An attempt to trace linkages between concepts that people used and continue to use in identifying as Maori, ideas about social power and images that evoke a sense of mana Māori, the indigenous forums of power, as distinct or set apart, motuhake. The book is to do with an idea of complete and final ownership, tino rangatiratanga and the way this and other ideas inform the notion of a Māori state"--p. 5.
Book Synopsis The State of Maori Rights by : Margaret Mutu
Download or read book The State of Maori Rights written by Margaret Mutu and published by Huia Publishers. This book was released on 2011-02-01 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The State of Maori Rights brings together a set of articles written between 1994 and 2009. It places on record the Maori view of events and issues that took place over these years, issues that have been more typically reported to the general public from a ‘mainstream’ media perspective. It is an important documentation of these fifteen years of New Zealand history, recording the assertion of Maori rights as the indigenous people of Aotearoa New Zealand, focusing on Maori issues and experiences and written from a Maori perspective. The reviews demonstrate the ongoing settling of grievances against the Crown for breaches of the Treaty of Waitangi, the solutions Maori have advocated and the benefits to the country when Maori advice on these matters is followed. Key issues include: - the 1994 ‘fiscal envelope’ - the 50,000-strong protest march against foreshore and seabed - Pakeha media attacks on Maori MPs and Maori initiatives. Maori success stories are also acknowledged such as Michael Campbell, Robert Hewitt, Willie Apiata and films such as Whale Rider.

Book Synopsis The Treaty of Waitangi by : Claudia Orange
Download or read book The Treaty of Waitangi written by Claudia Orange and published by Bridget Williams Books. This book was released on 2015-12-21 with total page 1009 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Treaty of Waitangi was signed in 1840 by over 500 chiefs, and by William Hobson, representing the British Crown. To the British it was the means by which they gained sovereignty over New Zealand. But to Maori people it had a very different significance, and they are still affected by the terms of the Treaty, often adversely.The Treaty of Waitangi, the first comprehensive study of the Treaty, deals with its place in New Zealand history from its making to the present day. The story covers the several Treaty signings and the substantial differences between Maori and English texts; the debate over interpretation of land rights and the actions of settler governments determined to circumvent Treaty guarantees; the wars of sovereignty in the 1860s and the longstanding Maori struggle to secure a degree of autonomy and control over resources." --Publisher.

Book Synopsis Māori Property Rights and the Foreshore and Seabed by : Claire Charters
Download or read book Māori Property Rights and the Foreshore and Seabed written by Claire Charters and published by Victoria University Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring an issue of international significance, this collection of essays addresses the reconciliation of the pre-existing, inherent rights of indigenous peoples with those held and asserted by the state. Focusing upon the Maori tribes of New Zealand, topics include the historical origins of the Ngati Apa decision--one of the most controversial modern decisions on Maori rights--how the Foreshore and Seabed Act (FSA) compares with schemes created in other countries with indigenous inhabitants, how the FSA has led to major changes in the country's political landscape, and how it stacks up against international human rights and environmental laws. This detailed study also explores New Zealand's legislation and how it has undermined the rights of Maori tribes, tipping the reconciliation process too far in favor of the state.
Book Synopsis Being Maori in the City by : Natacha Gagné
Download or read book Being Maori in the City written by Natacha Gagné and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2013-01-21 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indigenous peoples around the world have been involved in struggles for decolonization, self-determination, and recognition of their rights, and the Māori of Aotearoa-New Zealand are no exception. Now that nearly 85% of the Māori population have their main place of residence in urban centres, cities have become important sites of affirmation and struggle. Grounded in an ethnography of everyday life in the city of Auckland, Being Maori in the City is an investigation of what being Māori means today. One of the first ethnographic studies of Māori urbanization since the 1970s, this book is based on almost two years of fieldwork, living with Māori families, and more than 250 hours of interviews. In contrast with studies that have focused on indigenous elites and official groups and organizations, Being Māori in the City shines a light on the lives of ordinary individuals and families. Using this approach, Natacha Gagné adroitly underlines how indigenous ways of being are maintained and even strengthened through change and openness to the larger society.
Book Synopsis A Modern State in Its Relationship with a Tribally-Based People by : Susan Healy
Download or read book A Modern State in Its Relationship with a Tribally-Based People written by Susan Healy and published by VDM Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph investigates the nature of the relationship of the New Zealand State (the Crown) with Maori as a tribally-based people. Although recent New Zealand governments have tried to address the history of Crown injustice to Maori, the relationship of the Crown with the Maori tribally-based world continues to be fraught with contradictions and tension. In addressing the question as to why this situation continues, use is made of reports from the Waitangi Tribunal, which was established by the Government in 1987 to enquire into Maori grievances against the Crown. These reports include detailed testimonies from claimants about their way of life and culture and the manner of their treatment by the Crown. The monograph analyses evidence from the reports in order to identify what underlies the ongoing friction between the Crown and the Maori tribally-based world. This study is of interest to those who wish to understand the contradictions between the political economy of the modern state and the tribally-based world, and reasons for the continued assertion of tribal identity in spite of the ideology that casts the modern state as a superior social order.
Download or read book Maori written by Alan Dean Foster and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2015-07-28 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sweeping historical novel set in nineteenth-century New Zealand from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author. The only son of a poor British coal miner, Robert Coffin sets sail for the far ends of the Earth in search of his fortune, leaving his young bride and infant child behind in England. In the sordid and dangerous South Pacific port of Kororareka, on the sprawling island the native Maori call “the Land of the Long White Cloud,” Coffin builds a successful new life as a merchant. He gains an unwavering respect for the aboriginal people and their culture, and finds comfort in the arms of his fiery Irish mistress, Mary. But the unexpected arrival of a China-bound clipper bearing his wife, Holly, and son, Christopher, throws Coffin’s world into turmoil—compounded by the ever-increasing tension between the Maori tribes and the mistrusted “pakehas” who are plundering their land. As the years of a volatile nineteenth century progress, the indomitable family of the stalwart adventurer the Maori have named “Iron Hair” will struggle, sacrifice, and endure through war, chaos, catastrophe, and change.

