Rosie's+Socilolgy+Group

I wasn't there when it was discussed in class what everyone was studying. Looking at the internal we have to create three questions. Instead of everyone trying to reserach something different I have come up with three questions and people can just put answers under each questions yea? Make sure you put your name above what informatin you have colleted. If you have made three questions in class already just flag my questions and we can do them instead. Tip: if your struggling to add something to the wiki just compare the information other people have gathered with today. e.g. Women's rights in the 1960's and women's rights today. - Rosie

Ah i found this about the culture's for Maori and Pakeha were combinded. **Māori borrowing from Pākehā culture** Since the early stages of colonisation, Māori have been receptive adopters of aspects of Pākehā culture. From the 1830s many Māori converted to Christianity and in the process learned to read and write, to the extent that it has been claimed that in mid nineteenth century New Zealand, Māori were more likely to be literate than Pākehā. A number of religions, such as Pai Marire and Ringatu, arose in the nineteenth century, blending Māori tradition and Christianity. Similarly Māori traditional chants were put to Victorian music, or written to European tunes, European designs and metal tools adopted by carvers, altering their style and British fabrics and cloth, such as blanketing adopted to form new dress. The horse was adopted, particularly on the East coast. European tools and particularly weapons were frequently decorated with traditional motifs, for example wooden musket and rifle stocks acquired elaborate carving. From the 1820s Maori began building vessels in the European boat building tradition. Many of these activities were conducted in collaboration with Pakeha traders and settlers. //**Very relevent to Waiora i thought.**// From the 1860s, the adoption of Pākehā culture became less of a free choice as Pākehā began to outnumber Māori. A Pākehā-dominated parliament had free rein to pass legislation affecting Māori, such as the Act (1867) which required English to be the dominant medium of instruction for Māori children. So, while majority of Māori encouraged their children to learn the English language and Pākehā ways of life in order to function economically and socially, Māori were pushed as well as pulled into changing culture. From the early twentieth century and especially from the 1970s, Māori began to protest against this Eurocentrism and demanded equal recognition for their own culture.

//Also how the New Zealand Rugby teams use a haka which is a maori tradition// The first New Zealand rugby team to tour overseas, playing eight matches in New South Wales, Australia, in 1884, performed "a Maori war cry" or haka before each of its matches.

Many Māori have become successful practitioners of European-derived art forms; indeed many of New Zealand's biggest arts success stories are Māori or part Māori. These include opera singers Inia Te Wiata and Kiri Te Kanawa, novelists Keri Hulme (winner of the Booker Prize) and Alan Duff, poet Hone Tuwhare and painter Ralph Hotere, actors wiki/Temuera Morrison and Cliff Curtis and director Lee Tamahori. Māori culture has also provided inspiration to Pakeha artists
