  • The Musket Wars: a History of Inter-Iwi Conflict 1806-1845
    REVIEWS work of Augustus Earle, Rod Edmond on two missionary texts, and Mark Houlahan on Henry Tacy Kemp's translations. Interesting paths are pursued in the essays by Malama Meleisea, Futa Helu, and 'Okusitino Mahina. These three essays share many themes. All are concerned with the relations between myth and history, and approach this larger matter through the particular. Meleisea fleshes out an often-cited but little-explored prophecy by the Samoan goddess Nafanua, which predicted the arrival of Christianity and its alliance with the lineage of Malietoa. Helu explores the Maui myths throughout Polynesia, and Mahina argues that myth is a complex dialogue, which speaks to and about both past and present. All three observe that myth had, and has, the power to challenge and change history. This theme is partly shared by David Mackay in an intriguing essay that looks at and wonders over the 'myths' that grew up alongside developing European scientific knowledge of the Pacific. He suspects these may have been just as important as the empirical (and published) findings of the voyagers. A provocative and handsome volume, the editing and presentation are well managed. There are a few more typographical errors than is customary in a University of Hawai'i publication, noticeably in the footnotes, and the uneven use of the double vowel system of Maori orthography is confusing, perhaps doubly so for readers who are strangers to the Maori language. A few of the essays are either works in progress or not entirely new to print. In part this might be due to the long incubation period (six years between the seminar and publication).

  • Musket Wars’, ‘Land Wars’ Or Tikanga? Warfare in Maori Society in the Early Nineteenth Century
    REVIEWS 85 identity was shaped by more external influences or international trends than we sometimes admit. At a time when nuclear issues appear to be rearing again, and when New Zealanders are contemplating the costs of their own anti-nuclear legislation, this book is essential reading. Written to the most rigorous historical standards, and committed to balance it lays a path for historians around the world to write dozens of more focussed works. It is an essential aid to understanding key features of contemporary New Zealand politics and identity and enduring international issues. MATTHEW O’MEAGHER The University of Auckland Taua: ‘musket wars’, ‘land wars’ or tikanga? Warfare in Maori Society in the Early Nineteenth Century. By Angela Ballara. Penguin, Auckland, 2003. 543 pp. NZ price: $59.95. ISBN 0-14-301889-2. RON CROSBY’S MUSKET WARS put the pre-1840 period of conflict in New Zealand back on the historical radar screens and reminded historians that they had neglected a very important and compelling segment of this country’s history. Angela Ballara’s Taua takes the period by the scruff and comprehensively maps it out, analyses it, and produces a masterful historical work. Its value lies in (a) the comprehensive research it is based on (there is a wealth of information in this book), (b) the author’s ability to crystallize and discuss a range of key concepts and occurrences, (utu, muru, take, etc) and (c) the book’s balance. Ballara’s discussion on cannibalism, for example, carefully and professionally weighs the evidence. Taua is superbly written, accessible to a general readership and is a sound scholarly contribution to knowledge.

Derby: A History of M?ori Literacy Success Introduction This article explores literacy in Māori society, and in particular, how Māori tribal groups swiftly and enthusiastically embraced literacy (where literacy is taken to mean ‘the written word’) following contact with Pākehā (settlers of British descent). Increasingly, it is suggested that literacy is a Western competency, and that to be concerned with ensuring Māori children are achieving well in reading and writing is an act of colonisation. However, these narratives run counter to the history of many tribal groups in New Zealand. This article discusses the historical interactions of Māori with literacy, and illustrates that both the ability and the desire to succeed in reading and writing are features of Māori historical practice. Therefore, to promote high levels of literacy achievement in contemporary times is not a colonising act but rather aligns with the historical precedent firmly established in traditional Māori society.

  • General Information About New Zealand Wars and Conflicts
    General information about New Zealand Wars and Conflicts More than 20 separate but related conflicts were fought in New Zealand – all but one of them in the North Island – in the decades after its incorporation into the British Empire in 1840. They ranged in duration from a couple of hours (the 1843 Wairau Massacre/Affray/Incident) to several years (‘Te Kooti’s War’), in geographical scope from a few acres (Wairau) to much of the eastern side of the North Island (Te Kooti), and in number of fatal casualties from zero (the 1898 ‘Hokianga Dog Tax War’) to about a thousand (the 1863/64 Waikato War). Several thousand people died in total, the great majority of them Māori. While the immediate causes – as well as the outcomes – of these conflicts varied, all involved contests between British (later, colonist) and Māori authority. Most were also fought over access to land and other resources. The adversaries, contemporary observers and subsequent generations recognised these common features and coined generic terms for the campaigns. These terms embodied implicit or explicit judgements about causes, culpability, location and participants. In the 21st century, questions of nomenclature continue to frame New Zealanders’ understanding of the internal wars of the colonial period. New Zealand Wars? The first ‘New Zealand Wars’ were those fought among ‘New Zealanders’ (meaning Māori) in the early 19th century. Causing up to ten times as many deaths as the post- 1840 fighting, these bitter conflicts became known collectively in the 20th century as the Musket Wars, both to distinguish them from later campaigns and in recognition of the fatal impact of the new weapon that was deployed in many of them.

