The Treaty of Waitangi is a very important document to New Zealand. It is an agreement that was drawn up by representatives of the British Crown and Maori Hapu and Iwi. It was first signed at the Bay of Islands on February 6th, 1840. There has been a lot of debate over the years about the translation of words between the English and Te Reo Maori versions of the text and the differences in the word meaning over the who languages. In this assignment I am going to cover the rights and responsibilities
Paragraph 1 - There were numerous events that led to the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in the 1830’s one such event known as the Harriet Affair led them to fight between Maori and Pakeha, through, cannibalism, events, and inequality. One such event became the well known Harriet Affair this happened in April 1834. During this event, the Guard family consisting of Elizabeth, John, her two children and shiploads of unnamed crew members boarded a ship, where they were tragically shipwrecked on the
role in health care. In addition, nurses need to provide health service and care to the community which included different age groups, gender and culture groups, therefore, nurses need to be cultural appropriate and also need to understand The Treaty of Waitangi to ensure it is cultural safe for the society. Moreover, it is important to understand how should nurses related their own action and their health philosophy, as a result, can help nurses to identify their role. Hence, it is curial to explore
Maori Land Issues It^s a known fact that land issues have always been a major topic within Maori and Pakeha race relations in New Zealand. The disputes go back to the 1800 when the Treaty of Waitangi was signed in 1840. According to the second article of the Treaty, land could only be sold to the Crown if the owners wished to sell them. Disputes over the government^s attempts to buy more land at very cheap prices that were below the value of the land was one of the many reasons that
reo is their way of cultural immersion, transmission and integration (Hayward, 2004). When the Treaty of Waitangi was signed in 1840, Maori remained the language of the people, allowing the publication of the first Maori language newspaper. By the 1850’s the massive migration of the Pakeha exceeded the total population of the local Maori. The impact of colonosation took place. The signing of the treaty brought forth a change in the mind-setting o... ... middle of paper ... .... Walker, R. (1996)
The Te Tiriti o Waitangi was a contract that Maori people believe to be an acknowledgement of their existence and their prior occupation to the land, give respect to their language, culture and belief and “it established the regime not for uni-culturalism, but for bi-culturalism” (Sorrenson, 2004 p. 162). This essay discusses the historical events, attitudes and beliefs regarding Te reo Maori, its relationship to the Te Tiriti o Waitangi and the significance of bicultural practice in early childhood
The Maori language of New Zealand is considered to be special language within Malayo-Polynesian language group. Malayo-Polynesian family of languages is actually divided into four categories or sub-families – Polynesian, Melanesian, Micronesian and Indonesian. The Maori Language belongs to eastern Polynesian languages sub-family and is relatively close to its neighboring languages. Spectacular and worrisome part at the same time is that there are less than 10,000 fluent Maori speakers left. The
Maori Affairs Committee made smokefree 2025 their election campaign which not only became a popular topic to discuss why this is an important issue, but also how they will achieve this (MOH, 2014). The treaty of Waitangi has a great influence in this campaign as the Maori Affairs Committee use the treaty as their back bone to set up facilities for

We can observe the development of English in New Zealand through the examination of how English was introduced and became the dominant language as a result of the weakening of Maori culture, the authorization of the Treaty of Waitangi and the encouragement of English education; and how New Zealand English formed its distinctive features in respect to the mixture of early settlers, the interaction between European immigrants and the indigenous Maoris and the communication
Pompallier House, built and first occupied by French Roman Catholic missionaries of the Society of Mary, it has significant association with notable people and events that occurred within the history of New Zealand. Erected on a section of land with “70 feet frontage to the sea” and served as a mission printing house and later a residential home. French architect Louis Perret led the project and Pise de Terre was the primary method of construction. The building is said to been completed around August
Though only 14.6 per cent of the New Zealand population is Maori, Maori constitute 50 per cent of all persons imprisoned (Department of Corrections, 2007). Thus, it is apparent that New Zealand’s Indigenous population is overrepresented in its criminal justice system. The causes of this disproportionately high rate of Maori incarceration stem from colonialism. To address this social injustice, New Zealand courts have attempted to recognise indigeneity in the sentencing of Maori offenders. However
New Zealand Early Childhood Education services, since the year 1996, has used Te Whāriki as their curriculum basis due to the implementation and rule of the Ministry of Education. This implementation has brought about many benefits within this educational context. The curriculum is deepened and enriched through the integration of Te Whāriki throughout all aspects of it. This provides a solid bicultural framework for teachers and a higher quality education, therefore enhancing the learning of young
First of all,I believe that Treaty 7 was not very effective in uniting the Canadian and the First Nations,because the reasons it was made for and the terms.But before we get into the terms of the treaty,we should talk about the Treaty first.The treaty was the 7th in the Numbered Treaties,so we can easily spot the significance of the legal document.It was signed on September 22 ,1877.The Treaty was signed between the First Nations and the Canadians and,as often happens in history,First Nations mostly
Throughout the past decades, Māori has been heavily over-represented in the New Zealand criminal justice system. Māori is significantly more likely to be disadvantaged by various risk factors which are linked to criminal offending behaviours. This is not a new phenomenon towards indigenous people as it is a long-standing, wicked problem, with origins in the discriminatory colonial practices. Based on Statistic New Zealand, Maori are 15 percentage of the New Zealand population and yet Maori accounted
7. People do not like to show that they have anything bad happen to them much less any mistakes a person or government did. Revisionism is existing today, The Party said that Oceania had never been in alliance with Eurasia. He, Winston Smith, knew that Oceania had been in alliance with Eurasia as short a time as four years ago. But where did that knowledge exist? Only in his own consciousness, which in any case must soon be annihilated.” (Orwell 54) By controlling the past this means that the Party
Sir F. Truby King; The Story of the Teeth (and how to save them) will be the piece of documentation that will be analysed in the course of this essay, alongside minor reference to a nineteen o’ nine public health poster. Both documents, although produced twenty four years apart from one another provide critical insight to early twentieth century attitudes towards the health of children and the role that mothers had to play. Firstly discussed will be the reason for Truby King placing such a huge
Treaty is an international agreement settled between states governed by international law. It plays an important role in the problem solving which needs both national and international responses between countries and it has increasingly used especially in this technological era. Treaties act to keep people’s rights and protection being secured. International treaties have significant influences on Australian law as it acts as an alternative guideline for commonwealth parliament to refer to when
Cultural safety is derived from inequalities for Maori; therefore, it has been developed since late 1980 due to some issues around Maori health. In the 1990, the Council amended its standard to incorporate cultural safety into its curriculum assessment process (Richardson & MacGibbon, 2001). In addition, people who work in the health centre need to deal with the patients from many different countries, which lead the societies to become multicultural; therefore, cultural competence has been addressed
those values and beliefs to empower and develop communities. Health promoters need to understand the key principles of community development, how culture impacts community development and also have a clear understanding about the Treaty of Waitangi, and use the Treaty of Waitangi in health promotion practise (Kreuter, Lukwago, Bucholtz, Clark & Sanders-Thompson, 2003). Community development can vary between communities, due to differences in culture, beliefs, values, and a range of other different factors
