A GREEN STONE CLUB Pictured (left) is a Maori mere, a weapon shaped from the legendry New Zealand Green Stone. Greenstone is the name for nephrite jade that comes from the South Island of New Zealand. It is also known as pounamu. Nephrite is principally a calcium magnesium silicate. It is made up of tightly felted crystal fibres which is the reason for its incredible toughness. This unique structure, makes it easy to work and the finished carving has a surface with a smooth glowing lustre and a greasy or wax-like quality. As well as being popular as a medium for jewellery, New Zealand Greenstone has great significance to Above: A Maori mere (war club) carved from New the Maori people. Read Zealand Green Stone.

  • The Colonial Reinvention of the Hei Tiki: Pounamu, Knowledge and Empire, 1860S-1940S
    The Colonial Reinvention of the Hei Tiki: Pounamu, Knowledge and Empire, 1860s-1940s Kathryn Street A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Victoria University of Wellington Te Whare Wānanga o te Ūpoko o te Ika a Māui 2017 Abstract This thesis examines the reinvention of pounamu hei tiki between the 1860s and 1940s. It asks how colonial culture was shaped by engagement with pounamu and its analogous forms greenstone, nephrite, bowenite and jade. The study begins with the exploitation of Ngāi Tahu’s pounamu resource during the West Coast gold rush and concludes with post-World War II measures to prohibit greenstone exports. It establishes that industrially mass-produced pounamu hei tiki were available in New Zealand by 1901 and in Britain by 1903. It sheds new light on the little-known German influence on the commercial greenstone industry. The research demonstrates how Māori leaders maintained a degree of authority in the new Pākehā-dominated industry through patron-client relationships where they exercised creative control. The history also tells a deeper story of the making of colonial culture. The transformation of the greenstone industry created a cultural legacy greater than just the tangible objects of trade. Intangible meanings are also part of the heritage. The acts of making, selling, wearing, admiring, gifting, describing and imagining pieces of greenstone pounamu were expressions of culture in practice. Everyday objects can tell some of these stories and provide accounts of relationships and ways of knowing the world. The pounamu hei tiki speaks to this history because more than merely stone, it is a cultural object and idea.

  • Hei Tiki and Issues of Representation Within Contemporary Māori Arts
    MAI Review, 2007, 1, Intern Research Report 7 Hei tiki and issues of representation within contemporary Māori arts. Pania Waaka Abstract: This research project explores the field of contemporary Māori arts to ascertain issues of representation of Māori imagery and design. The notion of representation is located in the indigenous iconographic form, the hei tiki. A material interface to a distant past, hei tiki currently rides the eclectic wave of mainstream fashion. Its scope of success can be measured as being an elite object keenly demanded by international collectors of art or as an enduring symbol of pre- European Māori cultural identity, or as a patriotic symbol of nationhood. The participant is Rangi Kipa. He is used in this research project because of a series of work he created titled, ‘This is a tiki’. The legacy of hei tiki has recently propelled a visual conversation between artists and curators, that it can be perceived, that tiki was lost in the visual chatter of the art institution. Strikingly however, amongst the blinding noise, this exceptional body of work is being pursued, relentlessly so from collectors internationally. This series of work can be described as transcultural, modernised reproductions of a traditionally Māori culturally symbolic icon. It can be interpreted as offensive, as Pākehā, as kūpapa, as intellectual, and as distinctly Māori. Powerful interpretations instigated by masterful manipulations of colourful plastic composite materials. It is exactly those subjective charges that relocates the plastic hei tiki from the obscure realm of art to an equally obscure realm of academic discourse. It is these dynamics that has captured the curiosity of the author.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. 'Theatre of Wonders': The Emergence of the Southland Museum 1869-1945 A thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy \ In Museum Studies at Massey University, Turitea, Palmerston North, New Zealand. Johannah Carmel Massey 2000 ABSTRACT During the last two decades of the twentieth century, international scholarship in museology began to focus on the development of museums in the colonial context, with particular emphasis on the nineteenth century. While a tradition of institutional histories has developed in North America and Australia there have been few detailed histories written of New Zealand Museums. Institutional histories provide an insight into the motivations and practice of early museology and the role museums took in the colonisation process and the subsequent development of provincial centres. This thesis provides the first detailed historical account of the early development of Southland Museum and Art Gallery. Four periods of development have been identified. Andrew McKenzie operated a museum in his commercial premises from 1872 until 1875 when the Invercargill Athenaeum purchased his collection. The Athenaeurn maintained a museum collection until the early twentieth century when it was transferred to the Southland Technical College where it was opened to the public in 1912. Intensive political lobbying and fund-raising from 1936 led to the opening of a purpose built public museum in Invercargill in 1942.

WAYNE ORCHISTON Department of Anthropology, University of Sydney* Plates 22-24. Figs 1-33. Manuscript received 19th November, 1970. SUMMARY This paper exammes a collection of 93 Maori greens tone pendants in the Australian Museum. Only straight kuru are abundant enough for quantitative analysis, but this is first preceded by an examination of the spatial-chronological distribution of the population of this type, changes in it numerically through time, and the characteristics of a random sample. The randomness of the Australian Museum sample of 58 pendants is questioned. A random sample of 70 straight kuru in the Auckland Institute and Museum is employed for comparative purposes, and an investigation made of the nature of and interrelationships between various pendant parameters, for the two samples. Other pendant types considered, in addition to straight kuru and anomalous forms, are the kuru kapeu (5 examples), hei matau (I), koropepe (4), pekapeka (4), poria (2), rei puta (I), and Triangular Pendant (6). Since none of these types is abundantly represented quantitative studies are impossible, and the spatial-chronological attributes of each are merely examined, and the Australian Museum specimens compared and contrasted with those in other museums.
