Historical Frictions : Maori Claims and Reinvented Histories

order quantity

NZ$ 50.00 each

Paperback

Author: Michael Belgrave (Senior Lecturer Department of Social Work and Social Policy, Massey University, New Zealand)

In Stock: 1

This important book explores the role of the courts and of various types of commissions in mediating and reinventing historical narratives of colonisation. Belgrave shows how the courts became from 1840 places where different narratives of discovery and conquest, of loss and displacement and of claims to resources and mana were debated. These legal debates were not only between Maori and Pakeha; Maori also used the courts to maintain or reclaim traditional rights between Maori and Maori. From this perspective the Waitangi Tribunal is less radical than is often supposed and is seen to be carrying on a similar function to earlier tribunals and courts in the transformation of historical narratives. The book will cover a number of issues, all of which have been before the Waitangi Tribunal, including the Old Land Claims, the Kemp Purchase, confiscation, the Orakei Block, the Whanganui River, fisheries, the Chatham Islands and the ... more

Hostile Shores : Catastrophic events in prehistoric New Zealand and their impact on Maori coastal communities

order quantity

NZ$ 50.00 each

Paperback

Author: Bruce McFadgen

In Stock: 1

This is a groundbreaking book which explores the incidence and effects of catastrophic events - tsunamis, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions - on Maori coastal communities in the pre- European period. It focuses in particular on a cluster of tsunamis in the late 1400s which had devastating effects from Northland to Otago on population and cultural practices. Nga Ngaru Kaiwaka is the product of meticulous and rigorous research, drawing on archaeology, geology, demography and, most importantly, oral tradition; but it will be of considerable interest to the many readers who are fascinated by New Zealand's prehistory.

First published September 2007.

The cover blurb reads "Essential reading for anybody living within 300 metres of the New Zealand shoreline." Right on! – Bob Brockie, Dominion Post

Illustrated History of the Treaty of Waitangi

order quantity

NZ$ 40.00 each

Paperback

Author: Claudia Orange

In Stock: 1

Few subjects in recent years have created as much debate as the Treaty of Waitangi. Its history is a fascinating one, that embraces not only events of 1840 but also forces leading to the making of a treaty and the impacts, protests, and negotiations that followed for the next century and a half.

Claudia Orange offers here a straightforward account of a complex narrative. A wide range of illustrations brings the history to life: the different kinds of people who negotiated and signed the Treaty are vividly presented, the many periods of our past are portrayed; the context of this important document comes to life throughout the book.Perhaps the most significant feature of this book is the remarkable summary of the events of the 1980s and 1990s. In these years, the Waitangi Tribunal and iwi undertook massive research, to establish the validity of land claims; major settlements were made, and more claims are close to settlement.

Mana Tuturu : Maori Treasures and Intellectual Property Rights

order quantity

NZ$ 45.00 each

Paperback

Author: Barry Barclay

In Stock: 1

This book is a timely, valuable and immensely wise meditation on the complex and difficult problems that arise when the treasures of indigenous peoples, especially Maori, enter the commercial world which seeks to reproduce and disseminate them. Well aware that such matters are not simple, Barry Barclay draws on his long experience as a filmmaker, often depicting Maori subjects, to conduct a hui, or public forum, to show, to listen, to suggest ways in which two worlds, each important, can meet. His gripping and moving book will be a guide in the areas of film and television, libraries, archives and museums, jurisprudence and ethics; but beyond that it is the kind of classic book that anyone seriously concerned about the culture of contemporary New Zealand, or any post-colonial country, should read and ponder on.

Maori Property Rights and the Foreshore and Seabed : The last frontier

order quantity

NZ$ 40.00 each

Paperback

Author: Claire Charters & Andrew Erueti (eds)

In Stock: 1

In this recent era of indigenous peoples’ rights recognition, many states around the globe are faced with reconciling the pre-existing, inherent rights of indigenous peoples with those held and asserted by the state. Within New Zealand we remain engaged in this process of reconciliation and while there has been significant progress, there remain many outstanding and controversial questions about the status of Maori and their treaty and customary rights. This fact was brought into sharp focus by the Court of Appeal decision of Ngati Apa.

These are essays written by academics on topics that fall within their area of expertise. The general tenor is that New Zealand in its haste has enacted legislation that undermines the rights of Maori tribes. In short, the view is that the reconciliation process has tipped too far in favour of the rights of the state and non-Maori. While the foreshore may be the last frontier in terms of terra firma ... more

Mauri Ora : The Dynamics of Maori Health

order quantity

NZ$ 75.00 each

Paperback

Author: Mason Durie (School of Maori Studies, Massey University, New Zealand)

In Stock: 1

Mauri Ora outlines the relevance of culture, identity, and socio-economic factors to health. Mason Durie draws on many years of experience to bring fresh perspectives on Maori health, especially mental health. Not only is there a comprehensive clinical review of suicide, depression, and alcohol and drug misuse, but there is also a thorough exploration of the origins of poor health and strategies for improving health.

As a sequel to Whaiora, Mauri Ora contains new insights into a Maori psychology and provides useful guidelines for practitioners, especially those who are involved in counselling Maori clients or establishing mental health services for Maori. In addition, population approaches to health, such as community and hapu development, are discussed within a framework that connects health to the broader aims of Maori development.

Nga Tai Matatu : Tides of Maori Endurance

order quantity

NZ$ 65.00 each

Paperback

Author: Mason Durie

In Stock: 1

Nga Tai Matatu: Tides of Maori Endurance describes and analyses the position of the Maori people and Maori interests at the start of the third millennium. It also recognises the journeys from the past and makes projections into the future.
The book builds on the highly successful Te Mana te Kawanatanga: The Politics of Maori Self Determination but also introduces new issues and canvasses recent developments that have influenced Maori lives and Maori resources. Development is an ongoing process that has distant beginnings and no real ending. That sense of eternity is reflected in the Maori title; like the changing nature of the tide, Maori fortunes also change.
The book provides a comprehensive analysis of research relating specifically to Maori over many fields. It presents a carefully structured and argued overview of the background, history, experience, and aspirations of the indigenous people of New Zealand, and ... more

Williams’ history – the first book to provide the ‘bigger picture’ of the activities of the Native Land Court – details the dramatically adverse impact it had on the landholdings of Maori hapu. ‘Te Kooti tango whenua’ offers a picture of the court in action, with legislative practices that perhaps resulted in the most serious breaches of the Treaty of Waitangi to date, and ‘points the way to a future less contaminated by hurts arising from injustices of the past’.

Since the publication of the first edition of this book in 1989, a great deal has changed although some of the themes and ideas relevant at the time endure.

Maori health development is about the trials and discoveries of the past, the energies and initiatives of the present, and the priorities and plans for the future.

In this welcome second edition of Whaiora, Mason Durie documents progress in Maori health development over the past century, placing special emphasis on the last fifteen years.
