Sustainable community economic development: What lessons can the Tongan Vision Project of Aotearoa/New Zealand learn from the Mondragon Experience?
(Te Pua Wānanga ki te Ao, Te Whare Wānanga o Waikato, 2002-09) Cheney, George
This paper provides readers with information about the Mondragón cooperatives, two corporate groups of worker-owned-and-governed co-ops, located in the middle of the Basque Country, Spain. It draws a number of lessons from the experience of these co-operatives and discusses these lessons in the context of the Tongan Vision Project (TVP) of Aotearoa/New Zealand, a sustainable community economic development project established in January 2000.
Turangawaewae/ Tu'ungava'e: Echoes of a place to stand and belong
(Te Pua Wānanga ki te Ao, Te Whare Wānanga o Waikato, 2002-09) Brown Pulu, Teena J.
This paper examines the ways in which Pacific communities in Auckland are located and conceptualised by others in contrast to the ways in which they locate and conceptualise themselves. In particular, it looks at the ways in which, in the face of homeland fracture and socio-economic marginality, neighbourhoods are being reclaimed as places of belonging-ness, places in which informal alliances among Māori and Pacific groups are being forged. It also explores the problematic, often ambiguous, nature of these alliances.
Building capacity for sustainable Iwi development
(Te Pua Wānanga ki te Ao, Te Whare Wānanga o Waikato, 2002-09) Bishop, Russell; Tiakiwai, Sarah Jane
Since 1998, four iwi groups have participated in a Māori Sustainable Development project with researchers from the University of Waikato. This project has sought to develop a better understanding of iwi aspirations for economic, social and cultural development. Based on this research, the project seeks to identify, in conjunction with iwi, capacity building models and options in order to provide sustainable economic, social and cultural development. One finding of the research, based on the responses from iwi who have participated in this project, identifies iwi values and identity as the basis for a capacity building model for Māori sustainable development. It is this that is the focus of this paper.
Maori sustainable development in the 21st Century: The importance of Maori values, strategic planning and information systems
(Te Pua Wānanga ki te Ao, Te Whare Wānanga o Waikato, 2002) Harmsworth, Garth; Barlay-Kerr, Kim; Reedy, Tamati
The term ‘sustainable development’ has been widely used since the latter part of the 20th century. The concept implies economic and social development, economic growth, and environmental responsibility in order to sustain improved standards of living based on economic growth, to achieve some form of social equity, and to manage the environment in a sustainable way. Sustainable development should generally be at a rate that allows future generations to meet their needs without causing degradation of the natural environment, and should avoid economic or social decay. The concept has been debated and criticised by many as being ambiguous, untenable, and difficult to achieve, and frequently labelled part of global capitalism. But the concept provides a challenge to all of us, on how to balance economic, social, and cultural goals, while at the same time safeguarding and responsibly managing the environment for future generations. Attempts by indigenous peoples internationally to achieve sustainable development have been based on holistic approaches and frameworks that seek to balance economic, social, cultural and environmental objectives, and these provide effective models for viable sustainable development approaches. Māori Sustainable Development in Aotearoa-New Zealand is a term often used to describe a pathway to Māori autonomy, self-determination, the building of human and social capacity, as part of a strategic direction to capitalise on opportunities in the 21st century. This paper outlines research undertaken between 1998 and 2002 and funded by the Foundation for Research, Science, and Technology (FRST) in the programme “Māori Sustainable Development in Te Puku o Te Ika”, contract UOWX0005, simply referred to as the MSD programme. It focuses on the importance of determining Māori values, a vision, strategic planning and development of information systems as a holistic framework and process method to achieve Māori sustainable development.
Maori sustainable resource development: The challenge posed by the New Zealand media
(Te Pua Wānanga ki te Ao, Te Whare Wānanga o Waikato, 2002-09) Crombie, Winifred; Paki, Manaaki; Rolleston, Marg
We report here on a small-scale research project in which a number of articles and editorials dealing with governance and resource management problems were analysed. All of these articles and editorials appeared in the same national New Zealand newspaper. Half of them were concerned with a Māori organisation, the other half were not. Our conclusion is that there are fundamental differences between the two groups of articles/editorials, differences that are attributable to attempts to reinforce a normative/paternalistic agenda that stigmatises cultural difference.
