title: The Conservation Movement in New Zealand

authors: Allen, Peter D.H.

abstract: Over the past 150 years of European settlement of New Zealand, the basis of economic growth has been the exploitation of her natural resources. 
The object of this study is to examine the character, motives, and exploitation of the natural resources, and the growth of attitudes to conservation. Because of the scope that such a study could cover, it is necessary to restrict it to the more outstanding characteristics of the movement for conservation in New Zealand. 
In the first chapter the conservation movement, particularly that of the United States, will be discussed. This will be followed in Chapter II by an examination of the resource elements of New Zealand in terms of their nature and degree of exhaustibility. 
In Chapter III, conservation policies and attitudes towards various resources will be identified, from the early years of European settlement to the end of World War II. The changing attitudes to the utilisation of resources, will be examined to determine their relative importance in deciding how various resources will be utilised. 
Contemporary attitudes to the utilisation of utilisation of resources, and to the conservation of those resources will be examined in Chapter IV. 
In the final chapter an attempt will be made to - 6 - identify a "conservation movement" in New Zealand in terms of the development of attitudes to resource use over the 150 years of European settlement. 
This study is made with the aim of highlighting developments in conservation thought at a time when the implications of' "conservation" are assuming increasing importance for New Zealand.

title: Software for the rest of the world

authors: Yeo, Alvin

subjects: computer science

abstract: A survey is made of facets of the process of providing software across national and cultural boundaries. Internationalisation (i18n), localisation (1 10n) and globalisation (g11n) are identified as three descriptors for recent Information Technology developments in this field. Current practice and advice for successfully providing software in places other than countries and cultures of origin is reported. Suggestions for further work are made in the light of the survey.

title: Toi Tuku Iho: An exploration of oranga and mana motuhake through toi

authors: Waititi, Kahurangi Rora

subjects: Toi tuku iho

abstract: This research examines how mahi toi as process, theory, and output can contribute to oranga and mana motuhake for whānau, hapū, and iwi which is explored through the tribal storytelling practices of Te Whānau a Apanui. In this thesis, I argue that kōrero tuku iho is the umbilical link to our ancestors that sustains us with teachings; cultivating a richness and depth of self and connection through story. I demonstrate that the vehicles of sharing are as varied as the stories themselves and are known as “toi” or our creative expressions of kōrero tuku iho. 
The key focus of this thesis is to reveal how toi can be used to decolonise and re-indigenise research methodologies and facilitate transformation through praxis. Iwi storytellers were interviewed, sharing that within our toi practices lie a myriad of ways to challenge colonial structures and ideologies, ground us in tīpuna knowledge systems, and provide a space to innovate solutions to the challenges of te ao hurihuri (a changing world). The kaikōrero provided a collective and relational lens that fostered the development of a Toi Tuku Iho methodology. This was processed through a creative output that I created of a digital story that was filmed to reveal how knowledge through stories can become taonga tuku iho. A Toi Tuku Iho methodology is proffered to understand the complex processes of iwi storytelling and reveal the relationality between innovation and what this thesis refers to as the tipuna continuum.
Themes explored in the thesis are an ecosystem of learning through people, place, story, whakapapa and time; how iwi oranga is viewed and contributed to by toi; and how mana motuhake is embraced and enacted through kōrero tuku iho. Furthermore, the application of kaupapa Māori creative practices to this research expands the academic confines of knowledge production to include Indigenous stories and toi. The thesis demonstrates that the research process, potential products, and outcomes, are transformed by using these practices.  Storyscapes, timescapes, landscapes and generations past and future merge together, in this research, to facilitate dreams and aspirations for future generations. The collapsing of timescapes is explored through audio-visual digital storytelling, a medium known to manoeuvre time to enhance a story. I seek to amplify the power of tribal storytelling through toi to transform the spaces we occupy both within and outside of our iwi. Mahi toi ignites our creative selves to dream and can activate a belief to explore beyond what we know. I argue that Toi Tuku Iho has the potential to engage communities, on their own terms, in their own ways and for their own means.
