The World Of The Maori - are

Maori soldiers signing up for the First World War representing a formidable fighting force - Te Hokowhitu a Tu, or the Seventy twice-told warriors of the war god, Tumatauenga. Some 2, Maori and Pacific Islanders enlisted with the Maori Pioneer Battalion, providing an essential element in the New Zealand Division's fighting effort, and earning a reputation for bravery and dependability in France, Flanders and beyond. Prejudice kept the Maori Pioneer Battalion well back from the front lines as support troops, but their war efforts won them rights as full citizens of their homelands. Drawing on rare archival material and previously unpublished diaries and letters, Te Hokowhitu a Tu is the authoritative account of Maori and Pacific Islanders in the First World War, and balances the wider story of the Pioneer Battalion's exploits with a portrait of daily life for soldiers who labored not only against the enemy but also racism behind their own lines. It includes numerous photographs and a full list of those who fought with the Battalion. Add to Cart. Add to Wishlist. System by Circle. The World Of The Maori

The World Of The Maori - consider, that

Start thinking about the Maori economy, which has been doing well and has lots of potential. The report - for Te Puni Kokiri the Ministry of Maori Development - uses much the same tools to analyse the "Maori economy" as for a national economy. This turns on its head the usual approach of "asking how Maori can achieve an equal status within the New Zealand economy", says NZIER director Alex Sundakov, and instead asks "of the Maori economy the same question we would ask of other economies: what can and should be done to accelerate its economic development compared with its past performance? See box The NZIER defines the Maori economy as "all those businesses and transactions where 'Maoriness' matters" and "includes the activities based on collectively owned Maori assets, the businesses of the self-employed who identify as Maori, commercial transactions involving Maori culture, services oriented to specific Maori needs notably, on behalf of the Government in social services as well as housing owned by Maori". That excludes Maori labour in the general economy, except as it feeds back to the Maori economy. Data on many of these activities are hard to come by so the NZIER has in effect guesstimated their contribution, in most cases "applying a proportion to the national activity" for an industry. This will provide fertile ground for dispute. But it also helps make the report's case for much more statistical work to be done. The report wants Maori development in Government thinking to escape from an "entrenched view of Maori issues being a form of social and Treaty risk management". Thus Maori "export" labour and capital to the general economy.
