Indigenous histories, gender, and the colonial archive
Māori and Field Hockey from 1900
Field hockey, introduced to New Zealand in the late nineteeth century, quickly became popular among North Island Māori communities, especially with women. While Māori did not seek to separate themselves from mainstream society, they nevertheless sought to create parallel sporting (and other cultural) institutions through which their culture, tribal connections, and ethnic identity might remain intact and flourish, a phenomenon that exists to this…
This is an appeal to you”
In December 1892, thirteen residents of the Taieri Native Reserve in Otago signed and sent a letter, comprised of just a few lines, to the Native Minister, Alfred Jerome Cadman. Sadly, the original letter in te reo Māori has been lost, with only the English translation now held at Wellington’s Archives New Zealand office

In 2018, we curated the Te Takarangi Book List: a collection of 150 Māori-authored non-fiction books. The list profiles some of the important Māori leaders, thinkers and authors of our time. From the first book published about the Māori language in 1815 to the works of current Māori scholars, researchers and writers making their mark and claiming a voice in the research environment of Aotearoa New Zealand, this is a sample list to celebrate.

A ‘class of no political weight’? Interracial Marriage, Mixed Race Children and Land Rights in Southern New Zealand, 1840s-1880s
Interracial marriage was a defining feature of interaction between local Ngāi Tahu and newcomers in southern New Zealand from the early nineteenth century. Scholarship has explored the importance of such relationships to development of New Zealand’s early resource-based economies and to colonial assimilation policies. However, the experiences of cross-cultural households and families in colonial New Zealand are less well documented.Using a body o…
Modernizing” Māori Marriage in New Zealand
In 1952, Māori forms of customary marriage were made legally invalid. This article investigates the application of a state marriage registration system to Māori in the early decades of the twentieth century that was designed to encourage Māori to conform to European marital models. It focuses, in particular, on how Christianity and English law were deployed as modernising forces by a new generation of Māori intellectuals who emerged in the 1890s …
Illicit Love
Bold in approach and beautifully crafted, Illicit Love is a multi-layered and nuanced account of the intersection between interracial relationships, marriage law and sovereignty centered on the lan
Intimate Relations
Recent scholarship has situated shore whaling as a key industry connecting southern New Zealand to the global economy and the imperial world during the mid-19th century. An economically-driven view of this period, however, tends to obscure the enduring importance of Māori forms of kinship in the establishment and success of this resource-based industry. In this article, we argue for the significance of Māori concepts such as whanaungatanga (conne…

Mothers' Darlings of the South Pacific
Like a human tsunami, World War II brought two million American servicemen to the South Pacific where they left a human legacy of some thousands of children. Mothers’ Darlings traces the intimate relationships that existed in the wartime South Pacific between U.S. servicemen and Indigenous women, and considers the fate of the resulting children. The American military command carefully managed intimate relationships in the Pacific Theater, applyin…

The Politics of ‘Periodical Counting’
The historic relationship between Ngāi Tahu, the predominant Māori tribe of the South Island of New Zealand, and the census-taking process over the nineteenth and twentieth centuries was one fraught with material, spatial and political implications for the tribe. 1 Census taking provided evidence for the erasure of Ngāi Tahu land ownership and territorial rights, while enumerators also reconstructed the tribal population as ‘white’. ‘Periodical c…
Embodying the Colonial Encounter
Focusing on the heroine of an 1863 New Zealand sea rescue, this article is concerned with gender, race and the colonial encounter. The rescue became an example of harmonious race relations, advocating Maori service as part of settler society governance. The article analyses Huria Matenga's place in the rescue as white settlers endorsed, rewarded and constructed her in relation to the imperial reference point of British heroine Grace Darling. It i…

"Women "Living across the Line
During the late nineteenth century reserve lines and boundaries were sharply drawn in Canada and New Zealand, and, as a consequence, the choice to marry "out" had very real material implications for aboriginal women. This article examines the "reserve experience" of indigenous women in Canada and New Zealand, focusing on the native reserve as a significant site of interracial contact. Native reserves were designed to be distinct settlements, but …
In/Visible Sight
This article examines the multiple ways in which persons of mixed descent were invisible in most New Zealand cities during the first half of the 20th century. It is argued that living as mixed descent was a highly visible experience during the 19th century, but this increasingly gave way to invisibility during an era of state-sponsored assimilation. Invisibility was a strategy for survival and success in the mainstream society, but was often acco…
Ngāi Tahu Historiography
This article outlines the trajectory of historical writing about Ngāi Tahu, the predominant Māori tribe of New Zealand's South Island. It is argued that the predominant concern of the literature has revolved around colonialism and colonisation, and within this, colonial practices of land alienation has been the preoccupation. These historic injustices have been acknowledged by the New Zealand government in a full and final settlement with Ngāi Ta…
To 'Better the Breed of Men
Over the past decade the relationship between feminism and eugenics has become an increasingly important site of research. This relationship, however, remains to be examined in New Zealand. This article interrogates the ways in which female reformers, colonial feminists and female health and welfare workers engaged in eugenic debates in New Zealand during the first three decades of the twentieth century. It situates the 1924 Inquiry into Mental D…
