    The Macphersons of the Far North of New Zealand Reynold Macpherson, 17 March 2011 Alfred Sinclair Macpherson, 1895-1968 Eric Gordon Macpherson, 1907-1979 Not for sale, free download available from www.reynoldmacpherson.ac.nz The Macphersons of the Far North of New Zealand1 Reynold Macpherson, 17 March 2011 Introduction My earliest memory is of Queen Victoria’s breasts, although at first I assumed that they were Papatuanuku’s. At the top of the Mangatoetoe (plume grass stream) Valley where I was raised are a pair of rounded hills (see right). A.W. Reed reputedly claimed in Place Names of New Zealand that they were “Named in honour of the Great White Queen, The Breasts of Kuini Wikitoria,” to which a leading historian of the Far North observed dryly that “it is doubtful whether she would have appreciated this honour done to her by her Māori subjects.” (Ramsey, 2001, p. 2) Like most New Zealanders, I learned early the Māori creation myth which explains that the Earth Mother, Papatuanuku, nurtures humankind under the gaze of Ranginui the Sky Father. Ranginui sometimes weeps at being separated forever from his lover by their children; the gods of the forest, sea, weather, peace and war, and their descendents, people. This showed that when I first ‘situated my appreciation’ of the view from our lounge room window, instead of ‘appreciating the situation,’ my early imagination was already shaped by a blend of Anglo-Celtic and Māori perspectives. With this context of largely unrealised and ongoing interculturalism in mind, I will now explain how Macphersons came to be in the Far North of New Zealand, not knowing if they were related to the McPhersons, living plural lifestyles in a Polynesian paradise, and integrated with many other families of British, Māori and Dalmation descent.

  • A History of the Regulation of Religion in the Canadian Public Square. By
    REMOTE CONTROL: A History of the Regulation of Religion in the Canadian Public Square. by Norman James Fennema BA., University of Alberta, 1990 BA. Hon., University of Alberta, 1991 MA., University of Victoria, 1996 A dissertation submitted in partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY In the Department of History We accept this dissertation as conforming to the required standard. Dr. Ian MaePherson, Supervisor , (Department of History) Dr. I^nne Marks, Departmental Member (Department of History) Dr. Brian Dippie, Departmental Member (Department of History) Dr. John McLaren, Outside Member (Faculty of Law) Dr. DaiddMarshall, External Examiner (Depe&tment of History, University of Calgary) © Norman Fermema, 2003 All rights reserved. This document may not be reproduced in whole or in part without the permission of the author. Supervisor; Dr. Ian MaePherson Abstract The modem Canadian state is secular, but it is not a neutral state. It is a liberal democracy in which the prevailing value system has shifted. The shift has been from a culture in which a commonly held religion was accorded a special place in the development of law and custom, to a culture in which religious pluralism is recognized and an institutionalized secularism obtains. The assumption would be that this would betoken a new tolerance for diversity, and in some ways it does. In other ways, the modem state behaves with an understanding of pluralism that is just as consensus oriented as the Protestant Culture that dominated in Canada until the middle of the twentieth century, and with the same illiberal tendencies. In historical terms, the effect that can be charted is one of repeating hegemonies, where respect for freedom of conscience or religion remains an incomplete ideal.

Box 40, Lincoln 7640, New Zealand 2Department of Conservation, Research & Development Group, PO Box 11089, Sockburn, Christchurch 8443 3Department of Geography, University of Otago, PO Box 56, Dunedin, New Zealand CLASSIFICATION National: Active (coastal) sand dunes are classified as Naturally Uncommon Ecosystems in New Zealand (Williams et al. 2007) and are identified as priority ecosystems for conservation on private land (Ministry for the Environment 2007) and more generally within the New Zealand Biodiversity Strategy (http://www.biodiversity.govt.nz/picture/doing/nzbs/contents.html). International: Active coastal sand dunes occur throughout the world, but the biotic community associated with New Zealand’s active dunes is unique. IUCN Habitats Classification Scheme (Version 3.0): 13 Marine Coastal/Supratidal; 13.3 Coastal Sand Dunes ECOSYSTEM DESCRIPTION Active sand dunes are those dune lands whose physical landscape and ecological character results from continuously moving wind–blown sand or high rates of sedimentation (Figure 1). They are predominantly coastal in New Zealand. Large transgressive dune systems were widespread on the western (windward) coasts of the North Island and South Island, with prograded foredune barriers with lesser active dune systems widespread elsewhere. The former are geomorphically dynamic and often physically complex, and may contain a corresponding complex of environments and plant communities (Johnson, 1993, Johnson & Rogers 2003, Hilton et al. 2000). A distinctive dune flora and fauna is associated with areas of more active sedimentation (i.e. active sand dunes, as defined by Williams et al.

  • Regional Profile
    2 NORTHLAND REGION TODAY Northland is a long, narrow peninsula with a subtropical climate. It has a land area of 1.25 million hectares and a population of 148,470 (Statistics NZ 2006). Local government in the region includes Northland Regional Council and the Far North, Kaipara and Whangarei District Councils as shown in figure 1 (below). Northland is a diverse region in both socio-economic patterns and environmental characteristics. Northland is renowned for its scenic and accessible coastline, sheltered harbours, many offshore islands and ecosystems of important conservation value. While Northland is currently undergoing significant growth particularly in eastern coastal areas, it remains a relatively poor and isolated region of New Zealand (NRC 2006). Figure 1: Map of Northland region showing districts and main urban areas. Northland Regional Council 2007 State of the Environment Report 4 2 - Northland Region Today 2.1 Our region Climate Northland, with its proximity to the sea, almost subtropical location and low elevation, is characterised by a mild, humid and rather windy climate. Summers tend to be warm and humid. Winters are characteristically mild with many parts of the region having only a few light frosts each year. The prevailing wind for most parts of the region is from the south west. However, in summer tropical cyclones give rise to north-easterly winds and heavy rainfall. The mean annual rainfall ranges from about 1000- 1300mm in low-lying coastal areas to over 2500mm on some of the higher country. Approximately one- third of the yearly rainfall total falls in the winter months of June, July and August.

Not a Fair Go: A History and Analysis of Social Credit’s Struggle for Success in New Zealand’s Electoral System A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of Master of Arts in Political Science at University of Waikato by David Calderwood The University of Waikato 2010 Abstract This thesis is an examination of the main issues Social Credit contended with while trying to succeed in New Zealand politics. Its historical and political analysis is in the context of the electoral system. The first section argues for and describes the changing electoral context and outlines how this created difficulties for Social Credit. It concludes that the movement faced very adverse electoral periods for third parties. The second part examines founder Major C.H. Douglas’s Social Credit vision and charts Social Credit’s political adaptations from its New Zealand beginnings to the time Bruce Beetham took over as leader in 1972.
