Kauhanganui
The Whakakitenga, formerly known as the Kauhanganui, is the governing council of the Waikato Tainui tribal confederation in New Zealand. It is structured as a bicameral parliament, and members are elected for three year terms, with each marae electing two members. The parliament was established by King Tāwhiao of the Kīngitanga in 1889 or 1890. Background Te Kauhanganui was originally established at Maungakawa, located in the present day settlement of Te Miro, near Cambridge. It was founded by Tāwhiao after his proposal to set up a pan-Māori parliament in New Zealand to complement the colonial legislative council was denied by Auckland authorities. The parliament's members consisted of tribally appointed delegates who advised King Tāwhiao on policy and was used by him to communicate with his subjects. The Kauhanganui remains in existence today, and currently serves as the governing council of the modern Waikato Tainui tribal government. It is headed by 204 tribal memb ...

Māori Politics
Māori politics () is the politics of the Māori people, who were the original inhabitants of New Zealand and who are now the country's largest minority. Before the arrival of Pākehā (Europeans) in New Zealand, Māori society was based largely around tribal units, and chiefs (') provided political leadership. With the British settlers of the 19th century came a new British-style government. From the outset, Māori sought representation within this government, seeing it as a vital way to promote their people's rights and improve living standards. Modern Māori politics can be seen as a subset of New Zealand politics in general, but has a number of distinguishing features, including advocacy for indigenous rights and Māori sovereignty. Many Māori politicians are members of major, historically European-dominated political parties, while others have formed separate Māori parties. For example, Te Pāti Māori, holding six of seven Māori electorates, is one such party. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
