Abstract

Ever since colonisation by the British in 1840, Māori, the indigenous peoples of Aotearoa New Zealand, have been fighting to reclaim their mana (authority and influence) over their whenua (land). They were set to regain mana in emergency management (EM) through a parliamentary Bill, but a recent change of government has seen this legislation discharged. This paper explores the barriers to and the opportunities for gains in authority and influence in EM, with authority understood as representation on the national and regional EM bodies, and influence as incorporation of the Māori worldview into legislation and supporting EM implementation documentation. The study applies these different levels of analysis to two case studies to examine any EM-related changes between the Christchurch earthquake in February 2011 and the arrival of Cyclone Gabrielle in February 2023. The paper offers several strategies at both analytical levels that Māori could use to further their mana under the current government.

在紧急情况管理立法及其实施方面恢复管理的障碍和机会Māori

自从1840年被英国殖民以来，Māori，新西兰的土著人民一直在为收回他们对他们的whenua（土地）的mana（权威和影响力）而斗争。他们本来打算通过一项议会法案重新获得应急管理（EM）的控制权，但最近的政府更迭使这项立法被取消。本文探讨了在新兴市场中获得权威和影响力的障碍和机会，其中权威被理解为在国家和区域新兴市场机构中的代表权，而影响力则被理解为将Māori世界观纳入立法和支持新兴市场实施文件。该研究将这些不同层次的分析应用于两个案例研究，以检查2011年2月克赖斯特彻奇地震和2023年2月加布里埃尔飓风到来之间的电磁相关变化。本文在两个分析层面提供了一些策略，Māori可以使用这些策略来进一步加强他们在现任政府下的管理。
