Talk:Māori politics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Things still needing to be incorporated

• The Confederation of the Chiefs of the United Tribes
• The Maori King movement
• The land rights movement (hikoi, Waitangi Tribunal, etc)

*What about real Maori politics? - rather than Maori involved in Pakeha politics!!

--- the above unsigned edit was by User:222.154.50.142.

Anything else? The unsigned comment above does have a point - there is and was a lot of Māori politics that operated outside of the mainstream. For instance:

• The Kotahitanga movement of the 19C to early 20th Century - a movement which set up a separate Māori parliamentary system. Very important and interesting. The Māori language newspapers like Huia Tangata Kotahi (1893-4) contain a lot of info on the meetings and the protocols they followed. Kahuroa 08:54, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Information about modern iwi structures and their internal politics would also be useful, I think. (I don't know much about it, unfortunately, or I'd write it myself). -- Vardion 04:22, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of Maori Politicians

Should this be a seperate or semi-integrated category?

[edit] Category:Māori politics

I have started a Māori politics category (link at the bottom of the Maori politics page), so please feel free to add any pages which might be relevant. I have taken a broad view of 'politics', so Tino Rangatiratanga and so forth are included, as are things like the Orewa speech which are of relevance to Maori even though created by Pakeha.

I will probably also create a Maori politicians category as well. This could perhaps replace the list on this page. --Helenalex 22:39, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