Download or read book Bible & Treaty written by Keith Newman and published by Penguin Random House New Zealand Limited. This book was released on 2014-06-01 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bible & Treaty: Missionaries among the Māori is a complex and colourful adventure of faith, bravery, perseverance and betrayal that seeks to recover lost connections in the story of modern New Zealand. It brings a fresh perspective to the missionary story, from the lead-up to Samuel Marsden's first sermon on New Zealand soil, and the intervening struggle for survival and understanding, to the dramatic events that unfolded around the Treaty of Waitangi and the disillusionment that led to the Land Wars in the 1860s. While some missionaries clearly failed to live up to their high calling, the majority committed their lives to Māori and were instrumental in spreading Christianity, brokering peace between warring tribes, and promoting literacy – resulting in a Māori-language edition of the Bible. This highly readable account, from the author of Ratana Revisited: An Unfinished Legacy (2006) and Ratana: The Prophet (2009), shines a new light on the ever-evolving business of New Zealand's early history.
Book Synopsis What's Māori about Māori Education? by : Wally Penetito
Download or read book What's Māori about Māori Education? written by Wally Penetito and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is relatively easy to critique the New Zealand education system and show how inequalities in the treatment of Maori students have gone on for generations, to the extent that Maori justifiably perceive the system as being inherently biased against them. It is far more difficult to explain why Maori, despite their warrior heritage, persist in seeking out compromise positions with a dominant mainstream, or how they can do this without allowing a kind of refining or 'thinning out' of what it means to be Maori (what Foucault aptly refers to as 'procedures of rarefaction'). The slogan popularised in the mid-1900s, following Sir Apirana Ngata's familiar aphorism, 'E tipu e rea' - reinterpreted as 'we want the best of both worlds' - has not diminished in salience, and indeed may even have taken on a more strident note in the contemporary form 'we demand the best of all worlds'. This is a story about what it feels like to be a Maori in an education system where, for more than a century, equality, social justice and fairness for all New Zealanders has been promised but not adequately provided. It was not until the late 1970s and early 1980s that ordinary Maori in a few key communities throughout the country courageously stepped outside the Pakeha system and created an alternative Maori system in order to whakamana (enhance) their own interpretations of what it means to achieve equality, social justice and fairness through education. The question now is, what has the dominant mainstream education system learned about itself from the creative backlash of the Maori 'struggle for a meaningful context', and what is it going to do to address the equally important question of 'what is an education for all New Zealanders?'.
Book Synopsis A New Maori Migration by : Joan Metge
Download or read book A New Maori Migration written by Joan Metge and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-03-24 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until 1939 the Maori people remained an almost wholly rural community, but during and after the second world war increasing numbers of them migrated in search of work to the cities, and urban groups of Maori were established. This development has significantly affected relationships, both between Maori and Europeans, and within the Maori people as a whole. The importance of Dr Metge's book lies in its presentation of a carefully documented comparative study of two Maori communities, one in a traditional rural area and the other in Auckland, New Zealand's largest industrial centre. Housing and domestic organization, marriage patterns, kinship structure, voluntary associations and leadership in both types of community are discussed. The author's survey and conclusions make a valuable practical contribution to Maori social studies, and also have a bearing on the world-wide problem of the urbanisation of cultural minorities.
