Tino rangatiratanga The loss of the tikanga of whänau as a foundational societal principle occurred despite the assurances offered to Mäori by Te Tiriti o Waitangi (“Te Tiriti”). Describe how it actually functions. Can be a motivational element in business. Tino rangatiratanga can mean self-determination, sovereignty, independence, autonomy. de Graaf, P. (2020a). The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest. Supports the establishment of an independent Māori Health Authority which also allows capacity and space for Iwi-specific response, as seen as effective during Covid-19 (Tribunal, 2019). The interconnected and reciprocal relationships between tino rangatiratanga and well-being can be seen during the Covid-19 response, where the cultural values and practices, as well as the capacity of Māori people, contribute to the enacting of Tino Rangatiratanga, in turn, protected and promoted the well-being for all New Zealanders.

Measuring Māori well-being: a commentary. Mauriora (cultural identity), Waiora (connection with the physical environment), Toiora (healthy lifestyles), Ngā Manukura (leadership), Te Mana Whakahaere (autonomy at a community level) and Te Oranga (participation in society) are also important aspects of Māori well-being - this outlines in the Te Pae Māhutonga public health framework (Durie, 1999). In a Māori worldview, each whānau member, (from young children to elders), is valued and plays an integral part in contributing to the well-being of the overall whānau (New Zealand Ministry of Health, 2002). Karakia and even more so tangihanga processes are not common online and indeed in many ways center on face to face interaction. And equally, well-being is an important contributor to tino rangatiratanga. In this way, tikanga provides guidance on how people should act, as well as why people should act. Aust. doi:10.1177/0275074020941721. In turn, these kaitiaki responsibilities are also driven through manaakitanga (caring, nurture) and that care for communities is essential and could be practically protected through monitoring travel in and out of communities. These actions show how tino rangatiratanga is enacted as independent Māori decision-making. Māori critic and conscience in a colonising context. Again, manaakitanga can be used to understand the actions taken by Māori during the Covid-19 pandemic to protect and provide for communities. Heaton, S.

Several governance groups have already proposed partnership with the government on Covid-19 issues such as the Māori Reference Group, Māori Monitoring Group, Iwi Chairs Forum, and Te Tumu Whakarae. COVID-19—current cases. he says that, “Rangatiratanga is said to be the quality of being a chief. Finally, we make some recommendations which we hope will provide a basis for how governments and Indigenous peoples alike can strengthen responses to Covid-19 while also supporting well-being and Indigenous self-determination. Therefore, kaumātua, and those with in-depth knowledge of tikanga and mātauranga Māori, came together to adapt tikanga and create online tangihanga guidelines and also host online karakia. Many hapū, iwi, Māori organisations and community groups organised and delivered care packages to members of the community. 3. After considerable debate in the public arena, the group adopted diverse tactics to raise awareness of the issues, including lobbying Transit NZ and Parliament,[15][16] submissions to the Human Rights Commission and holding an annual 'Fly the Flag' competition,[17] to more direct protest actions including bungee jumping off the Harbour Bridge, traffic jamming the Harbour Bridge, and flying the largest Tino Rangatiratanga flag ever made over the Harbour Bridge.

