Zealand, to view the nineteenth- century conflicts with much objectivity. Indeed, partly due to the con- fidence and articulateness of the younger generations of Maoris and to their dissatisfaction with the Pakeha descriptions of what is and what happened, the covers have only in the last decade or so really begun to be ripped off the struggles of a century before. Some truth is emerging, in the sense of reasonably accurate statements about who did what and why, but so inevitably is a great deal of myth-making, of the casting of villains and the erection of culture-heroes by Maoris to match the villains and culture-heroes which were created earlier by the Pakeha—and which many Pakeha of a post-imperial generation now themselves find very inadequate. In all of this academics are going to become involved, partly because they are going to be dragged into it by the public, by their students and by the media, and partly because it is going to be difficult for some of them to resist the heady attractions of playing to the gallery of one set or another of protagonists or polemicists, frequently eager to have the presumed authority of an academic imprimatur on their particular ver- sion of what is supposed to have happened.

  • Re-Visioning Christology Through a Māori Lens
    Re-visioning Christology through a Māori lens Wayne Manaaki Rihari Te Kaawa A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, the University of Otago, 2020 Abstract The central premise of this thesis is to re-vision what is known about Jesus Christ with a fresh set of Māori eyes to see what new insights can be added to Christological discourse. This thesis begins with a survey of Christological reflections by thirteen Māori writers from different theological, denominational and tribal backgrounds. This survey shows the richness and diversity of Māori epistemology in articulating and understanding who Jesus Christ is for Māori. Two significant themes are identified for further investigation being whakapapa (genealogy), and the relationship between land, people and God. The two genealogies of Jesus recorded in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke are analysed using a whakapapa methodology. New insights are discovered about the four women included in Matthew’s version of the genealogy of Jesus where the women are viewed through their indigenousness to the land of Canaan. Indigenousness and the land also play a major role in revisioning the genealogy of Jesus recorded in the Gospel of Luke. The land is articulated as the foundational layer in this genealogy that connects the world of humans and the world of God. The second theme significant to understanding Christology is Jesus providing a new hermeneutic to the relationship between land, people and God. This tripartite relationship is an important theme in the Old Testament and is held together in creative tension through Covenants and the Law.
