student studying marketing and economics. I chose this paper as an elective and was interested in developing my knowledge of Maori culture. I will now discuss the impact of Maori values and concepts as they relate to the study of a specific discipline, marketing. From the well-known All black haka to professional golfer Michael Campbell’s clothing label, Cambo, the culture of Maori and their ‘brand’ are helping New Zealand position itself in an ever-increasing global market.

ʻReflections and Recollections of a White Nativeʼ, a term that is reasonably dis-comforting these days, the cover features a quotation in which King claims that “Pakeha New Zealanders who are committed to this land and its people are no less indigenous than Maori”, and his aim is to demonstrate how this might be the case (King, 2004, p. 1).

struggle between a male character who fully embodies the Kurtz persona with tattoos, close friendships with the Maori, and uninhibited sexual overtures, and one who clings to English ways. Harvey Keitel portrays this character, named Baines, while Sam Neill plays his foil. The character of Stewart embodies the Prospero persona by maintaining an ever-present "businesslike" relationship with the Maori and punishing those who transgress his code of conduct. The punishment of Flora, Ada’s daughter for misbehaving

and the consequences for Maori. Finally the potential role that Te Tiriti plays in the health recovery for Maori concludes this dialogue. Prior to European in Aotearoa, Māori lived successfully. Comprehensive histories, legends and ancestral links were recited daily in this oral culture (Selby & Laurie, 2005).

Whale Rider is an expressive, cultural drama film by the award winning director Nikola Jean "Niki" Caro, that explores the ideas of love, rejection, tradition and gender roles. It's a story about a young Maori girl, Paikea Apirana that's born into the chief line along with a twin brother.

Trick or Treaty? is a 2014 Canadian documentary film by Alanis Obomsawin that details into the difficult history of Treaty Number 9, the infamous 1905 agreement in which First Nations communities lost sovereignty over their traditional lands. The title Trick or Treaty? asks the question of whether the Cree and Ojibway people were lied to in order to obtain the necessary signatures to steal their land. Obomsawin demonstrates this by placing significant focus on the way the treaty was interpreted

their right and just move on. In the novel The Whale Rider by Witi Ihimaera, the main protagonist Kahu gets shut down by her great-grandfather Koro Apirana multiple times because she is a girl and she is the next heir to be chief. But that breaks Maori tradition and Koro Apirana does not approve of that. The theme of The Whale Rider by Witi Ihimaera is how the power of others affects our self-esteem.
