To order Contents Introduction Cultural Statistics Programme Cultural Experiences Survey Household Economic Survey ... List of figures Preface From Brian Pink, Government Statistician, Statistics New Zealand and Martin Matthews, Chief Executive, Ministry for Culture and Heritage Given the increasing emphasis placed on the role of culture by both local and central government, it is timely that "A Measure of Culture: Cultural experiences and cultural spending in New Zealand" is being released. It is the sixth publication in the Cultural Statistics Programme operated jointly by the Ministry for Culture and Heritage and Statistics New Zealand. The Cultural Experiences Survey, on which much of the report is based, was made possible through funding from the Cross Departmental Research Pool. The report presents a number of notable findings from the Cultural Experiences Survey. One is the high level of engagement by New Zealanders with cultural activities, with 93 percent having experienced at least one activity during the survey period. Another is the very high level of interest in New Zealand content in a range of activities, including theatre, music and literature. The section on barriers to experiencing cultural activities identifies issues that can help inform cultural organisations in their delivery of cultural activities. Finally, the information on household spending indicates that the economic importance of spending on cultural activities cannot be overlooked, as it accounts for 4 percent of domestic expenditure.

It has a diverse multi-cultural population of around 3.8 million people. The majority of New Zealanders are of British descent, and the largest minority is New Zealand's indigenous Maori who make up around 14 percent of the population. Language English is the common and everyday language of New Zealand. You may also hear other languages spoken, including Maori, which is also an official language of New Zealand. Early Settlement The Maori were New Zealand's first settlers. They made an epic journey from legendary Hawaiki, probably in Polynesia to the north of New Zealand, about 1000 years ago. The great explorer Kupe, who legend says first discovered New Zealand, named the new land Aotearoa - Land of the Long White Cloud.

These first settlers were called 'Moa Hunters' or Archaic Maori. The Maori name for the country is Aotearoa which translates as 'the land of the long white cloud'. Hongi (Maori Greeting) Te Papa Museum, Wellington The first European to discover New Zealand was Dutch explorer Abel Tasman. He sailed around the islands without landing in 1642. The name New Zealand, or Nieuw Zeeland, was given by Dutch geographers, named after the Dutch maritime province of Zeeland. In 1769 Englishman James Cook navigated both islands and landed in many places. He named many places around New Zealand and had many dealings with Maori, most of them friendly. Frenchmen, Englishmen and Italians also visited the country. Following the European publication of reports from all these people, the country became home to the hardy advance guard of colonists - whalers, sealers and flax and timber traders.

February NZ Herald : New Zealand Culture Diversifies. New Zealand’s culture is much more diverse now than 10 years ago, and a strong eastern influx is partly responsible. One in 15 people are of Asian ethnicity – more than double the 1991 figure, according to last year’s census. And, although nearly one in six of our 3.7 million- plus population is multilingual, one in 50 people do not speak English. When the language question was first asked in the 1996 census, the response was similar, indicating a new wave of non-English speakers. Not counting children under- five years of age, the majority of immigrants who have not master New Zealand’s pre-dominant tongue speak Samoan, Cantonese and Korean. By far the fastest growing ethnic group is from Korea – up from only 930 a decade ago to 19,026. More than 2 million people said they were Christian, but there was a big increase in other religions. Islam disciples leaped 74 percent in five years to 23,631, Hindu 56 percent to 39,798, Buddhist 48 percent to 41,634 and Spiritualism 64 percent to 16,062. The number of people aged 85 or older increased 26 percent in the past five years.

26. Immigration - New Zealand The question is do we want a new zealand culture, or a collection ofdistinct ethnic cultures? To what degree do we expect immigrants http://www.maxim.org.nz/main_pages/news_page/immigration.html

take me to "making news" l home page By John McNeil New Zealand swelled by more than 37,000 permanent immigrants over the last year, and everyone except Winston Peters seems happy about this. But there is a major question that is not being discussed: what kind of New Zealand do we want as a consequence? It is an urgent question, because the issue is causing riots and protest marches across Europe, and extreme right-wing groups are using it as an excuse to wreak havoc. One in 20 New Zealand residents today was born overseas. There have been several years since the 1970s when our total population was saved from decline only by immigration. We are rapidly turning into a multicultural nation, with the endorsement of many people from the Prime Minister down. Certainly, more and more is tolerated than once was.. The Bill of Rights Act lists many grounds on which people may not be discriminated against. But one of the jobs of the law is to define where something ceases to be tolerated. If everything is tolerated, nothing can be ruled out. America was not prepared to tolerate the behaviour of the terrorists who destroyed the Trade Centre on September 11. But in between the extremes of complete tolerance and terrorism lies a vast middle ground which is still being fought over.

