85. The Maoris Of New Zealand -- Culture And Tradition
    Around 1350 AD seven great migratory canoes (whaka) sailed from Hawaiki to NewZealand. Here they developed a culture quite distinct from the rest of the

    Extractions: New Zealand or Aotearoa (ay-oh-tay-ah-row-ah) is home to the Tangata Whenua (people of the land), the Maori. It is widely believed that the Maoris originated from the tropical islands of Polynesia in the Pacific Ocean. The Polynesians were master navigators, using the stars, the direction of sea birds in flight, cloud patterns and the color of the water as guides, they crossed the Pacific Ocean with canoes that had been built to withstand heavy seas and were able to carry many people and their possessions over great distances. There are many stories concerning how the Maoris first came to New Zealand. Some believed that there might be a dispute over land or a growing shortage of food as the population rose that forced some families to voyage off to the unknown. They then leave in their canoes for the east, knowing that there was land there because relatives have already headed in that direction and one canoe returned a few years later to describe it. After a few days at sea, a storm scatters the boats and in the morning, the leader finds his boat battered and alone. His first thought was to return home, so he heads towards the west. Unknown to him, the storm has carried his vessel so far off course that, in fact, he is sailing into an area with no islands for hundreds of miles. As days turns into into weeks, the helmsman becomes increasingly concerned. Already, they have used up most of their provisions, still, there is no sign of land. The sea remains dark blue, neither is there any patches of seaweed nor flights of birds to suggest landfall. The weather is also distinctly colder than they have ever known.

Statistics on this subject area measure the activities through which art and culture is communicated from person to person and from generation to generation. While some activities help to differentiate New Zealanders from the rest of the world (producing a sense of identify and nationhood), others help to identify various groups within New Zealand who share common interests and aspirations, such as youth and religious groups.

94. The New Zealand Edge : Introduction To Nzedge.com : Www.nzedge.com
    their external perceptions, these sentiments relate to new zealand s significantlandscape memories, and the distinctiveness of the Maori people and culture.  
    http://www.nzedge.com/intro/cyber-identity.html
    
    Extractions: A uniquely "New Zealand" cultural identity is, in essence, what binds us to this land - physically, historically, socially and emotionally. This paper focuses on the effects of computer-mediated communication (CMC) in the form of a New Zealand, internet-based community, nzedge.com, in expressing cultural identity. Exploring this virtual environment as a text, Stanley Fish's concept of "interpretive communities" (Littlejohn, 1999, p. 209) is examined. The researchers ask why globally dispersed New Zealanders commune there, sharing and constructing meanings that define and reinforce who they are, and what they think and feel about their country and identity. Introduction In an age driven by technology, we are on the move. Time is of essence as we are pushed to our human limits integrating family, work and leisure into busy, daily schedules. For the most part, communication technologies allow us to be timely, efficient and everywhere. Given these obvious advantages, life is somewhat simpler. The Internet, for example, allows us to connect to places, people and ideas transcending all physical boundaries. Humans commune on the Internet. They share, exchange, interact - communicate.

    Extractions: UNESCO is concerned to preserve, protect and enhance cultural and natural heritage. New Zealand takes an active interest in this aspect of UNESCO's work. The presentation and revitalisation of intangible heritage is of increasing importance to UNESCO. UNESCO conventions and recommendations on the protection of cultural heritage provide international standards on which to base national legislation and international agreements. Existing instruments to safeguard tangible heritage are being strengthened. A new instrument to protect underwater cultural heritage is being developed. To contribute to the maintenance of cultural diversity efforts are also being made to promote the international recognition of intangible heritage through a standard setting instrument for the integrated safeguarding of intangible heritage. UNESCO continues to work with Member States to increase the number of signatories to conventions. New Zealand is being encouraged to revise its Antiquities Act to enable the Convention on the means of prohibiting and preventing the illicit import, export, and transfer of ownership of cultural property to be ratified. UNESCO's World Heritage Convention came into being in 1972 with the primary mission of identifying cultural and natural heritage of outstanding universal value throughout the world, and ensuring its protection through international co-operation. By signing the World Heritage Convention a country also pledges to protect the whole of its national heritage, whether or not it is recognised by being included on the World Heritage List.

98. Anti-podean Journal By Rohan Quinby
    Journalist Rohan Quinby's commentary on politics, culture and the media in new zealand.  
    http://www.geocities.com/rohanq.rm/
    
    Extractions: For people active in politics, there comes a point at which you stop focusing on changing other people’s minds, and concentrate instead on building a community of people who share your principles. Think of it as a sign of maturity. Arguing about politics with people who don’t share your values can be a frustrating experience. Working with people who do can be very rewarding. The big advantage is that you don’t have to spend all your energy arguing back to your first principles every time you embark on a political project. But every once in a while a political event irrupts into your daily life. It’s the kind of event that gets you off your couch and back into the business of arguing with other people. Such an event for me was the recent speech given in Orewa by Don Brash, now the leader of New Zealand’s centre-right National Party...
