A process of colonisation in New Zealand.

Dessigned to get the two parties, Crown and maori to work together according to the three principles: partnership, protection and participation.

Two versions that were worded differently due to having no direct translation.

Led to two different interpretations.

Not everyone signed the Treaty.

Maori was treated as one group instead of taking into account individual hapu, iwi, etc.

Interpretation of how the Treaty is taught has changed frequently

The treaty is an agreement between Maori and Non-Maori

Different version - different meanings or interpretations

translations not exact translation into Maori
Founding document of our Nation
Point of reference that defines our country as a nation
Travelled round the country, and didn't get all signed, and not properly explained before signed - so - the Crown had a different version/translation which was signed - so some signed with a different contextual understanding

An agreement between Maori and the British

2018-03-20 02:45:32 UTC

Signed in 1840 (Feb 6th) in Waitangi

Intentional manipulation

2018-03-20 02:46:35 UTC

Intentional manipulation of key terms so Maori would seed sovereignty to the Crown. Different versions to reflect different regional dialects and changing of key terms to hide true outcome of signing
the treaty.

Treaty of Waitangi, signed in 1840, a legally binding document, different versions were deliberately manipulated by the British to take control over NZ. The articles of the treaty were with regards to sovereignty, land and rights.

2018-03-20 02:46:38 UTC

Intended to get all people of influence to sign it - incuding some women (Maori).

2018-03-20 02:47:27 UTC

Covert way of overtaking this country

i_marinotauhinu — 2018-03-20 02:47:31 UTC

Land wars disregarding the Treaty.

2018-03-20 02:48:32 UTC

Land sales, governance, citizenship.

2018-03-20 02:49:35 UTC

The word 'governance' translated differently to British than it did to Maori - hence two interpretations.

Nga manu

2018-03-20 03:06:06 UTC

Disconnection from their own culture.

Stigma attached to some students who were embarrassed to be Maori.

Stereotypical views of Maori and some live up to that stereotype to fit into a group.

Negative views of school through generations of not having a positive experience whilst at school.

Some schools are embracing Maori culture more than others.

Disengagement by some Maori student who do not fit into a 'westernised school structure.'

To add value to Maori culture and language, put it on a par with English. If New Zealand is a tri-language country and English is compulsory until Year 11, make Te Reo and sign language also.

Sense of Worth

2018-03-20 03:07:42 UTC

Lack of respect of culture has meant students do not embrace their culture as their family has been disenfranchised.
Who is responsible for improving engagement with their own culture...is it the individual?is it the whanau? Is it teachers? is it the government?

smu2 — 2018-03-20 03:07:53 UTC

Disenfranchised: disconnected/ removed from Maori culture; loss of authentic culture
Resentment on all sides
One culture enforced on other
Everyone wants to belong. If there is a gap, it will be filled by something else (black american rap culture, gangs etc).

The kids in PHS very limited in their use of Te Reo Maori maybe because it was due to the generation before that would have experienced the absent of Te Reo in their time in school. It was known that our parents would have got smacked for speaking in Te Reo at school in the 1940s - 1970s. Speaking Te Reo was almost never allowed to be used in school. Western leaders of the time would end the Te Reo speaking etc. Kids of this generation are affected by past consequences of neglected the Te Reo. Kids do not know who they are or where they come from and no idea where they belong and their identity. Kids don't know their history, and do not know where they belong. This is why our kids are struggling in class because they do not know who they are.

Social disconnectedness.
Loss of self identity/ Maori identity.

No connection to their identity therefore they drift into unscrupulous categories i.e. gangs etc.

the longterm effects of colonialism on today's generation of te reo learners/speakers. Who is responsible for helping todays akonga?our communities/school/whanau

Institutionalized racism and unconscious bias work against our Māori children.

curriculum

2018-03-20 03:15:32 UTC

Science and Maori are often on the same line in the timetable - message you can be academic or Moari.

Students hiding the fact they can speak Te Reo.

Understand the culture before the language.

Vocabulary is important to understand the culture. Language should not be taught and learned in isolation

How do we get students to embrace being Maori?

How to re-write our junior curriculum to encompass the 3 Ps effectively to help engage students

How do we make sure that we include Maori identity into everything we do rather than just tokenism?

Polyfest is such a big part of our school life/ term 1. Many students can earn a large amount of credits by succeeding AS MAORI (and other cultures also). Why do we keep it as a separate entity that must happen as an add on to learning, and outside of school hours? If we were truly committed to this, wouldn't we be looking at ways to make it THE learning??
