Whakapapa And The State: THE STATE

CHAPTER3: THE STATE

In this chapter I propose to study the nature and impact of the Runanga Iwi Bill and Mäori reaction to it. While it is true that the bill remained as legislation for only six months, I will demonstrate how it has remained part of Government policies and thinking towards how to manage Mäori. The bill’s directives for defining “iwi”, defining and managing membership, and forming rünanga structures have had lasting implications for contemporary Mäori organisational structures.
