In 19th<\/sup> century Aotearoa New Zealand, M\u0101ori-language newspapers carried the written word of the day throughout the land. The first newspapers in te reo M\u0101ori were published by the colonial government shortly after the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi. M\u0101ori quickly realised the benefits of this new instrument of communication and by 1862 embraced print culture with the publishing of their own press.<\/p>\n

Newspapers held great value for M\u0101ori because they provided access to new knowledge. M\u0101ori saw the power in news and the pleasure that could be derived from its consumption and its sharing. A new platform emerged offering opportunities to voice opinions and concerns. A reading community developed, connecting the population and bringing iwi together through issues of land, mana and rangatiratanga. The linguistic richness and rhythms of whaik\u014drero were carried over to the newspapers in the publication of letters and vigorous debates of politics, religion and education. Through newspapers, the spoken word could be transported beyond the marae.<\/p>\n

Aside from the wide and varied coverage of local, national and foreign news, correspondence offers remarkable insight into storytelling, recipes and family gatherings. Obituaries farewell notable personages with revealing reflections on everyday life. Travellers describe journeys. Practical advice is offered on health and farming. Writings include whakapapa, waiata and whakatau\u0101k\u012b, and discussions of wairua and k\u0113hua.<\/p>\n

Te Hokioi<\/em> was the first publication printed from a M\u0101ori perspective, on a press gifted to the M\u0101ori king by the Emperor of Austria. This and papers that followed, Te Paki o Matariki<\/em>, Huia Tangata Kotahi,<\/em> Te Puke Ki Hikurangi<\/em>, illustrate the confidence of M\u0101ori in printing their own language. They also demonstrate the variation of written M\u0101ori over time, in its translation, and diversity in language usage among different iwi.<\/p>\n

\"Some<\/a>Some of the items on display in the Hocken Foyer<\/strong><\/p>\n

The display at Hocken joins together a range of M<\/em>\u0101<\/em>ori-language newspapers printed by M\u0101ori and by Pakeha. The purpose of the display is to illustrate and celebrate historical records of M\u0101ori language held at Hocken. These printed pages remain a rich resource for M\u0101ori political, cultural and social history and represent invaluable taonga for the information they offer on ideas, experiences and everyday life of M\u0101ori. The display was co-curated with Dr Lachy Paterson from Te Tumu, University of Otago, who has conducted extensive research in niupepa M\u0101ori.<\/em><\/p>\n
