Tino rangatiratanga me te kāwanatanga | Government and organisation
  • Year 5-6: Governments have selectively supported or excluded people through processes associated with voting rights, access to education, health, and welfare provision, reflecting prevailing public attitudes of the time. Often equitable treatment has been sought by people, including Māori, Chinese, women, children, and disabled people.
  • How, over time, have various New Zealand governments restricted voting rights? How have people advocated for their rights? How did the Government respond to the hardships of the Great Depression?
Whakapapa me te whanaungatanga | Culture and identity
  • Year 7-8: Mid-twentieth-century Māori migration to  New Zealand cities occurred at an unprecedented pace and scale, disrupting the whakapapa of te reo and tikanga and depopulating papa kāinga. New approaches to being Māori and retaining iwi values and practices were created and debated. Movements to reassert Māori language, culture, and identity arose throughout the country.
  • What were the challenges Māori faced after the Second World War? What do hapū and iwi say about their relocation to the cities and the reasons for it? What has this meant for their identity as Māori?
Tino rangatiratanga me te kāwanatanga | Government and organisation
  • Year 7-8: Mana was central to all political and economic relationships in traditional Māori society and has continued to shape internal and external interactions.
  • How was mana expressed in relationships between iwi and between iwi and Pākehā?
  • How did iwi co-opt new ideas and technologies in the pursuit of mana, and what were some of the impacts of that?
  • How did diseases brought by Europeans impact mana?
  • How is mana evident in Māori protest actions?