Restorying the individual: The cultural dimension of special education in three Te Arawa sites
(Te Pua Wānanga ki te Ao, Te Whare Wānanga o Waikato, 2002-09) Macfarlane, Angus H
On the basis of observation of three Te Arawa educational sites, it is argued here that a central characteristic of successful programmes that attend to Māori students with special needs is cultural-centredness. Significant aspects of that culture-centredness are outlined here, aspects that, it is argued, are fundamental to the process of restorying that is, it is argued, critical to the success of many Māori students, particularly those with special needs.
The Digital Divide in New Zealand: The position of Māori and Pacific peoples
(Te Pua Wānanga ki te Ao, Te Whare Wānanga o Waikato, 2002-09) Gibson, John
Information and communication technology plays an ever-growing role in economic, political and social life and those who are unable to access such technologies are increasingly disadvantaged. Hence, what has come to be known as the ‘digital divide’ is of considerable significance. Here, indicators of that divide as it affects Māori and Pacific Islands peoples in Aotearoa/New Zealand are presented and discussed.
Ngā tai e rere nei i waho o Mauao
(Te Pua Wānanga ki te Ao, Te Whare Wānanga o Waikato, 2002-09) Ngahuia, Dixon
"I te ao o ngā tūpuna he maha ngā kaupapa o taua wā i mau ki rō waiata, e whakaata mai ana i ngā kōrero-ā-iwi, ngā taukumekume i waenganui Māori, Pākehā, i waenganui hoki i ngā Māori anō. Nā wai hoki ka puta mai ngā herenga ki waenganui i tēnā iwi, i tēnā hapū, ka whakahoahoa tēnā iwi ki tēnā, te mutunga mai ka whānau ake ngā rōpū hou hei wānanga i ngā kaupapa i manawapātia. I pērā anō hoki ngā iwi o Tauranga Moana, ka huri atu ki tēnei iwi, ki tēnā hei huarahi tautoko āwhina mai i aua kaupapa nei. Ko ngā pupurihanga o ēnei taonga tuku iho e whakaahua mai ana i ngā kaupapa i waenganui i te ao Māori i aua wā, mō te iwi, mō te tangata kotahi rānei. Mā ēnei hoki kitea atu ai tā rātou titiro ki te ao i aua wā. He whiringa kōrero tēnei pepa mō tētehi waiata a Ngāi-TeRangi e whakamōhio ake ana i tētehi taukumekume i waenganui i a rāua ko Ngāti Kahungunu. Ka kitea i roto i ngā kōrero ka puta ngā huarahi whakapā atu ai ki tēnā iwi, hapū i waenganui, i waho atu rānei o Ngāi-TeRangi hei āwhina mai i te pupuri mana. Arā anō hoki te whakanui i ēnei momo waiata, ōna mana me te mātauranga Māori e pupū ake ana i konei. The waiata of our tūpuna Māori (Māori ancestors) capture in verse many issues and topics that were of significance at the time they were composed. They provide us with snapshots of iwi histories, including accounts of battles between Māori and Pākehā and between Māori and Māori. They tell us of alliances formed and reformed between tribes and hapū and of the reasons for these alliances. We see how the alignment and realignment of kin loyalties related to the issues of the day. Tauranga Moana iwi were not immune to such activities: tribal loyalties were chameleon-like, many alliances being pursued in relation to common interests. The ‘oral mapping’ of these local narratives that we find in waiata provides an illustration of topics relevant to individuals and to iwi: personal and collective statements about the ‘order’ of their day. They provide us with an insight into our ancestors’ ‘ways of seeing the world’. Above all, they are fundamental to the illustration and preservation of Māori knowledge. This paper presents an analysis of a Ngāi-TeRangi waiata tangi (lament) which relates to activities linking the iwi in a political stance against Ngāti Kahungunu. What is demonstrated is the intricate network of iwi and hapū involvement, within and without Ngāi-TeRangi, in the quest for honour. What is also demonstrated is the importance of waiata as significant literary achievements, as oral treasures."
