title: The importance of Māori identity for athletes and sportspeople within sporting contexts

authors: Westrupp, Maia Takamoana

subjects: Māori

abstract: Identity is an important concept within psychology given its influence upon how we perceive ourselves, who we are as people, and how it can impact behaviour. For Māori, colonisation has had a detrimental impact on the maintenance and flourishing of a strong cultural identity. Sport is an area where Māori have not only contributed successfully nationally and internationally alongside Pakeha, but have been able to either affirm or rebuild their sense of cultural identity and connectedness. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the importance of Māori identity for athletes and sports people within a sporting context. This research project encompassed a qualitative approach, drawing upon a kaupapa Māori research paradigm. Semi-structured interviews were employed to ascertain in depth knowledge of participant’s experiences. A total of six participants took part in this study, all of whom were made up of athletes, coaches, and sports psychologists. When interpreting participants understanding of Māori identity within a sporting context, participants indicated a desire to configure their Māori identity based on Māori cultural concepts such as whakapapa, manaakitanga, and pēpeha. The key findings also identified a link between Māori identity and sport as participants illustrated how important Māori identity was within their sports team and organisation. Participants also indicated an unconscious link to enhanced sporting behaviours given the essence of Māori identity and the significance it places on serving the collective. Ultimately, for Māori athletes and sports people, the sporting realm offers an opportunity to engage and reaffirm Māori identity. Additionally, the value sporting teams and organisations place on Māori identity, can lead to flourishing in sport given the behaviours that may transpire by connecting the individual beyond purely, the physical domain.

title: Te whakatau i te mita o Ngāti Kahungunu; tōna hītori, tōna whanaketanga me tōna ahunga whakamua

authors: MacLeod, Jeremy Tātere

subjects: Ngāti Kahungunu, Dialect

Ko Te Whanganui-a-Tara te maunga,
Ko Waingōngoro te awa,
Ko Takitimu te waka,
Ko Waimārama te marae,
Ko Taupunga te whare,
Ko Ngāti Kahungunu te iwi,
Ko Ngāti Kurukuru te hapū.

Ko te reo Māori taku reo tuarua. He mea ako ahau e ētahi o ngā tino mātanga reo o te motu. He reo takitini tōku, arā, he whenumitanga nō ngā momo reo o te motu. Ko te nuinga o ōku kaiako nō Ngāti Kahungunu, nō Ngāi Tūhoe me Ngāti Porou hoki. I a au ka tīmata ki te ako i taku reo nei, tere tonu taku rongo i ngā rerekētanga o ngā reo o aku kaiako o Tūhoe me Ngāti Porou. He āhuatanga tērā kāore au i rongo i aku kaiako o Kahungunu nei. Koirā te wā i tīmata ai te kōrori o te tōmina o roto i au ki te rangahau i ngā momo rerekētanga ā-reo o aku tīpuna o Ngāti Kahungunu nei. Nō te tau 2010 ka kopoua ahau hai Pouarataki Reo ki Te Kaporeihana ā-Iwi o Ngāti Kahungunu. Ko taku mahi matua ko te whakatinana i te rautaki whakarauora reo Māori a Ngāti Kahungunu. Ko te whāinga matua o te rautaki i taua wā, ko te whakahoki mai i te ‘reo o Kahungunu’ hai reo kōrero mō Ngāti Kahungunu. Uaua ana ki a au tērā te whakatutuki nā taku kore i āta mārama he aha rā taua reo o Kahungunu nei. 

He ruarua rawa atu ngā kōrero mō te kaupapa nei, arā, te mita, ngā mita rānei o Ngāti Kahungunu. Koinei anō tētahi take i kaha hiahia ahau ki te rangahau i te kaupapa nei. Kai reira anō ētahi rangahau pēnei i ā Dr. Joseph Te Rito rāua ko Lee Smith, engari, kāore anō kia āta whakatauhia he aha oti te mita o Kahungunu, mehemea rānei he mita tōna, ōna rānei. Kāore anō kia āta rangahautia ngā motuhaketanga ā reo o ngā tīpuna o Ngāti Kahungunu mai i runga ki raro. Ko ētahi kua rangahau i ngā putunga kōrero ā-oro nei, ko ētahi kua rangahau i ngā kupu i roto i ngā tuhinga a ngā kaumātua, engari kāore anō tētahi rangahau kotahi kia āta tātari i ngā rerekētanga matua e toru o tēnei mea te mita, arā, ngā rerekētanga ā-wetereo, ā wetekupu, ātangi anō hoki. 

Ko te kaupapa matua o taku tuhinga nei ko: Te whakatau i te mita o Ngāti Kahungunu; tōna hītori, tōna whanaketanga me tōna ahunga whakamua. 


Ko ngā pātai mātāmua:
 He aha oti te mita o Ngāti Kahungunu – tōna hītori, tōna whanaketanga me tōna āpōpō?
 He aha te wāhi ki te mita i roto i te rautaki whakarauora reo pae tawhiti a te iwi?


