  2. ‘PAKEHA’, ITS ORIGIN AND MEANINGby Jodie Ranford (excerpt from her paper) • I accept the derivation of ‘Pakeha’ from ‘Pakepakeha’ because it establishes a clear whakapapa, or genealogy of the term ‘Pakeha’. • Paakehakeha • Gods of the ocean who had the forms of fish and man • Patupaiarehe • Beings with fair skin and hair who gave people the secret of fishing with nets • Pakepakeha • Mythical, human like being, with fair skin and hair who possessed canoes made of reeds which changed magically into sailing vessels • Pakeha • Originally referring to the early European settlers of New Zealand • These clear linkages give a poetic truth to the term ‘Pakeha’, each version associating ‘Pakeha’ with the ocean, which is how immigrants have arrived in Aotearoa from Cook’s first voyage to present day.

  3. The Meaning of ‘Maori’ • In the Māori language the word māori means "normal", "natural" or "ordinary". In legends and other oral traditions, the word distinguished ordinary mortal human beings from deities and spirits (wairua). • Maori are a composition of many Iwi (Tribes) Hapu (Subtribes) and Whanau units. • The Maori Purposes Act of 1947 required the use of the term 'Maori' rather than 'Native' in official usage, and the "Department of Native Affairs" became the "Department of Māori Affairs". It is now known as "Te PuniKōkiri" or "The Ministry for Māori Development". • Prior to 1974 ancestry determined the legal definition of "a Māori person". For example, bloodlines determined whether a person should enrol on the Māori or general (European) electoral roll; in 1947 the authorities determined that one man, five-eighths Māori, had improperly voted in the general (European) parliamentary electorate of Raglan. The Māori Affairs Amendment Act 1974 changed the definition to one of cultural self-identification. In matters involving money (for example scholarships or Waitangi Tribunal settlements), the authorities generally require some demonstration of ancestry or cultural connection, but no minimum “blood” requirement exists.

  4. Meaning of the All Black Haka • A Ka mate! Ka mate! Ka ora! Ka ora! • Ka mate! Ka mate! Ka ora! Ka ora! • Teneitetangatapuhuruhuru • Nana neii tiki mai • Whakawhititera • A upa ... ne! ka upa ... ne! • A upanekaupanewhititera! • Hi !! • I die! I die! I live! I live! • I die! I die! I live! I live! • This is the hairy man • Who fetched the Sun • And caused it to shine again • One upward step! Another upward step! • An upward step, another.. the Sun shines!! • If you want to know the story behind the haka see the attachment to this instalment.
