Book excerpt: Excerpt from Agriculture The history of agriculture in New Zealand is a record of great achievement in overcoming many difficulties, for our country, though endowed with a climate very suitable for agriculture, has little naturally fertile soil and much very hilly country. Agriculture in New Zealand was started by the Polynesians, the Maoris and their predecessors, the moa-hunters. After the first white men landed on the shores of New Zealand in 1769 Captain Cook reported the existence of large coastal cropping areas of up to 200 acres in kumara, taro and yam. Considering that the Maoris used only wooden and stone tools this is remark able. Helped by the early missionaries the Maoris were quick to make use of the potato introduced to them first by Captain Cook and later by the whalers. Early in the 19th century the potato had become a major item in their diet and was an article of trade with visiting ships. Maori agriculture continued to develop and reached a high level in the Waikato, Bay of Plenty and Rotorua districts Where, just prior to the Maori Wars (1860 several thousands of acres of native land were in potatoes, wheat, maize and kumaras. European agriculture in New Zealand was started in 1814 by the Rev. Samuel Marsden at his, the first, mission station in New Zealand at the Bay of Islands. Apart from the mission stations, there was no organised agriculture until after the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840. Organised settlement of Otago took place in 1848 and of Canterbury in 1850. In these provinces the open native tussock grasslands invited grazing and soon pastoral farming on a large scale developed to the Australian pattern. Near the centres of population throughout New Zealand mixed farming developed to supply the needs of the townsfolk. There were, in those days, no special kinds of farming like dairy ing and fruit-growing. Most settlers raised a great variety of crops and livestock, and their wives not only cooked and sewed, but also spun, knitted and churned. Just before the Maori Wars, Auckland, then the largest centre of population, produced more wheat than Canterbury.

Download or read book The Fixed and the Fickle written by Hans Mol and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume describes the effect of religion on the identity of the native Maoris and Pakehas (white settlers in New Zealand. The description is woven around the idea that the fixed (identity) is constantly "unglued" by the fickle (change). The Maori charismatic movements are seen as attempts to absorb the devastating effects of Pakeha incursion into a viable system of meaning. Yet the white white settlers, too, had to tame the discontinuities with the past and the ravages of cultural change. Religion is seen to be at the forefront of the struggle to defend and reinforce the boundaries around the variety of identities. In presenting his thesis, the author has brought together a wide range of information—other anthropological and sociological studies, historical accounts, official statements, and religious census data. The volume will be of interest to students of sociology, anthropology, and religion.

Download or read book The Expansion of Sustainability Through New Economic Space written by Simon Lambert and published by VDM Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The return of Maori land to a productive role in the so-called Knowledge Economy entails the innovation and diffusion of technologies relevant to the sustainable development of this land. Sustainable development requires substantive changes to current land and resource use to mitigate environmental degradation and contribute to ecological and sociological resilience. This book takes concerns for cultural resilience that have arisen as political-economic strategies converge within the global New Economic Space and will show how the self-determined participation of Maori growers in this space can paradoxically lead to an expansion of the Traditional Economic Space of Maori. This expansion is directed by Maori cultural logics, located in Maori territories but seeking innovations from an amorphous 'core'. The interface between a global economy and the localities of a Maori cultural economy is defined by the interrogation of innovations, through the innovators. A malleable collectivity of actants passes through this porous interrogation border, enrolled by Maori as components of their resilience strategies and therefore the endurance of Maori culture.

Download or read book Resources Nations and Indigenous Peoples written by Richard Howitt and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the (this?)region, the rights and concerns of indigenous peoples are making news. Tensions between indigenous peoples and nation states take many forms, but none is so definitive as the question of resource sovereignty. Written by geographers, anthropologists, lawyers, economists and field practitioners, this book argues that these tensions are constructing a new geopolitics of identity and sovereignty within the nation states of Australasia, Melanesia and Southeast Asia. Building on the success of an earlier volume, Mining and Indigenous Peoples in Australasia, this volume goes beyond documenting the impacts of resource-based development to examine five key themes in contemporary disputes: the complex relationships between resources, identity and sovereignty; culture and gender issues in resource projects;marginalisation of and negotiations with indigenous interests; compensation and the monitoring of agreements; and the roles of governments in mediating relations between resource industry and indigenous groups. Detailed case studies illustrate and attest to the diverse concerns and the complexities of contemporary debates and disputes. Resources, Nations and Indigenous Peoples: Case Studies from Australasia, Melanesia and Southeast Asia provides a compelling analysis and will be invaluable for students, public servants, industry and community organisations in many spheres.