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] Australia and the Secretive Exploitation of the Chatham Islands to 1842 Abstract The European discovery of the Chatham Islands in 1791 resulted in significant consequences for its indigenous Moriori people. The colonial Australian influence on the Chathams has eceivr ed little scholarly attention. This article argues that the young colonies of New South Wales and Van Diemen's Land led the exploitation of the archipelago before its annexation to New Zealand in 1842. The Chathams became a secretive outpost of the colonial economy, especially the sealing trade. Colonial careering transformed the islands: environmental destruction accompanied economic exploitation, with deleterious results for the Moriori. When two Māori iwi (tribes) from New Zealand's North Island invaded in 1835, Moriori struggled to respond as a consequence of the colonial encounter. Mobility and technology gained from the Australian colonies enabled and influenced the invasion itself, and derogatory colonial stereotypes about Aboriginal peoples informed the genocide that ensued.

  • An Exploration of the Development of Political Awareness and Participation Among Māori and Pākehā Secondary School Students in Aotearoa/New Zealand
    Becoming and Being Aware and Engaged: An Exploration of the Development of Political Awareness and Participation Among Māori and Pākehā Secondary School Students in Aotearoa/New Zealand Torica LaShā Webb Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Torica LaShā Webb All rights reserved ABSTRACT Becoming and Being Aware and Engaged: An Exploration of the Development of Political Awareness and Participation Among Māori and Pākehā Secondary School Students in Aotearoa/New Zealand Torica LaShā Webb This dissertation explores how political ideals, knowledge and participation are shaped, articulated and contested in and out of school for and by Māori and Pākehā secondary school students, school staff, families and communities with data generated through ethnographic research in Aotearoa/New Zealand (ANZ). The state of education in ANZ is both stable and precarious; stable because it is a national school system with a standardized curriculum and hiring standards regardless of whether a school is public or private with a central unit (Ministry of Education) responsible for overseeing these elements and education policy; and precarious in the sense that the school-age population is becoming increasingly diverse and must meet the needs of Māori and Pākehā, as well as Pacific Islander and Asian students. This is particularly imperative for Māori and Pacific Islander children as they are less likely to have attended preschool when compared to their Pākehā and Asian counterparts, and have higher dropout and unemployment rates. Schools are important sites of cultural production representing the nexus of unceasing, multidirectional exchanges of ideas, knowledge and practices contributing to students’ development of political awareness and participation through school organization, pedagogy, and social relations.

  • Maori and Pakeha Encounters, 1642-1840 a Savage Country
    The Meeting Place – Maori and Pakeha Encounters, 1642-1840 By Vincent O‟Malley. Auckland University Press, Auckland, 2012. ISBN 1869405943 A Savage Country: The Untold Story of New Zealand in the 1820s By Paul Moon. Penguin Books, Auckland, 2012 ISBN: 0143567381 Reviewed by Sam Ritchie The period bookended by initial Māori-Pākehā contact at one end, and the Treaty of Waitangi and the beginning of mass Pākehā migration at the other, is an underrepresented stage of New Zealand history. In his study The Meeting Place, Vincent O‟Malley purports to examine 1642-1840.1 Likewise, in a prequel to his previous studies of New Zealand in the 1830s and the 1840s, Paul Moon‟s A Savage Country is confined to the 1820s.2 It is pleasing to see this important time of change, for both Māori and Pākehā, as the focus of further historical inves- tigation. During the early-nineteenth-century, whalers referred to the Tasman Sea as the „middle ground‟ and, as James Belich notes, during this period „the Tasman Sea was more bridge than barrier‟, linking New Zealand and New South Wales.3 The importance of New South Wales in the history of New Zealand at this time is acknowledged, albeit implicitly, in both The Meeting Place and A Savage Country. This recognition represents a pleasing historiograph- ical turn since Belich‟s 1996 assertion that New Zealand and New South Wales share „a joint past historians in both countries seem reluctant to recognise.‟4 An implicit understanding of a connected Tasman world is not sufficient however. Moon‟s discussion of the Reverend
