M¯aori society is made up of iwi (tribe), hapu (sub-tribe) and whanau (family unit) groupings which are geographically based throughout New Zealand in accordance with their tribal boundaries. The various differences in character, cultural practices and protocols between iwi all contribute to the richness of M¯aori society, M¯aori culture and New Zealand. haere mai welcome “N¯a t¯a u rourou, n¯a ta ¯ ku rourou, ka ora It is a culture that, due to initiatives over ai te manuhiri” the past two decades to revitalise M¯a ori language, art and culture continues to grow By your food basket and my food basket, from strength to strength.

New Zealand and are an intrinsic part of Kiwi culture for New Zealanders. Nothing arouses the passion of Kiwis like the haka as the All Blacks go through their pre-game challenge; nothing chills like the spine-tingling emotion upon hearing a karakia (prayer). Probably New Zealand’s best known international M¯a ori identity is opera diva Dame Kiri Te Kanawa. She made her debut at Covent Garden in 1971 and has been a star in the opera world ever since. But Dame Kiri isn’t alone. People such as writer Witi Ihimaera, who penned the novel ‘Whale Rider’, actor Temuera Morrison, film director Lee Tamahori, golfer Michael Campbell, artists Cliff Whiting, Jacqueline Fraser and Shane Cotton, the late poet Hone Tuwhare and businessman Wally Stone add to the culture of Aotearoa. 1 tangata whenua: the people of the land M¯a ori lost much of their land through European colonisation and over the past decades some have been compensated for their loss. A number of iwi or tribal groups currently await negotiations with the Government to settle their historical grievances. Today, although many M¯a ori live in urban areas, away from their tribal regions, their marae remains an integral part of their life. Any visit to New Zealand is bound to provide an encounter with this country’s unique M¯a ori culture. An encounter that will allow you to experience a culture rich in traditions passed on from generation to generation. Some key statistics from the 2006 Census • One in seven people (565,329) in New Zealand were M¯a ori • Nearly nine in 10 M¯a ori lived in the North Island; one quarter of the M¯a ori population lived in Auckland alone • A quarter of the M¯a ori population spoke the M¯a ori language • The largest tribe was Nga ¯ Puhi from the Northland region • The M¯a ori population had grown by 7.4% over the last five years 2 m¯aori and tourism M¯a ori are increasingly utilising tourism in a bid Whale Watch now employs around 75 people to preserve and promote their culture and supports many extended M¯a ori wh¯a nau and create a more prosperous future for (families).

  • (Te Papa) in the Rejuvenation of Taonga Puoro

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. The role of a museum (Te Papa) in the rejuvenation of taonga puoro A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Museum Studies At Massey University, Manawatū, New Zealand Awhina Tamarapa 2015 Abstract This thesis examines the role of the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa in the rejuvenation of taonga puoro (Māori musical instruments). The purpose of this study is to examine the Museum’s relationship with taonga puoro practitioners. This thesis documents the foundation of the Haumanu taonga puoro revitalisation group and their relationship with Te Papa. Therefore I have selected instrumental figures – Dr. Richard Nunns and Brian Flintoff, to elucidate their insight on this topic. The late Hirini Melbourne remains a constant and treasured presence throughout the process for Nunns and Flintoff. However, the focus of the thesis is to identify what has Te Papa done and can do better, to help facilitate the rejuvenation of taonga puoro, based on the years of developing a relationship with the Haumanu group. Furthermore, within this context, I examine my own practice as a Māori Curator at Te Papa. The central question to this study is the role of Te Papa, in terms of its relevance to one particular sector, the Māori cultural practitioners and revivalists. The challenge is: how much is Te Papa willing to risk, in relaxing control - to be relevant to the needs of this community? Four key research questions are explored: what has Te Papa done to help facilitate the rejuvenation and maintenance of puoro, what could Te Papa be doing more of to nurture the rejuvenation and maintenance of puoro; what are the key factors that support an achievement of these objectives: and, what are the challenges for the future.

  • Te Aho Tapu Uru Tapurua O E Te Muka E Tui Nei a Muri, a Mua the Sacred Strand That Joins the Past and Present Muka Strands Together
    Te Aho Tapu uru tapurua o e te muka e tui nei a muri, a mua The sacred strand that joins the past and present muka strands together Gloria Taituha A thesis submitted to Auckland University of Technology in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2021 Te Ipukarea Research Institute 1 Abstract This is an exegesis with a shared collaborative creative component with two other weaving exponents, Jacqueline McRae-Tarei and Rose Te Ratana which is reflective of a community of shared practice. This shared practice and subsequent collaborative creative component will be based on the overarching theme of the written component, a synthesis of philosophy, tikanga rangahau (rules, methods), transfer of knowledge and commitment to the survival of ngā mahi a te whare pora (ancient house of weaving) in a contemporary context. The sole authored component and original contribution to knowledge for this project is the focus on the period of 1860 – 1970, which will be referred to as Te Huringa. The design of this exegesis will be informed by Kaupapa Māori Ideology and Indigenous Methodologies. Te Huringa, described as the period from first contact with Pākehā settlers up until the Māori Renaissance in the 1970s. After the signing of the Treaty, the settler population grew to outnumber Māori. British traditions and culture became dominant, and there was an expectation that Māori adopt Pākehā culture (Hayward, 2012, p.1). This period, also defined, as the period of mass colonisation, saw the erosion of traditional Māori society including the status of raranga as a revered art form.

While architects scurried to outdo each other with their grand designs, aristocratic and newly emergent middle class owners sought out artworks of all kinds to decorate their rural mansions as well as their elegant town houses.