Relationships are central to tino rangatiratanga, in that the basis for both affirming and advocating for rangatiratanga is aimed at collective well-being as opposed to individual well-being. Schultz, R. (2020). World Health Organization (1995). On 14 December 2009, Prime Minister John Key and Māori Affairs Minister Pita Sharples announced that the Māori Tino Rangatiratanga flag was chosen to fly from the Auckland Harbour Bridge and other official buildings (such as Premier House) on Waitangi Day. Placing well-being: a Maori case study of cultural and environmental specificity. Furthermore, the examples have shown how well-being for Māori has been able to thrive in both the numbers of people who contracted Covid-19, as well as well-being that has been enabled through the adaptation of our tikanga to promote social well-being and community learning. But this success cannot be viewed independently from the Māori Covid-19 response which was even harder and faster than the central government response. Whanaungatanga requires purposeful efforts to seek out and create lasting relationships as a mechanism to support individuals and establish collective ties. Transit New Zealand, the government agency that was responsible for the bridge, declined on the basis that the flag did not represent a country recognised by the United Nations. Sadly, there have been 25 deaths related to Covid-19, with 71 active cases remaining (New Zealand Ministry of Health, 2020). This is deliberate “We keep our ancestors close, their memories live on with us, and their lives become our lessons” (Ngata, 2020, p.1). Educ. Theor. [1] It appears in the Māori version of the Treaty of Waitangi, signed by the British Crown and Māori chiefs (rangatira) in 1840. The Covid-19 pandemic has shown that is Māori exercising tino rangatiratanga has in fact led to greater well-being for Māori and non-Māori alike. CC and ATO both made an equal contribution to preparing and writing this manuscript. Editors M. Reilly, S. These actions complimented decisions made by the New Zealand government, who had made nationwide rules to restrict movement, however as the history of pandemic devastation in Māori communities is still being felt, this extra measure taken by Māori communities sought to provide an extra layer of protection.
New York, NY: New York Times. Māori experience of disease coupled with our continued expressions of tino rangatiratanga, have shown that we are prepared as well as any colonial government, if not more so, to promote the well-being of our communities. Jones, C. (2016). By examining the Covid-19 response in New Zealand, as well as that of other Indigenous peoples around the world, it is clear that Indigenous-led solutions can positively impact the Covid-19 response for all. With these case study examples in mind, and in line with a Kaupapa Māori research methodology which suggests that research should lead to transformational change we suggest a number of recommendations for how Aotearoa can plan for a future that enhances both tino rangatiratanga and well-being (Smith, 2013). Am. New grassroots organisations also emerged. This article explores those actions and the ways in which there is a cyclical and inter-dependent link between tino rangatiratanga and well-being. Throughout history, epidemics and introduced diseases have had a devastating impact on Māori communities. For example tino rangatiratanga was about taking responsibility for the aims: To provide a deconstruction of the current supervision situation for practitioners reflecting maori values and beliefs in social services Seems simple Available at: https://shorthand.radionz.co.nz/coronavirus-timeline/ (Accessed November 10, 2020). A lesser publicised example, which equally demonstrates Māori enacting tino rangatiratanga during the Covid-19 crisis, was the decision made by Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust advising all kōhanga reo (Māori language preschool’s) to remain closed during alert level 3, this despite the New Zealand Government lifting restrictions and recommended early childhood programmes could go back at full capacity. Te Pūtahitanga also distributed 1,371 grants for home heating, 1,104 data support, 600 devices to enable digital connectivity and 25,000 hygiene packages (McMeeking and Savage, 2020). Stories, waiata and proverbs, passed down from the ancestors, also carry meaning of rangatiratanga. Mikaere, A. Oral traditions and intergenerational storytelling practices are a fundamental part of Māori culture and communities and played an important role in the rapid Covid-19 response by Māori communities. These ideas relate directly to tino rangatiratanga in that Māori continue to actively promote Māori ways of being that are not only directed at reclaiming rights from the Crown. 2.3 The explanation links ahikā and ahimātaotao to issues for Māori in a modern Both individuals and groups can exercise mana, and for an iwi and hapū to be recognised as the authority over their lands and resources, it is considered that they have mana (Smith, 2013; Mead, 2016). In addition to these dimensions of hauora outlined by Durie, in Rangimārie Rose Pere's (1991) model of well-being - Te Wheke - Pere also identifies Mauri (life force in people and objects), Mana ake (the unique identity of individuals and family), Hā a koro ma, a kui ma (the breath of life from forbearers), and Whatumanawa (the open and healthy expression of emotion), as important contributors to whānau health. For Māori relationships between people are required in order for society to operate (Smith, 2013; Mead, 2016). Wellington, New Zealand: Huia Publishers. Hiraina Marsden, Jan Smith and Linda Munn designed the flag in 1990. Tino rangatiratanga is the exercise of paramount and spiritually sanctioned power and authority. Martyn 'Bomber' Bradbury: An example from social media of the total power the Ministry of Social Development has over the lives of beneficiaries emerged last week and reminded everyone of the punitive welfare culture we still "The Treaty of Waitangi and New Zealand Citizenship", http://www.treaty2u.govt.nz/the-treaty-up-close/treaty-of-waitangi/, "1. 1,200 submissions were received, with 80% of participants in favour of the Tino Rangatiratanga flag as they preferred the Māori flag. 4. In a similar way, Māori academic Maria Bargh (2013) has argued that Māori politics occurs through “micro-oriented” practices, in which Māori practice political authority in small and diverse ways, such as establishing local, iwi gardens to support food sovereignty. Despite the global accolades, little attention has been given to the swift and innovative Māori response to Covid-19.