New Zealand Culture Among the many regions three places you won't want to miss on your visit include the Bay of Islands in the far North Island, the birth place of the country and signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, Rotorua in the heart of the North Island, and Wellington in the lower North Island. Bay of Islands The Far North is rich in history having welcomed the first missionaries, witnessed the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi and housed the first seat of Government at Russell. Blessed with the country's highest average temperatures, it has earned the nickname of 'The Winterless North.' The Waipawa Forest, North of Dargaville is home to the last great stand of Kauri trees, some of them, over 2000 years old. Rotorua Rainbow - Rotorua Wellington Wellington is the capital city of New Zealand. A cosmopolitan and friendly city with some of the country's best restaurants and fine entertainment. It's a city that's small enough to be explored on foot, yet large enough to be the centre of the arts. Definitely visit Te Papa - NZ's national museum. Then choose from many other national institutions including the National Archives (see the original Treaty of Waitangi), the National Library (the Alexander Turnbull collection), and the New Zealand Film Archive. Te Papa - Wellington Te Papa National Museum tells the great stories of New Zealand's land and its people. From high culture to Kiwiana, a unique museum experience that New Zealand is proud of.

skip navigation NZHistory.net Gallery DNZB themes / New Zealand Literature We Never Had It So Good? Themes from the Dictionary of NZ Biography Standing upright New Zealand literature in the 1940s and 1950s Historian and poet Keith Sinclair has argued convincingly that the decade of the 1950s was the time 'when the New Zealand intellect and imagination came alive'. This flowering of creative and critical talent was not sudden, but the climax of a process that had begun nearly twenty years before. The 1930s: a new departure The 1930s saw the emergence in New Zealand of a new breed of writers, whose work usually embodied a reaction against established ideas and conventions. Often these writers were influenced by recent trends in literature overseas, notably modernism; and by social and political events such as the Depression. A growing, if narrow, sense of nationalism was expressed, focussing on the dilemma of Pakeha who still looked to England as 'Home', but increasingly identified with New Zealand through ties of kinship and daily experience. Some major literary figures of the thirties, including short story writer Frank Sargeson, poets Allen Curnow, A.R.D. Fairburn, Denis Glover and R.A.K. Mason, and Glover's printer associate Bob Lowry, remained active in the 1940s and 50s. D Frank Sargeson in his garden, Takapuna, Auckland, 1932.

Ethnologies comparées Le CERCE N°6 Printemps 2003 OCÉANIE, DÉBUT DE SIÈCLE Sommaire Ethnologies comparées « OUR PLACE » IN NEW ZEALAND CULTURE H ow the Museum of New Zealand Constructs Biculturalism Michael Goldsmith Télécharger l'article en format Word (80 Ko) Résumé : Le Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa a été controversé lors de son ouverture en 1998 mais a depuis rencontré un large succès populaire au point de devenir une icône de l’identité nationale. La controverse, confinée au cercle des élites locales, portait sur la manière opposée dont les objets représentatifs des cultures Maori et Pakeha étaient exposés : les premiers de façon révérencieuse, les seconds à la manière d’objets incohérents, temporaires et dérisoires. En analysant les modalités respectives de leur exposition et les représentations qui les entourent, cet article suggère que la dichotomie sacré/profane que le Musée met en avant est certes discutable, mais est sans doute aussi un trait inéluctable de la politique biculturaliste dans un contexte postcolonial. Abstract : The Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa opened in 1998 amidst controversy but has been a huge popular success and has become an icon of national identity. The controversy was confined to elite circles and stemmed from criticisms of the contrasting ways in which Maori and Pakeha (European) cultural items were displayed — the former in a reverential manner and the latter as a kind of 'amusement arcade' of supposedly incoherent, temporary and mocking exhibits. Through an analysis of these displays and of the representations surrounding them, this paper argues that the sacred/profane dichotomy promulgated by the Museum may be open to argument but is probably an inescapable feature of the official policy of biculturalism in a postcolonial setting.

They are Polynesian and comprise about 8% of the country's population. Maoritanga is the native language which is related to Tahitian and Hawaiian. It is believed that the Maori migrated from Polynesia in canoes about the 9th century to 13th century AD. Dutch navigator Abel Tasman was the first European to encounter the Maori. Four members of his crew were killed in a bloody encounter in 1642. In 1769 British explorer James Cook established friendly relations with some Maori. By the 1800 visits by European ships were relatively frequent. In 1840 representatives of Britain and Maori chiefs signed the Treaty of Waitangi. This treaty established British rule, granted the Maori British citizenship, and recognized Maori land rights.

Heritage Operations The New Zealand Flag NZ Flag topics History Description and Dimensions Choosing a Flag and Flag Care Flying the Flag ... FAQ The New Zealand Flag is the symbol of the realm government and people of New Zealand. Its royal blue background is reminiscent of the blue sea and clear sky surrounding us. The stars of the Southern Cross emphasise this country's location in the South Pacific Ocean. The Union Flag gives recognition to our historical foundations and the fact that New Zealand was once a British colony and dominion. The New Zealand Flag may be flown on any day of the year. It is particularly appropriate to fly it on days of national commemoration, such as Anzac Day, and on other important occasions. As New Zealand's national symbol the New Zealand Flag should be treated in a manner worthy of its high status. The Flags, Emblems, and Names Protection Act 1981, administered by the Ministry for Culture and Heritage, defines and protects the Flag. Contained in the Act is the power to prosecute those who misuse it. Surprisingly, many people are not aware of the special significance attached to the New Zealand Flag. Within certain guidelines, the New Zealand Flag may be used in a number of ways. Similarly, the correct way to display the New Zealand Flag varies from one situation to another. The aim of this website is to simplify flag flying, which otherwise may seem too complicated and not worth the trouble. It contains a
