Listening To Rivers
This article explores cross-cultural approaches to river stories and riverine well-being, centring Indigenous and transdisciplinary perspectives. Originating in Aotearoa New Zealand, the ‘Let the River Speak’ project interweaves ancestral Māori philosophies, arts, and Earth sciences to engage with rivers as living communities of water, land, plants, animals, and people. The research highlights the Waimatā River in Te Tairāwhiti as a site of cultu…
Star canoes, voyaging worlds
This paper explores the realities of voyaging as understood by early Polynesian navigators. The voyaging world of Kaveia, a contemporary navigator from Outlier Polynesia, as recorded by the anthropologist sailor Mimi George, is juxtaposed with those of Tupaia and Puhoro, eighteenth century navigators from the Society Islands, to examine Polynesian understandings of the sea, canoes and islands, and how long-distance voyaging was accomplished in an…
Hidden Hazards
I agree with Anja Schwarz and Lars Eckstein that ‘Tupaia’s Map is among the most important artefacts to have come from late 18th-century European–Indigenous encounters in the South Pacific region’
Spiralling histories
In March and April 1923 the Dominion Museum undertook an ethnological expedition to the East Coast region of New Zealand’s North Island, which was initiated and hosted by politician and scholar Apirana Ngata. Along with researchers Johannes Andersen, Elsdon Best and Peter Buck (Te Rangihīroa), the Museum’s acting director, James McDonald, took photographs and made films which recorded the cultural practices and traditions of the Ngāti Porou peopl…
Tears of Rangi
In this article, I consider a series of exchanges and entanglements, convergences, and collisions involving ancestral Maori, Western, and modernist onto-logics in relation to fresh water in New Zealand. Maori (and by implication, non-Maori) rights to fresh water have been a topic of passionate, often confrontational debate, instigated by the privatization of local power companies. In an innovative response to a claim to the Waitangi Tribunal by W…
Back to the future
When Captain James Cook's bark the Endeavour arrived in Tūranga‐nui in October 1769, the local people were mystified. Many thought that this spectre had appeared from te pō, the dark realm of ancestors. Cook's scientific expedition, sponsored by the Royal Society, was accompanied by Tupaia, a high priest from Ra'iatea. Tupaia joined the ship in Tahiti, where Cook and his companions had observed the transit of Venus. At Tūranga, misunderstandings …
Ontological quarrels
In settler societies such as New Zealand, the relationships between indigenous groups and settlers whose ancestors arrived from Europe involve clashes and exchanges between those who hold different sets of presuppositions about how the world works. In early New Zealand, Māori and Europeans often found themselves at ontological cross-purposes, and such contestations are still common. In this paper, I explore fundamental divergences and resonances …

Their Body is Different, Our Body is Different
This paper examines exchanges of navigational knowledge between Tahitian navigators and European explorers in the mid‐18th century. Although Tahitian and European sailors accomplished way‐finding at sea in ways based on very divergent assumptions about the ocean, the cosmos and persons, Tahitian navigators were able to board European ships, and pilot them safely through the islands. At first each side drew upon their own familiar practices to mak…
