Today in NZ History http://www.nzhistory.net.nz/timeline&new_date=24/08
Starter Activity • You have three minutes to review your notes from last class. • You are to envision yourself as a Maori from the period of 1949-1960. Tell me something relating to your social, political or economic life. You may also name important leaders or events of significance to you. • When I say, we will form two lines across from each other outside. I will walk through the two lines and as I stop on each person in line, you will give a statement to express your feelings/attitudes during this period.
Today’s objectives: To find out.... • What was the Hunn Report, 1960? • What was the Maori Welfare Act, 1962? • What was the NZ Maori Council? • Ultimately, what affect did this have on Maori Pakeha relations throughout the 1960’s?
The Hunn Magic Wheel Solution
NZ Maori Council • In 1962 the National government passed the Maori Welfare Act. NZ Maori Council formed from this act. • Responsible for advising, and raising government awareness of issues that would improve social and economic conditions for Maori (housing, health, employment, education). • National encourages Non–tribal arguing that it is more effective • National also preferred conservative Council Members. This meant that the influence of Maori who opposed its policies was reduced.
