Abandoning the Titanic? Some Implications of Maori Perceptions of Educational and Social Influences on the Maintenance and Use of the Maori Language Benton, Nina B.E.

Abstract, Notes, References, Appendix
Will it hurt?: Teaching in Maori, or Pitjantjatjara Benton, Richard "In 1990 it may be relatively easy to set up state-funded schools in New Zealand which do not teach in English. Although many countries have parallel school systems teaching in different languages, somehow, in Australia and New Zealand the idea seems strange. What are the facts about going to school in a language which is not the major language? Does it hurt?"

Nganeko Minhinnick, guardian of the Manuaku: fighting for our waterways Bercusson, Linda "New Zealand's clean-green image doesn't quite measure up when it comes to the state of our waterways. and one of the worst cases of deliberate pollution is Auckland's Manukau Harbour. But now something is being done about it". "Manukau tribes say drastic measures are needed to save the harbour before it is too late. As well as working for change within the system, they are also moving to regain their traditional role as kaitiaki, or guardians of the harbour".

Learning to live with the Waitangi Tribunal: the facts without fear Booth, at "People either talk about justice or ripoffs. There seems to be no middle way over the Waitangi Tribunal. Yet, if you are going to understand living in New Zealand into the 21st century it's something you've got to come to terms with. You've got to understand what impact its work will have on the pattern of race relations, social understanding, your right of access to sea and hill and river, and on the national economy in the next two decades. Ths short answer is that it will have plenty - whether you like it or not."
