This assignment will explore events that have occurred in the history of Aotearoa (New Zealand) which have had a significant impact on the health of Maori. Special attention will be given to the Treaty of Waitangi and the events of colonisation. The implications of these events for nursing practice today will also be discussed. Many countries throughout the world have been subjected to colonised control. When this occurs the indigenous people struggle to keep their foundations strong against a culture whose values are totally foreign to their own. While this experience has occurred for Maori over the last one hundred and sixty years, it is not disparate from that of other indigenous peoples who have also been caused to experience colonial domination. Australia,
Canada, South Africa and the United States to name a few, are countries with a colonial history. Control over such things as land, culture, religion, language, values, beliefs, authority, social order and essentially their freedom collapse and are taken from the indigenous people by those who colonised them. The more dominant of the two cultures then run things to suit their own needs. History has shown that the outcome of colonisation has resulted in the impoverishment of Maori, with their culture and health status suffering (McMurray, 1999).

The Treaty of Waitangi was signed on the 6th February 1840 between over 500 Rangatira (Maori chiefs) and Lieutenant
Governor William Hobson, a representative of the British Crown.
The Treaty is often referred to as the founding document of New
Zealand and has special relevance to health, with one of its main intentions being to protect the well being of the tangata whenua
(people of the land) (Davis & Dew, 1999).

However, with the signing of the Treaty has come much debate.
As a result of translation issues, the two versions did not say the same thing and subsequently quite different expectations were created. Durie (1988)

    Habakkuk

    • 1891 Words
    • 8 Pages

    The prophet Habakkuk introduced in his Book is not considered a prominent figure, as he is considered to be one of the twelve Minor Prophets. There is no indication of his lineage and is just referred to as Habakkuk the prophet in the Biblical text, but due the liturgical nature of the verses in the book, some scholars have described Habakkuk as a cultic prophet. The apocryphal and post-biblical literatures do not reach a consensus to who he was. Some say that he came from the tribe of Simeon and others in the tribe of Levi, and information as such is not regarded as true facts, rather as romanticized add-ons of the story, supporting the idea that these were just tacked on as later details. The estimated date that it was written in, was a time recent to the battle of Carchemish, which was the beginning of the 7th century BCE.…

    The Unites States has been expanding since the beginning of its foundation. From the early colonies, to the Mexican War, to the Westward Expansion and so on, Americans have had this desire to increase the size of their superiority. During the late 19th century and early 20th century, imperialism continued amongst the Americans but added an element of departure. Although America’s decisions to expand had a new factor of departure, United States expansionism was, for the most part, a continuation of previous expansion supremacy.…

    As a population living in small villages in very large huts deep in the rainforests of Venezuela the Yanomamo tribe are hunters and gatherers. Yanomamö families live in large communal homesteads. Each family has its own hearth where members eat, sleep and store belongings. Hammocks are strung one above the other like bunks with the youngest children at the bottom.” (Nowak, 2009). Although they live in what to us would be communal living, they have separate areas for each family.…

    In addition to the impacts of introduced diseases and conflict, the spread of non-Indigenous peoples undermined the ability of Indigenous people to lead healthy lives by devaluing their culture, destroying their traditional food base, separating families, and dispossessing whole communities [3][4][7]. This loss of autonomy undermined social vitality, which, in turn, affected the capacity to meet challenges, including health challenges; a cycle of dispossession, demoralisation, and poor health was…

    The Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare defines hikikomori as people who refuse to leave their house and, thus, isolate themselves from society in their homes for a period exceeding six months.[1] The psychiatrist Tamaki Saitō defines hikikomori as "A state that has become a problem by the late twenties, that involves cooping oneself up in one’s own home and not participating in society for six months or longer, but that does not seem to have another psychological problem as its principal source."[2] More recently, researchers have suggested six specific criteria required to "diagnose" hikikomori: 1) spending most of the day and nearly every day confined to home, 2) marked and persistent avoidance of social situations, 3) symptoms interfering significantly with the person’s normal routine, occupational (or academic) functioning, or social activities or relationships, 4) perceiving the withdrawal as ego-syntonic, 5) duration at least six months, and 6) no other mental disorder that…
