	Social Perspectives Article on Building Communities by Ross Nepia Himona (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Maori politics are not an appendage of the Parliamentary system, or a brown imitation of it.
		Maori politics are practised with great gusto, much noise, good humour, and sometimes too with considerable acrimony, just like the other variety, up and down the country every day, on almost every marae.
		It is not based on Maori political structures, and certainly Matiu Rata has been vocally opposed to the use of traditional structures, or their imitations, as vehicles for political power.

	Migration and Citizenship - AOTEAROA - APMRN
		Maori, in contesting the way in which the state now operates and in moving to establish communal forms of welfare and economic development, provide an interesting alternative which is quite different to the individualism and market competitiveness of the economic rationalist model.
		However, the thrust of Maori politics has increasingly tended to undermine this position to the point where, in the mid-1990s, a National Cabinet was responsible for substantial reparations to iwi and an apology to Tainui which stressed the impact of colonization in disempowering iwi.
		Philosophically and politically, the concern has been with the distributive mechanisms of an industrial, capitalist society and the issues of equity or justice have been couched in terms of ensuring that material benefits should be available to all as a way of countering some of the major socio-economic inequities that have been produced by capitalism.

	Behind the Rise of Maori Sovereignty (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Pushing Maori youth onto programmes to look up their whakapapa (genealogy) – that is, to which of the alleged original Maori canoes they can trace their ancestry – is a nice, harmless activity which will keep them from rioting in the streets the way ‘decultured’ fl youth in Britain and the USA do.
		Indeed, the white liberals and ‘new Maori radicals’ are united with the ruling class in being horrified at the fact that many urban Maori youth are attracted more to rap and other expressions of alienated fl youth in the USA than they are to so-called ‘traditional Maori culture’.
		Maori sovereignty, feminism and labourism are all obstacles to this: thus the importance of situating the rise of cultural ‘solutions’ and identities in the context of a decaying social order.

	liberation: Maori Liberation vs the Treaty Process
		Unemployment among Maori is officially 10 percent, twice the national average, while Maori continue to figure disproportionately in every social statistic relating to low household income, poor health, low levels of education and high levels of crime.
		The beneficiaries of biculturalism have not been ordinary Maori, but a small layer of entrepreneurs, bureaucrats and political leaders who were specifically cultivated to placate and suppress the legitimate strivings of the majority of the Maori population.
		Indeed the word Maori was not used to describe the population of the iwi existing in the pre-European period, and only came into general usage in the late 1800s.

	POLITICAL PARTIES - MAORI POLITICAL PARTIES - 1966 Encyclopaedia of New Zealand
		It is from this conservative element that the various Maori political movements have sprung – the sole exception being the Young Maori Party of Ngata.
		The Maori Parliament movement, which advocated complete self-government for the Maori race, flourished in the early 1890s when it was felt that Maori members of Parliament were unable to secure acceptance of their views by the European members.
		He insisted that the Maori members of Parliament should be representatives of the race rather than of their respective tribes and in January 1928 he selected four of his followers to contest elections.

	A revealing saga: New Zealand Maori MP faces charges over misuse of funds (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Maori form about 20 percent of the New Zealand population and are among the most oppressed sections of the working class.
		At the same time, Maori workers like the rest of their class brothers and sisters have suffered the consequences of two decades of economic restructuring that have produced high levels of unemployment and poverty and gutted public welfare, education and health services.
		But like other Maori leaders, Huata remained wedded to the limited and ultimately reactionary perspective of Maori politics and Maori self-determination—a process that was actively aided and abetted by the Stalinist Communist Party of New Zealand and various opportunist groups.

	New Zealand - Maori Politics
		On an another thread where Americans discussed politics and their reasons for leaving, someone said that Maori politics were a big issue in NZ.
		The maori have certain rights under the treaty that enable them to continue their use of certain parts of nz, such as the gathering of shell fish etc on public land, even where it is banned for others to take.
		What is different is that the Maori are politically mobilised and highly effective campaigners, and there is an increasing number of well educated, vocal maori who are pushing these agendas forward.

	Māori politics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Māori politics is the politics of the Māori people, who were the original inhabitants of New Zealand and who are now the country's largest minority.
		Modern Māori politics can be seen as a subset of New Zealand politics in general, but has a number of distinguishing features.
		In the 1996 elections, a major shift in Māori politics occurred when Labour lost all the Māori seats (of which there were now five) to the New Zealand First party.

		Unlike their counterparts in the western hemisphere, however, the Maori were able to adapt and “mesh” with the European colonists, allowing their culture and traditions to continue through to this day.
		Only recently have Maori officials been able to be elected into general seats on parliament, mainly due to the fact that – in order to vote in a general New Zealand election – one must own a substantial amount of land.
		While the Maori of New Zealand are not considered a "predominant" culture in the world today, they still remain a major influence in the overall society of New Zealand.

		Political reporting focused on the party's "poor position" in the opinion polls and the strategies the party was using to increase its standing.
		Maori and Tauiwi are being given different pictures of the world they live in and differing information on which to base their political decisions.
		If MMP politics is not to deteriorate to a system of backroom deals, the media will have to become a forum for public debate, allowing everyone to have a say in the new era of consensus politics.

