Notes

1 Haka refers to a Māori ceremonial war dance.

2 Taonga translates roughly into ‘treasures’.

3 Te Urewera refers to a mountainous region of the central eastern North Island of New Zealand where Ngāi Tūhoe live. Because of its relative remoteness, Tūhoe came into contact with Europeans later than other tribes. They resisted British colonisation and suffered significant hardship due to land confiscation and religious repression (McGarvey, Citation2015).

4 The Kīngitanga movement was a pan-tribal initiative that sought to unify Māori under a single sovereign. The movement originated in and around the Waikato region in the 1850s as a response to pressure from British settlers, political marginalisation, and a deepening divide between Māori willing to sell their land and those who were not. The King movement persists into the present with the seventh Māori King as its current head (Papa & Meredith, Citation2012).

5 Marae is a Maori meeting house.

6 Māoridom is often used to refer to the Māori world

7 ANZAC (an acronym for the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) Day is observed on April 25th every year to commemorate the disastrous loss of life that Australians and New Zealanders experienced at Gallipoli in the First World War. Since the 1990s New Zealanders, have increasingly viewed ANZAC Day as a symbol of national identity (Abel, Citation2013, 201).
