Description
Summary:Investigates the shifting discourse on the use of ‘rāhui’ (prohibition, restriction) and conservation-related words in 19th century New Zealand, using material from the early Māori newspapers (niupepa). Looks at how Māori voices changed with increasing land alienation, the retreat of traditional whakapapa relationships, and the rise of a European conservation ethic. Reveals numerous uses of ‘rāhui’ but very few uses of ‘kaitiakitanga’ (guardianship, stewardship) or conservation in discussion of resources.
