The Mixed Member Proportional electoral system was adopted in New Zealand in 1996 to change the homogenous nature of the New Zealand legislative assembly. As a proportional representation system, MMP ensures that voters’ preferences are proportionally reflected in the party composition of Parliament. Since 1996, women and Māori (and other minority and underrepresented groups) have been experiencing significant increases in their numbers in parliament. Despite these increases, there remains the question of whether or not representatives who ‘stand for’ these two groups due to shared characteristics will subsequently ‘act for’ them through their political behaviour and attitudes.

  • Artist: Period/Style: Patron: Material/Technique: Form
    TITLE:The Ambum Stone LOCATION: Papua New Guinea DATE: 1500 BCE ARTIST: PERIOD/STYLE: Prehistoric Oceanic Art PATRON: MATERIAL/TECHNIQUE:Greywacke FORM: A composite human/animal figure, perhaps an anteater head and a human body. It has a pleasing shape and smooth surface, and the slightly shiny patina on some of its raised details suggest it has been well handled. It was made from greywacke stone, and its finished shape may suggest the original shape the stone it was carved from. Carved in the form of some kind of animal, its features are rounded and include a freestanding neck, elegantly curved head and long nose, and upper limbs that hug its torso and appear to enclose a cupped space above its belly. FUNCTION: The Ambum Stone is a decorative pestle. Sculpted stones uncovered in Papua New Guinea fall into three different categories: figurines, mortars, and pestles. These objects take the form of both land- and air-dwelling animals, anthropomorphic creatures, and human figures. The Ambum Stone is one of the earliest stone objects, hailing from way back in 3500 B.C.E., and would have been created as a pestle. It's likely that the Ambum Stone was used for fertility or burial rituals. The discovery of the Ambum Stone sheds light on the supernatural and religious beliefs of the ancient New Guinea peoples. The early stone sculptures have supernatural significance. These special mortars and pestles were used in religious rituals. New Guinea peoples believed the supernatural powers of these sculptures and the animals they depicted helped with fertility, hunting, and burial rites.

  • 1 Bilingual Education in Aotearoa/New Zealand Richard Hill
    Bilingual education in Aotearoa/New Zealand Richard Hill University of Waikato, New Zealand 1.1 Abstract Bilingual education in the New Zealand context is now over 30 years old. The two main linguistic minority groups involved in this type of education; the Indigenous Māori, and Pasifika peoples, of Samoan, Tongan, Cook Islands, Niuean and Tokelauan backgrounds have made many gains but have struggled in a national context where minority languages have low status. Māori bilingual programs are well established and have made a significant contribution towards reducing Māori language shift that in the 1970s looked to be beyond regeneration. Pasifika bilingual education by contrast is not widely available and not well resourced by the New Zealand government. Both forms continue to need support and a renewed focus at local and national levels. This chapter provides an overview of past development of Māori and Pasifika bilingual education and present progress. For Māori, the issues relate primarily to how to boost language regeneration, particularly between the generations. Gaining greater support for immersion programs and further strengthening bilingual education pedagogies, particularly relating to achieving biliteracy objectives, are key. In the Pasifika context, extending government and local support would not only safeguard the languages, but has the potential to counteract long-established patterns of low Pasifika student achievement in mainstream/English-medium schooling contexts. Finally, the future of both forms of bilingual education can be safeguarded if they are encompassed within a national languages policy that ensures minority language development in the predominantly English monolingual national context of New Zealand. 1 1.2 Introduction Aotearoa/New Zealand has two main bilingual education contexts, Māori and Pasifika.1 Both forms involve minority groups; the Māori language is the Indigenous language of Aotearoa/New Zealand, while the languages of the Pasifika people were brought to this country from the islands of Polynesia from the 1960s onwards.

  • Is Niuean an Endangered Language Species? Annotated Results of a Niue Schools Language Survey1
    Is Niuean an Endangered Language Species? Annotated Results of a Niue Schools Language Survey1 Wolfgang B. Sperlich Introduction The aim of this survey, carried out in May 1994, was to obtain data to study language ecology on Niue (cf. Muhlhauser, 1992). The main area in question is the status of the indigenous Niuean language, especially compared to English, which appears to be making inroads and may endanger the survival of Niuean. As the future of Niuean rests with the young people of Niue, it was felt that a language survey should be directed at them. Methodology The one-page questionnaire (see Appendix) consisted of 12 questions. The first four are of a demographic nature, while questions 5 to 9 inquire into the use and domains of spoken and written language. The last three questions were designed to elicit attitudes towards Niuean and English. 'This is a revised version of a survey report first prepared for the Niue Dictionary Project and members of the Niuen educational establishment, and subsequently presented as a paper at the Seventh International Conference on Austronesian Linguistics, Symposium on endangered languages, 22-27 August, 1994, Leiden, Holland. 37 The question as to whether or not to conduct the survey in Niuean was given some consideration. Given that the survey was to be conducted at both Niue Primary School and Niue High School, it was pointed out by local educationists that most written material is in English, hence students would be well used to a questionnaire in English. A questionnaire in Niuean would too narrowly restrict the focus on those Niuean students who can read Niuean well (the suggestion being that more students can read English better than Niuean).

This paper examines a phenomenon of Niuean (Oceanic) often called Noun Incorporation (NI). It is shown that, since the nominal element in these constructions is a phrase (NP) rather than a head (N0), this phenomenon does not in fact constitute NI in the normal sense of the term. Instead, it is termed PSEUDO NOUN INCORPORATION, or PNI. An analysis is presented in which an object NP (rather than DP) is generated adjacent to a verb. Since NP cannot check absolutive case, it fails to move out of VP, hence it undergoes predicate fronting along with the verb to derive the 'incorporated' order V-O-PARTICLES- S-X: the normal order is V-PARTICLES-S-O-X.

  • Library of Congress Subject Headings for the Pacific Islands
    Library of Congress Subject Headings for the Pacific Islands First compiled by Nancy Sack and Gwen Sinclair Updated by Nancy Sack Current to January 2020 Library of Congress Subject Headings for the Pacific Islands Background An inquiry from a librarian in Micronesia about how to identify subject headings for the Pacific islands highlighted the need for a list of authorized Library of Congress subject headings that are uniquely relevant to the Pacific islands or that are important to the social, economic, or cultural life of the islands. We reasoned that compiling all of the existing subject headings would reveal the extent to which additional subjects may need to be established or updated and we wish to encourage librarians in the Pacific area to contribute new and changed subject headings through the Hawai‘i/Pacific subject headings funnel, coordinated at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa.. We captured headings developed for the Pacific, including those for ethnic groups, World War II battles, languages, literatures, place names, traditional religions, etc. Headings for subjects important to the politics, economy, social life, and culture of the Pacific region, such as agricultural products and cultural sites, were also included. Scope Topics related to Australia, New Zealand, and Hawai‘i would predominate in our compilation had they been included. Accordingly, we focused on the Pacific islands in Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia (excluding Hawai‘i and New Zealand). Island groups in other parts of the Pacific were also excluded. References to broader or related terms having no connection with the Pacific were not included. Overview This compilation is modeled on similar publications such as Music Subject Headings: Compiled from Library of Congress Subject Headings and Library of Congress Subject Headings in Jewish Studies.