	The Contemporary Evolution of Maori Protest
		The political turbulence created in the wake of the 1975 land march on parliament, Bastion Point, Raglan and the regular protests at Waitangi, once again revealed the exploitative and oppressive foundations on which capitalism had been established in Aotearoa.
		In the late 1960s and early 1970s Maori activists commonly asserted, in however ill-conceived or confused ways, that reformism was not an effective strategy and that only through a fundamental transformation of the system could Maori achieve liberation.
		This generated intense opposition and the ‘No Maori, no tour’ protests extended their focus not only to the question of the exclusion of Blacks in the Springbok team itself, but to the moral justification of contact with a nation which practised apartheid and wider issues of social justice.

		DAVID SPICER: In 1840, more than 500 Maori chiefs signed the historic Treaty of Waitangi, ceding sovereignty to Queen Victoria in return for the rights and privileges of British citizenship and payment for their lands.
		In New Zealand, Maori is recognised as an official language, it's on the street signs.
		There are guaranteed Maori seats in the Parliament and even though one was sacked this week by the Prime Minister, there are Ministers in the Government that are Maori.

		Furthermore, one in six Maori (102,000) aren't able to name which tribe they are descended from, suggesting that there is a significant break of ties between (urban) Maori and the traditional structures of Maoridom.
		Also, of the 565,000 identifying as Maori, only about a half claim that Maori is their sole ethnicity, with the bulk of others claiming to also be pakeha (42%), Pacific (7%), Asian (1.5%) or 'New Zealander' (2.3%).
		And then Matt McCarten wrote his Herald column this week on Maori royalty: Now's the time to get rid of the English monarchy and get our own in which he correctly says it's time to ditch the imperial royal line, but then strangely wants us to be subject to yet another (local) one.

	Maori and Politics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		The Maori population is not monolithic, and no one political or tribal authority can speak on behalf of all Maori.
		As of 2006, Maori politicians have seven designated Maori seats in the Parliament of New Zealand (and they may and do stand in and win the General seats), and consideration and consultation with Maori have become routine requirements for many New Zealand councils and government organisations.
		Debate occurs frequently as to the relevancy and legitimacy of the Maori electoral roll, although currently neither of the two major political parties intend to abolish it.

		Sadly the realities of politics may mean that my party has to deal with these people post election, just as it may mean we have to deal with NZ First, but even NZ First is not as bad (from my point of view) as the Maori Party.
		Maori opinion is essentially feudal in outlook and on that score National and Labour are at one.
		The Maori Party's current antipathy toward the State is not necessarily due to any strand of (modern) anti-statist view point, but rather can be seen as attempts at making Maori society able to reach it's former glories (a la Mussolini vs the Italian state and Hitler vs established politicians and the 'economic order').

	Scoop: Turia - Better representation for Maori?
		Four Maori seats were established, three in the North Island and one in the South, in time for the first elections for Maori members in 1868.
		The Maori MPs who were forced to the front of the Foreshore and Seabed Bill, in many ways like we remember the Maori members who were put at the frontline of the police charge on Takaparawha, or during the Springbox Tour, have received their commendations from the party machine.

		Those not acquainted with Maori politics may be surprised to hear that the wave of new and young Maori voters expected to emerge this election won’t necessarily be motivated by the Government's foreshore and seabed bill, according to commentators, journalists and others who spoke at this month’s (June) JTO election reporting seminars.
		According to most calculations, the Maori Party – despite its stated willingness to talk to any of the big parties about coalition or co-operation – may not be invited into coalition.
		The Maori Party's integrity in politics is yet to be tested, since it has yet to serve a term in the house.

		In the midst of the bitter political wrangle over Maori customary rights and ownership of New Zealand’s foreshores and seabed, former Alliance party deputy leader and leader of Mana Motuhake, Willie Jackson, has called for the formation of a new ‘grand coalition’ Maori political party, claiming that Labour has let Maori down.
		Maori Labour MP and former minister of Maori Affairs Dover Samuels has responded to Jackson’s comments: ‘It's not very effective sitting on the outside.
		I was very proud of the Maori MPs when they voted in a block earlier on, but I know they always have the opportunity to stand up against their party…I know this from my own experience.

		The centrality of the news media to contemporary politics demands that performance of political journalism in New Zealand is scrutinised and its function vigorously debated.
		But there was much more, including court cases on the enrolment of Maori voters; the drawing up of new electorate boundaries for the whole country; the drafting of new selection rules by political parties for their electorate and party-list candidates.
		This book tells the story of the Office and the Ombudsmen, but it also places ombudsman work in its political and legal contexts, noting the roles individuals have played and outlining some of the tens of thousands of investigations they have conducted.

		Support for the Maori party is evidently strongest among the lowest and highest income groups, with the middle-income Maori voters continuing to back Labour.
		Still, if Turia keeps her seat, the Maori Party will be cut in on the MMP apportionment, and could pick up three or four more seats with 20 percent of the Maori vote nationwide even without other electorates.
