Overview
Case studies of Māori interactions with the Waitangi Tribunal at whānau, hapū, and iwi (family, clan, tribe) levels to understand Māori society, economics, and politics.
This paper is designed to focus specifically on the interaction by Māori with the Waitangi Tribunal. It is also designed for students to understand specifically Māori micro-politics, micro-economics and micro-society. It is based on a case-study method in which students will examine and scrutinise how specific whānau, hapū and iwi, and other Māori groups, have had to deal with taking their grievances to the Waitangi Tribunal. There will also be a brief examination of how particular hapū and iwi have had to cope with the challenges that have come with the settlement of their claims.
