Content Description: 

Lyn talks about the Maori family and the value differences which exist between Maori and Pakeha cultural styles. She draws on her own up-bringing to bring about a greater understanding of the Maori family and the difficulties faced not only by Maori people dealing with Pakeha values and institutions but also for those Pakeha who must work with Maori families but who have no concept of Maori view of the world.

Content Description: 

"What (and who) keeps Maori students back? Why do they consistently 'choose' second and third best? In this race (there is, of course, a larger question, should there be a race? for positions in a stratified and unequal society, do all New Zealand students compete under the same conditions, or are some carrying burdens which will slow them down, leaving only the 'rubbish jobs' or a 'no vacancy' sign at the end of the run? Why do so many Maori students drop out of the race? Are they just 'dumb', 'unmotivated', or have they made a realistic judgement about their chances and have preferred to go another way rather than suffer the humiliation of arriving last past the post?"

Content Description: 

"We have officially moved from an education policy of assimilation through the integration policies espoused in the Hunn Report to a position of putting a positive value on cultural diversity. Yet there are persistent Maori voices telling us nothing has changed. They say we have been practicing policies of deception that disguise the underlying reality of Pakeha domination and allow it to continue. The connection between society and schooling needs analysis but there is insufficient space here. This article concentrates on how the power imbalance is evidence in the secondary education system and discusses changes to that system."

Content Description: 

"In the year of the much-hyped Te Maori exhibition, kohanga reo and taha Maori, many pakeha begine to wonder about their own cultural roots. Is there any such thing as Pakeha culture, or is what passes for it simply a bad imitation of European culture and bastardisation of California dreaming? Is it still ok to be whiteman?"

Content Description: 

"It is becoming a mark of political soundness among left-wing Pakeha to deny any sense of guilt about our past or present roles in the colonisation of Aotearoa. The current backlash against Maoridoms struggle for a genuine partnership in accordance with the |Treaty of Waitangi is thus not confined to the extreme right or event the liberal middle. It reaches deep into the radical left, which after making some belated concessions to Maori nationalism after the struggles against the 1981 Springbok Tour, has now firmly settled back into its old smugness."

This article looks at how children learn about their own racial identity and how and what they learn about others. The article notes, inaccurate, stereotypic and caricatured images and information about racial/cultural groups are particularly harmful, at the stage of development when children are still forming clear concepts of themselves and others.
