Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Later waves of immigrants came to settle in New Zealand in the 19th and 20th centuries. Many came here from societies where life was often harsh, especially for the poor and landless. They wanted to better themselves and they wanted to own land. Settler groups came from places like China, India, Dalmatia, Bohemia, Holland, Scandinavia and the Pacific. But most were from Britain. The social organisation they brought was very different to the ways of the tangata whenua ' the people already here. To distinguish them from the tangata whenua these later immigrants are known as the Tauiwi ' the settler groups of the 19th and 20th centuries. The impact they have had on New Zealand has been far-reaching.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Treaty of Waitangi, signed in 1840 between the Maori chiefs of New Zealand and the British Crown is the subject today of much discussion, writing and debate. Europeans sometimes express surprise at this great interest. Maori are not surprised. The Treaty has never gone away for them. It has always been a living Treaty and a document about the rights of both the new arrivals (Tauiwi) and those already here (Tangata whenau). A symbol Maori used for the how they expected the Treaty of Waitangi to work was that of a finely balanced house. New Zealand was the house and the rafters on one side were the Moari and the rafters on the other side were the European. The ridge pole on which they whole structure leans was the English Crows and law of God. This is why Maori today say the Treaty has not been honoured - that culturally, socially, politically and economically, the European rafters have been strengthened over the last 150 years while the Maori ones have been weakened. And this is why people began to speak of a journey in 1990 which would involve the peaceful transferring of some of the strength from the rafters on one side of the house to the rafters on the other to make both sides more even and therefore the whole structure more stable and strong. This book looks at the main events and thinking that led up to and beyond the Treaty of Waitangi and the linking of the two rafters to the one ridge pole.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Sovereignty vs Rangatiratanga: Wars, Laws and Policies addresses the theme of Tino Rangatiratanga me Te Kawanatanga/Government and Organisation in the new curriculum for Aotearoa/NZ histories. People in canoes voyage south down the Pacific to begin a human history in a resource-rich land. These people form a relationship with the land and create a type of government, authority, laws, policies, organisation. Several centuries later, ships sail down and bring a new people to this land. They say they are the land's discoverers, decide to make it a colony in their empire and negotiate a treaty with the first people to do this. They introduce their type of government, their authority, their laws, their policies, their organisation. The power struggle that follows involves wars through words and laws, and wars through guns. The first people watch their land and authority get tattered and torn and begin to disappear. The new people think the first people are dying out but the first people rally and try to renegotiate the relationship with the new people to make things more balanced. And they are still doing this. Today, all New Zealanders have the right to stand on this land, to know that they belong to it, and the responsibility to say they understand its history. Links to the Curriculum Know: Tino rangatiratanga me te kawanatanga | Government and organisation National and local settings: Wars, laws and policies impact generally on all Aotearoa and on local areas specifically; what has relevance in one local area may have no or lesser relevance to another local area.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In an ideal world a book about human rights would simply deal with those rights that everybody on the planet enjoys because they are human. In the real world this book must show how societies have struggled and still struggle to achieve social justice. Humans are not perfect and therefore man's inhumanity to man has been evident throughout history; however, thanks to the efforts of individuals, groups, institutions and governments, mans humanity to man has also had a significant impact on people's lives and will continue to do so in the future. Understanding past and present societies and considering future societies through a focus on human rights will help students participate as critical, active, informed and responsible citizens. How do people define and seek human rights? How do groups make decisions that impact on people's lives? How do people participate individually and collectively in response to community challenges? Human rights is integral to all the conceptual strands of the Social Sciences curriculum, and through all levels. Identity, culture, organisation, place, environment, continuity, change, economic world ' none of these can be examined without reference to human rights. While Human Rights sits firmly in the Social Studies strands, the concept of human rights is integral to the New Zealand curriculum. It is intrinsic in all its values key competencies, principles and learning areas. This book is accessible to all ability levels, especially Years 9 and 10, and encourages further research on student-orientated topics. It covers various settings, perspectives, processes, and essential skills while bringing into focus essential learning with New Zealand society.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Gallipoli is a peninsula in the European part of Turkey. It is a long way from New Zealand. In 1915, during World War 1, thousands of Allied soldiers invaded Gallipoli. As part of the invading Anzacs, New Zealand soldiers landed in April and were evacuated in December. Their diaries described Gallipoli as hell on Earth, but they also mentioned some funny events, friends they made, and the bravery of men they fought alongside. Gallipoli was important to New Zealand's identity, culture and organisation. It helped Kiwis develop a sense of themselves as a nation. Today that nation holds fast to Anzac Day, the day of invasion. Gallipoli was an important place and environment. Turks there fought to defend their homeland. Anzacs fought Turks and the environment. Today the Gallipoli Peninsula Historical National Park honours the many thousands of soldiers who died there. It is a place of peace to which visitors from all over the world come. Gallipoli was and is an example of continuity and change. The battle there was an event with causes and results. The ideas and actions of New Zealand's heroes at Gallipoli helped shape and continue to help shape New Zealand society. The landing of the Anzacs on 25th April is commemorated in Anzac Day which has gone on to be a day for honouring the sacrifices made by New Zealanders in all wars.
