Islands and Cultures

How Pacific Islands Provide Paths toward Sustainability

By: Kamanamaikalani Beamer,Te Maire Tau,Peter M. Vitousek

A uniquely collaborative analysis of human adaptation to the Polynesian islands, told through oral histories, biophysical evidence, and historical records Humans began to settle the area we know as Polynesia between 3,000 and 800 years ago, bringing with them material culture, including plants and animals, and ideas about societal organization, and then adapting to the specific biophysical features of the islands they discovered. The authors of this book analyze the formation of their human-environment systems using oral histories, biophysical evidence, and historical records, arguing that the Polynesian islands can serve as useful models for how human societies in general interact with their environments. The islands’ clearly defined (and relatively isolated) environments, comparatively recent discovery by humans, and innovative and dynamic societies allow for insights not available when studying other cultures. Kamana Beamer, Te Maire Tau, and Peter Vitousek have collaborated with a dozen other scholars, many of them Polynesian, to show how these cultures adapted to novel environments in the past and how we can draw insights for global sustainability today.

He Pukapuka Tataku i Nga Mahi a Te Rauparaha Nui / A Record of the Life of the Great Te Rauparaha

By: Tamihana Te Rauparaha

Te Rauparaha is most well known today as the composer of the haka &‘Ka mate', made famous the world over by the All Blacks. A major figure in nineteenth-century history, Te Rauparaha was responsible for rearranging the tribal landscape of a large part of the country after leading his tribe Ngati Toa to migrate to Kapiti Island. He is venerated by his own descendants but reviled with equal passion by the descendants of those tribes who were on the receiving end of his military campaigns in the musket-war era. He Pukapuka Tataku i nga Mahi a Te Rauparaha Nui is a 50,000-word account in te reo Maori of Te Rauparaha's life, written by his son Tamihana Te Rauparaha between 1866 and 1869. A pioneering work of Maori (and, indeed, indigenous) biography, Tamihana's narrative weaves together the oral accounts of his father and other kaumatua to produce an extraordinary record of Te Rauparaha and his rapidly changing world. Edited and translated by Ross Calman, a descendant of Te Rauparaha, He Pukapuka Tataku i nga Mahi a Te Rauparaha Nui makes available for the first time this major work of Maori literature in a parallel Maori/English edition.

Treaty-Based Guidelines and Protocols for Tertiary Education Institutions

By: Te Maire Tau,David Ormsby,Marjorie Manthei,Tahu Potiki

These guidelines represent the collective efforts of the partners of Te Tapuae o Rehua to clarify what exactly a Treaty relationship means for tertiary institutions. All partners agree that we need to produce more Maori graduates within the sciences, social sciences, humanities, engineering and commerce. We need more Maori teachers. But we also need to improve participation, achievement and retention and this requires a committed relationship between the tertiary institutions and their Treaty partner. Ngai Tahu has recognised that establishing a tribal University would be limiting and the tertiary institutions recognise that they must work with Ngai Tahu to ensure a functional working relationship that is based on the Treaty of Waitangi. It is also in theory, financially rational.
