Gifts of tribal land to the Church: what happens when the tribe wants the land back? Williams, David V. In the first two decades of British rule there were a large number of land transactions in many parts of the country whereby Maori gifted pieces of land to Church authorities so that their children could receive an education from missionary ministers or teachers. This paper discusses how the church obtained title and the Crowns part in the transfer of land, and looks at what happened if no school was built, could Maori claim return of these lands, and tribal nature of Maori landholding.

Rinma Rata and the powers that be: a story of a clash of cultures Young, Christine "In April Rina Rata applied for a job with the Auckland Hospital Board. She didn't get it. The job went to a Pakeha male. her subsequent appeal and his withdrawal have caused a furore which has thrown into sharp relief many of the racial stresses in our society. The Auckland Hospital board has been forced to take another look at the way people are selected for jobs - and at some of it's members' attitudes to different cultural values. It has not been a comfortable experience for anyone. The case of Rina Rata raises other questions too. Of the role of the Public Services Association and its pushing for affirmative action, of Maori radicals and of liberal clergymen."
