The Maori struggle against white racism's destruction of our resources | Williams, Betty | "White racism has many aspects: some of these we have known about for a long time, but others affect us in ways we don not expect, and we have to dig back into our past and experience to deal with them. Since we live in a society which continues to be dominated by racism, we cant go very far without coming up against it in one way or another. Betty discusses some aspects of racism today, particularly those which touch on our relationship with natrural resources." | ||

Te Tiriti O Waitangi | Williams, David | This paper explores the Maori and English version of the Treaty and how the concept and words were understood within the context of the time. Reference is drawn to biblical passages and prayer and the interpretation put to Maori by Anglican missionaries. Discussion is raised on the appropriateness or not of celebrating the Treaty. The article also begs the question - Is the Treaty a Christian document and in what way do Christians have an obligation to engage with Treaty issues? |
Te Tiriti O Waitangi, The Treaty of Waitangi, And do what?, Some other questions suggest themselves, Appendix One - Missionary Maori, Appendix two - some bible study. |
