Abstract
Keynote address to the annual conference of the
NZ Psychological Society, 28 August 2004
E rau rangatira ma, tena ra koutou….
This presentation will be in four sections.
The first section will introduce two major issues, mana motuhake, and
manatangata, then we will consider some proposed legislation, the Seabed
& Foreshore Bill and the Civil Union Bill.
We will then consider strategic Maori response to political pressure over the
last three decades, and then note two recent and dramatic examples. They
are the Hikoi Takutai Moana, April 2004, and the Enough is Enough Rally,
August 2004
In the final section, we will consider the implications for psychologies and
psychologists working today in Aotearoa.
