Long synopsis: Gas Can is a narrative short film (15min) about the cycles of privilege and racism on the prairies. The film follows the story of Anthem, a Cree man moving to the city with his family. Along the way, they run out of gas and Anthem asks an old friend -- the Farmer -- for help. The Farmer agrees, but not unconditionally, and he turns his back on them when they need it most.

  • Keynote Speakers
    KEYNOTE SPEAKERS 1 Keynote 1 From Maoritanga to Matauranga: Indigenous Knowledge Discourses Linda Tuhiwai Smith (NMM, Cinema) _______________________________________________________________________________ My talk examines the current fascination with matauranga Maori in policy and curriculum. I am interested in the way academic discourses have shifted dramatically to encompass Maori interests and ways of understanding knowledge. I explore some aspects of the development of different approaches to Maori in the curriculum and track the rising interest in matauranga (traditional Maori knowledge) through a period of neoliberal approaches to curriculum in our education system and measurement of research excellence. The Performance Based Research Fund recognises matauranga Maori as a field of research, Government research funds ascribe to a Vision Matauranga policy which must be addressed in all contestable research funds and there are qualifications, majors and subject papers which teach matauranga Maori at tertiary level. New Zealand leads the world in terms of incorporating indigenous knowledge, language and culture into curriculum. Most of the named qualifications are accredited through the New Zealand Qualifications Authority, which then owns the intellectual property of the curriculum. Maori individuals clearly play a significant role in developing the curriculum and resources. They are mostly motivated by wanting to provide a Maori-friendly and relevant curriculum. However, Maori people are also concerned more widely about cultural

Although it is small, it is precious. The statistical representation of Mäori is frequently a portrayal of ethnic disparity – Mäori as enjoying, in comparison to Päkehä New Zealand, less health, wealth, education, a greater proclivity for criminal pursuits and perhaps a “warrior gene” or two. The aesthetic of this picture has been consistently unpalatable, routinely criticised and variously addressed. Those in the pakeke bracket have witnessed EDITORIAL TEAM attempts to eradicate disparity through integration, devolution, biculturalism, a Phil Tumataroa Editor (above) Assistant Editor brave new era of “by Mäori for Mäori”, and most recently, the rapid retreat driven by Felolini Maria Ifopo Sub Editor the “needs not race” rhetoric. This quickstep approach to Mäori policy has distorted Stan Darling Debra Farquhar Sub Editor the frame, obscuring the true picture. The pattern emerges not by comparing Mäori to Päkehä, but by contrasting policy against result. CONTRIBUTORS The United Nations recently refocused the picture by tracing the journey between Dr Neville Bennett Tom Bennion cause and effect. The Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, as Donald Couch Pirimia Burger indicated by its name, exists to protect and promote the right to racial equality.

  • A Tourist in Tuhoe Heartland
    4 Living JUNE 16, 2013 COVER STORY A tourist in Tuhoe heartland Liz Light visits Ruatahuna, deep in Te Urewera National Park, the setting for the latest New Zealand film, White Lies. Oputao Marae is in heartland Tuhoe country. ichardWhite’s alarm clock is set for 6.30am and every morning he wakes to the deep, sweet Rtones of Louis Armstrong, “I think to myself, what a wonderful world.” Ruatahuna, a village that straggles along a valley in a big bubble of Maori land in the middle of Te Urewera National Park, is Richard’s wonderful world. Green farmland is surrounded by steep mountains clothed in dark, primeval rainforest. The forest seems to be quietly creeping down, reclaiming land that once belonged to it, making a mockery of man’s futile attempts to farm and nudging the cattle and horses further down the valley. The Whakatane River that carved this valley is young and sprightly, dancing around rocks and sometimes slowing down in pools where trout swim. This is heartland Tuhoe territory and the 260 people who live in Ruatahuna speak Maori, their first language. It’s also the location of the latest New Zealand movie, White Lies, and one of few such places that welcomes and hosts tourists wishing to experience a unique landscape and lifestyle. The valley has 10 hapu and each has its own marae. Oputao Marae belongs to the extended White family and has done for hundreds of years. Richard and Meriann, and their youngest son Paraki, live here but over Christmas the whanau — uncles, aunts, brothers, cousins, and lots of children — return from all over New Zealand, and some from Australia.