Hauora: report on stage one of the health services and outcomes Kaupapa inquiry WAI 2575: Waitangi tribunal report. A flag based on tino rangatiratanga was designed in 1990 and has become accepted as a national flag for Māori groups across New Zealand.[6]. [4][5] The phrase features in current historical and political discourse on race relations in New Zealand and is widely used by Māori advocacy groups.

In this article, the authors argue that tino rangatiratanga enables positive well-being, and equally, the positive well-being of individuals and communities enables the exercise of tino rangatiratanga. In 2009 Cabinet noted that a preferred national Māori flag has been identified, and that it is intended to complement the New Zealand flag. Another challenge is the Maori underrepresentation in government positions limiting their ability to exercise tino rangatiratanga. 5. Hauora refers to the holistic Māori philosophy of health and well-being. Lachy Paterson, “Tino Rangatiratanga: a Constitutional Problem Child?” This is the text of a presentation given at Centre for Research on Colonial Culture event, Colonial Origins of New Zealand Government and Politics, Dunedin, 8 March 2013. violations and alienations against the peoples of Taranaki.

This paper will detail some of this rapid Māori response to Covid-19 in Aotearoa New Zealand and argue the response can be understood as key examples of Māori exercising tino rangatiratanga (self-determination), independent of the government’s measures and policies. Jackson, A.-M., Baxter, J., and Hakopa, H. (2018). Wellington New Zealand: Victoria University Press. The government has also eventually released a Māori Covid-19 response plan including the formation of a Māori Touchstone Group and almost $NZ50 million in assistance for Māori health providers (Johnsen, 2020), These are good beginnings, however control over Māori health needs to move more rapidly into Māori hands. This lockdown was extended by five days, and New Zealand moved to Alert level 3, Tuesday 28 April.
While the New Zealand Government had announced that Education providers and children could return to schools, Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust made an independent decision for children to remain at home. Whanau Manaaki Kindergarten Conference This is a response to the theme-“Tino Rangatiratanga-Ko Wai Au?” Fuimaono Karl Pulotu-Endemann J.P.,MNZM,NZRPN,NZRGON Tino Rangatiratanga-Ko Wai Au? Available at: https://nzhistory.govt.nz/culture/1918-influenza-pandemic/begins (Accessed November 12, 2020). Tino Rangatiratanga is described as 'The Principle of Self-determination' and relates to sovereignty, autonomy, control, self-determination and independence. Tino rangatiratanga refers to Māori control over Māori lives, and the centrality of mātauranga Māori (Māori knowledge). Articles, Instituto de Saúde Ambiental, Faculdade de Medicina, Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal. Nat. 6:613340. doi: 10.3389/fsoc.2021.613340. For Māori therefore, issues and acts of self-determination refer to the collective well-being of a group, for Māori these social ties include iwi (tribes), hapū (sub-tribes) and whānau (families), all of which form the main sites through which Māori tino rangatiratanga is claimed and exercised. In this model, each of these four dimensions of hauora influences and supports the others and are necessary for strength, symmetry and balance. The large numbers of packages provided from across agencies is significant as it demonstrated ways in which individual iwi, hapū and Māori organisations understood the key supports that were needed. (Accessed November 19, 2020). Tino rangatiratanga The second article of the treaty confirms that although ‘kāwanatanga’ of their country will be transferred to the British Crown, Māori retain ‘te tino Rangatiratanga’ of their people, land and all other possessions. Example: Music – sound arts Example: Visual arts Front. As the number of cases started to increase the strategy of the New Zealand government was to go hard, and go early (Jamieson, 2020). While we do not go into significant detail in this article about the process in which these practices were adapted, the important point here is that a significant adaptation to our cultural practices took place. The term "tino rangatiratanga" is contained in article two of the Maori version of the Treaty of Waitangi, the version supported by the Greens. (2020). Corntassel, J. It has become one of the most contentious phrases in retrospective analyses of the Treaty amid debate surrounding the obligations that were agreed to by each signatory. In other words, tikanga confirm the responsibilities that Māori have to one another as a basis for action. Furthermore, using a tikanga lens to assess how tino rangatiratanga and well-being intertwine demonstrates how one of the main strengths of tikanga is the ability to rapidly adapt even in the most unprecedented circumstances. [19], Sharples said the Māori flag was a simple way to recognise the status of Māori as tangata whenua (people of the land). Monarchy New Zealand said the move would be "potentially divisive" and AUT University Doctor Paul Moon was critical of the move. The pandemic begins abroad. Tino rangatiratanga is a Māori language term that is often translated as "absolute sovereignty". Stories, waiata and proverbs, passed down from the ancestors, also carry meaning of rangatiratanga. The emphasis on tino rangatiratanga draws from an inconsistency arising between Article 1 and Article 2 of the Treaty of Waitangi: Based on the Māori text alone, in Article 1, the signatories appear to be granting kawanatanga (governorship), and in Article 2, the signatories are promised that their tino rangatiratanga (absolutely sovereignty or highest chieftainship) would remain undisturbed. As the Covid-19 threat became ever more present in Aotearoa, a number of iwi took it upon themselves to protect local communities by establishing monitored entry and exits from their communities. Source. Hau translating to breath and ora meaning to be well, and together they refer to the breath of life. There are formal ways for DHBs to incorporate this – as set out in the New Zealand Public Health and Disability Act 2000, which requires them to improve health outcomes for Māori. New Zealand Ministry of Health (2002). However, whatever the structure that Māori leadership takes, it must be resourced sufficiently and given full control over how resources are used. Additionally, 7,898 whānau received Manaaki Support packages, which included food, data support, and other material means of support via Whānau Ora Navigators (New Zealand Ministry of Health, 2020). In this case study, Māori made their own decisions based on a process of observation and understanding their community, as well as the current circumstances.

