WELCOME TO NEW ZEALAND BUSINESS CULTURES
Maori culture
Understanding the New Zealand andNew Zealanders means understanding the influence of Maori people and culture.
About the Maori people: The Maori people are native people of the New Zealand, and they have their own different The Reo (language) its and official language too with English.
Around 600,000 people in New Zealand are Maori. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marae, 2010)
Maori hui
Maori hui is a formal gathering at Marae (court) especially for family marriage celebration and tangi (funerals) as we as business meetings. Also the local groups they share their whanau, hapu, iwi( born,family, people)The Pakeha (European) in particular and other nation’s people are most likely to go to the Hui to meet maori people and their cultures as well as their business systems. So it’s a different way
I identify as a New Zealand European; I prefer not to be called Pākehā as from personal experience this term is often used with negative connotations. My father is British and my mother is a first generation New Zealander so my family still has strong connections with Europe. I recognise that I am a part of the dominant ethnic group in New Zealand, and that this has sheltered me from the marginalisation experienced by those regarded as “other”, those who lie outside the bounds of the dominant group.
Around the world, there are many Indigenous groups having practiced their own traditional cultures. Through the history and following globalisation, traditional cultures have gradually disappeared. For example, in Japan, there are Ainu people had established their own culture, but they were assimilated to Japanese culture because of the annexation to Japan in the mid-1800s. Therefore, until recently, they have used the Japanese language and been educated and lived as Japanese. However, there are many traditional cultures which have still practiced over the time. Those existing cultures may be more significant than those cultures that have disappeared. Particularly, Indigenous performing arts tend to be survived over the time and actively protected to preserve. This essay will argue that Indigenous dance and chant have had significant roles to Indigenous people in many aspects. Firstly, this essay will examine hula’s several roles among the Hawaiian culture and society in the past and current. Secondly, it will focus on the relationship between haka and the Maori’s mentality and spirituality over the time. Finally, it will investigate Ainu chant, yukar, and its particular changes of importance to the Ainu.
During my interview with Margaret West of Bourke, NSW - I was able to gain first-hand knowledge and understanding of the issues (healthcare, safety and education) that were faced by some indigenous people during the 70’s and 80’s. After the interview concluded, I had enough information to compare the policies of her generation in contrast to the modern policies that deal with the same issues that were discussed in the interview.
For the Polynesian people, Maori is able to develop a more complex economy and culture system than Moriori, because of the availability of new environment allows them to farm. With farming they can have surplus, which allowed them to establish their community to develop denser population, support army to specialize in fighting. Further more, with a larger group, they develop strong leadership and political organization.
Sabina Lohr is the author of, “Day in the life of Tiwi Island’s Aboriginals.” It’s a short article written to describe the life of Tiwi’s aboriginals and how they have adapted to modern times. Sabine Lohr explains her experience with the people and how they managed to retain and practice their culture and how they have adjusted to modern times. Stephen Wallace is the author of, “In Ecuador’s Amazon, a small tribe lives under a dark, oily shadow.” This article is about a trip Stephen Wallace took to the Amazonian forest to visit the indigenous tribe, the Achuar Indians. Once there, he experienced what they do from day to day and learned a bit about their culture. His main reason for staying, was to learn about how the outside world affected this tribe and was it in a negative way.
Aboriginals or indigenous Australians are the native people of Australia. Aboriginals were nomadic people who came to Australia about 40,000 – 60,000 years ago from Southeast Asia. Religion is a great part of Aboriginal culture. The essay answers these questions: What do Aboriginals belief? What is a Kinship system? What is Dreaming and Dreamtime? What rituals does Aboriginals have?
Just when the human history of the Americas actually began is the subject of scholarly debate. The disciplinary tools of anthropology and archaeology continue to provide us with ever more refined and exact knowledge about early Native American communities, but the exact time frame remains murky, broadly defined, and subject to disagreement. This lack of precision results from the absence of writing among most of the Native American cultures, depriving us of the benefits of the account of any eyewitnesses to help guide the inquiry. Although the isolation of the western hemisphere allowed the humans there to develop distinctive cultures, some disadvantages became clear the moment Europeans appeared.
The consequences of colonization of 1942 has left many Americans to forget about the first people who inhabited the lands we now call the United States. Not only has it made us forget, but has dramatically affected Indian Country by the lost of culture, language, families, health, food sources, environment, and their overall traditional ways of living. As indigenous people are restoring what was taken away from them, Indian Country is also battling the disease of alcoholism, drug abuse, mental health, physical abuse, lost of Identity, high rates of suicide, poverty, unemployment and systemic oppression. Not to mention, their rights as Sovereign people.
The Moriori and the Maori people developed differently due to environmental differences. Although the Maori people were originally farmers, their cold crops could not grow in the cold climate of the Chathams. This caused them to resort to hunting/gathering. While this got them by, they weren’t able to bring in the mass amount of crops needed to support the other nonhunting craft specialists. Their prey did not require elaborate machines, so they just used traditional hunting methods. Also, they were a small island with no easily accessible neighboring islands, so they did not colonize and they learned to get along with each
In the Lakota language, “wicozani” is a word that means wealth by living a happy and well balanced life with a physical and mental well-being in conformity with creation. In order to fulfill a life of prosperity and euphoria, it is crucial to be a well-behaved, humane person. In the Native American culture, being an impish, untrustworthy being goes against everything they believe in. One of the most meaningful values to the Native Americans is honesty. One of the most condemned traits is disrespect.
Throughout this weeks reading, a strong understanding of Aboriginal connection and understanding of the land is highlighted. The reading is givin in first person from the perspective of Laklak Burarrwanga a Datiwuy Elder. In this reading Burarrwanga states that Aboriginal communities connect with Bawaka (meaning country) and everything living within the environment this includes other individuals, animals, plants and non-living objects for example wind and rain. Through this strong Aboriginal inextricable connection, the land provides Aboriginal communities with food, shelter, culture, beliefs and protection. Aboriginal’s have a obligation to the land and are expected to care for the land as in return the land will care for them. Each Aboriginal
This article examines the attitudes that New Zealanders have developed in response to immigration patterns and policy. Exploring how social hierarchy and ethnicity shape immigration tolerance through economic inequality concerns, perceptions of threat and protection of Maori rights. Douglas gives substantiated arguments relevant to discussions on the bicultural environment of New Zealand politics and argues for the importance of political recognition for Maori.
Biculturalism has a massive role in Aoteaora New Zealand’s society and has a massive impact in its history. Having a clear understanding of it is crucial in order to be more appreciative of how diverse New Zealand’s society has become, and it also helps us discern the negative aspects of diversity and multiculturalism. By examining and understanding biculturalism, it helps us discern the Treaty of Waitangi’s role and influences in the human services provision here in New Zealand.
The arrival of the Europeans caused many changes to the Māori society between 1642 and prior to the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi. The Europeans brought with them many things to trade; however, they contributed to fatal impact in New Zealand as they brought with them weapons which killed a lot of people and enslaved many more as more and more Māori competed for weapons. By 1830 the Māori had learnt a lot about the world. They had learnt the skills of trade with Europeans and the Māori had missionaries that taught them how to read, write and communicate with the outside world. New Zealand was no longer an unknown and isolated land
The Maori, “Children of Heaven”, are the indigenous people of New Zealand. It has been thought that Polynesian navigator Kupe, discovered New Zealand in 950 AD, and named the island Aotearoa, “Land of the long white cloud”.1 The Maori migrated to New Zealand from the tropical islands of