Ko ngā pātai mātāmuri:
 He aha tēnei mea, te mita?
 He aha tēnei mea, te mita i roto i te reo Māori?
 Ko wai a Ngāti Kahungunu?
 He mita rānei tō Ngāti Kahungunu?
 He aha te wāhi ki te mita i roto i ngā mahere whakarauora reo?


Ko tētahi atu take nui, ko tēnei kupu, te mita. Ko ētahi e whakamahi ana i te mita hai tohu i ngā motuhaketanga ā-reo o tēnā iwi, o tēnā rohe. Ko ētahi e whakamahi ana i te reo ā-iwi, ko ētahi e whakamahi ana i te rangi o te reo. Kāore anō tētahi tangata kotahi kia āta wetewete i te kupu mita, me te wānanga āe rānei e tika ana tērā kupu mō tēnei mea te rerekētanga ā-reo o tētahi rohe, o tētahi rōpū rānei. He kupu mino te kupu mita, arā, he mea tiki ake i te reo Pākehā. E hia nei ōna whakapākehātanga. Ko tētahi mate nui ko te korenga o tētahi kupu wairua Māori nei hai kupu matua mō ngā rerekētanga ā-reo nei. Hai te upoko whakamutunga o taku tuhinga nei ahau hoatu ai i tētahi kupu hou mō te mita, arā, ko te tūreo. Ko te tikanga o te tūreo, ko ngā tūmomo rerekētanga o te reo e motuhake ana ki tētahi rōpū, ki tētahi rohe rānei. Ki te wetewetehia te kupu tūreo nei ka kitea kua honoa mai ko te ‘tū’ me te ‘reo’ kia kotahi te kupu. Ko taua ‘tū’ rā, he kupu anō mō te momo. Ka noho ko te tūreo nei hai kupu whānui mō ngā tūmomo rerekētanga ā-reo e motuhake ana ki tētahi rōpū, ki tētahi rohe rānei. Ki a au, me ruke te kupu mita ki tāhaki, ka whakamahi ai i te kupu tūreo ā muri ake nei. Ka heke mai i taua kupu ko ngā momo tūreo e rua nei – ā-pāpori me te ā-rohe. Nā, ka heke mai i aua momo tūreo e rua ko ngā wāhanga e toru e tohu ana i ngā momo rerekētanga o te reo – ā wetereo, ā-wetekupu, ā-tangi anō hoki. Kua oti nei tētahi anga mita hou hai āwhina i te hunga rangahau.

Kua oti i a au tētahi tūāpapa mō te kohinga kōrero ā-tuhi me te kohinga kōrero ā-oro. Ka noho ko aua kohinga e rua hai puna mātauranga mō ngā mahi rangahau i ngā kōrero a ngā tīpuna me kore e kitea iho ētahi tū āhuatanga ā-reo hai whakahoki mai ki te reo o ēnei wā nei. Ko te tūtohunga nui ko te waihanga i tētahi tūreo ā pāpori hou hai kinaki i te reo ā-motu nāna nei i ora ai te reo huri noa ki roto o Ngāti Kahungunu. Me waihanga tētahi tūreo hou hai tohu tuakiritanga mō Ngāti Kahungunu kia riro ai mā ētahi tū āhuatanga o tōna reo hai whakaatu atu nō Kahungunu te tangata e tū atu nei. 

E tutuki ai tēnei moemoeā me tautoko te hunga kōrero Māori katoa o Ngāti Kahungunu nei. Kai te kaupapa nei ōna anō papatoiaketanga, pēnei i te kimi i te pūtea e taea ai te utu te hunga rangahau i te kohinga kōrero. E ea ai te wawata nei, me kaha te whakaemi mai a Ngāti Kahungunu ki te tautoko i te kaupapa rangahau, ka 10 tau pea tōna roa, ā, oti rawa ake kua whai tūreo ā-pāpori hou a Ngāti Kahungunu hai kinaki i te reo ā-motu, hai tohu tuakiritanga anō hoki.

title: Evaluating input standards for non-point pollution control under firm heterogeneity

authors: Doole, Graeme J.

subjects: firm heterogeneity

abstract: The efficacy and cost of input standards for reducing nitrate pollution from New Zealand dairy production are evaluated. In contrast to previous studies, firm heterogeneity is explicitly considered through the novel integration of efficient techniques for the calibration and decomposition of large optimisation models. Nitrogen fertiliser application should not be targeted by policy given its minor role in determining emissions. In contrast, livestock intensity is an appropriate base for regulation given its strong correlation with pollutant load. Abatement cost increases as stocking rate declines, but this can be offset at low levels of regulation through utilising slack feed resources to improve per-cow milk production. Both uniform and differentiated input standards based on livestock intensity achieve substantial decreases in pollutant load at moderate cost. However, because of disparity in the slopes of abatement cost curves across firms, a differentiated policy is more cost-effective at the levels of regulation required to achieve key societal goals for improved water quality.