While there is no official reporting of the exact number and type of resources distributed by iwi, hapū and Māori organisations, it was on the largest scale seen in recent history. A number of Māori communities throughout Aotearoa, also took swift and rapid action to the pandemic, which in many ways built on and exceeded actions taken by the New Zealand government. Essentially, if mana is to be maintained, then there need to be efforts in place which demonstrate reciprocal care between people and groups (Smith, 2013; Mead, 2016). Decolonisation: Indig. doi:10.1007/s10460-020-10089-7. However, Māori recognised the importance of both of these cultural processes for spirituality and emotional health during Covid-19 (as well as the long-term impact of these practises for well-being).

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern stated, “We have a window of opportunity to stay home, break the chain of transmission, and save lives,” (Strongman, 2020, p. 20, p. 20). We echo the calls from Durie (2020) that have been made clear during this period of time that; “I would like to see an Aotearoa moving forward, which gives more cognisance to the systems and structures that we have as Māori. During the pandemic, Māori knew that Māori specific health messaging was essential to ensure effective and relevant communication of important health information to Māori communities. For example, the iwi Ngā Puhi and Waikato Tainui distributed 8,000 and 5,000 food packages respectively (de Graaf, 2020a) and Te Pūtahitanga - the Whānau Ora commissioning agency for Te Waipounamu (South Island of New Zealand) distributed 1,734 food packages. For example, outside of targeted actions to protect local communities, the Covid-19 alert level restrictions and the resulting limited social interactions led to various online initiatives. Protecting relationships and utilising those iwi relationships to develop a planned and coordinated response was central to iwi checkpoints. This is not a finite list of tikanga by any means, nor a full explanation of the tikanga that have underpinned Māori responses to Covid-19. Whānau Ora also provided over 2,500 grants directly to whānau to support them, averaging over $400 per whānau. Cave, D. (2020). 15For example, the Urewera District Native Reserve Act 1896 that provided for the “ownership and local government of the native lands in the Te Urewera district” and allowed tino raNgātiratanga for the Tuhoe people. However, understanding Māori responses and indeed the various ways that tino rangatiratanga can be enacted through a Māori values system could provide a basis through which Māori leadership in hauora and well-being can be understood. Therefore, a grassroots organisation started an online communication strategy and hashtag #Protectourwhakapapa (see Figure 2 for an example) to ensure that there was health communication that was effectively conveyed and relevant to Māori families and communities (McMeeking and Savage, 2020). From the first European contact to 1840, Māori lost an estimated 30% of our entire population, mostly to epidemics (Lange, 2011). Whānau Ora commissioning agencies were recognised as key to increasing outreach to Māori communities and ensuring equitable and holistic care.
