“…Zealand, argued to be around 90,000 people ( Pool 2015; but see Chapple 2017), which represents a population density at least 10 times smaller than Hawai'i (Kirch 1984). This low population density, coupled with a relatively short sequence has been suggested as a potential cause of lower levels of socio-political organization in pre-contact New Zealand (Kirch 1988).…”

Past population dynamics play a key role in integrated models of socio-cultural change in Polynesia. A key aspect of these models is the interplay between food production and population growth. Located on the margins of Polynesia, New Zealand presented considerable challenges to traditional Polynesian food production, many crops were not successfully established and those that were produced greatly reduced yields. However, despite the hurdles to food production and the likely influence on population, little empirical analysis of M aori population has been carried out in New Zealand. Here, we use summed probability distributions of radiocarbon dates (SPDRD) to show clear regional and local variation population dynamics. Specifically, we find population in the optimal horticultural zone follows a logistic pattern of growth, while in the sub-optimal zone both a modified logistic curve, representing slower growth than the north, or a "stepped" pattern are supported. In the non-horticultural south our results concur with previous studies that suggest population rapidly grew and then declined as faunal resources diminished. Finally, our analysis of local-scale growth showed considerable heterogeneity within the horticultural zone and homogeneity in the southern hunting region. This suggests that

“…Dating back to at least the 1970s, one can find a plethora of demographic studies examining the impact of European contact on Indigenous survivorship and survival, particularly in the Americas and Pacific (see, for example, Cook 1998;Cook and Borah 1971;Dobyns 1983;Pool 1991;Rallu 1991). With some exceptions (Pool 1991(Pool , 2015Stannard 1989;Thornton 1987), these studies have tended to have a narrow epidemiological focus on quantifying the impacts of disease on Indigenous 'virgin soil' populations (Crosby 1976; for a critique, see Kunitz 1994).…”

“…Indigenous and post-colonial science scholars (Agrawal 1995;Durie 2004;Posey 2004) have noted that Western scientific knowledge 'is not the 'sum of all knowledge'' (Tsosie 1999, p. 619) but is one of many types of knowledge. Despite the ethnocentrism that has construed Indigenous knowledge as pseudoor unscientific or an artefact of a former life (Bielawski 1990, p. 18;Scott 2011), Indigenous knowledge has adapted to European technology, while maintaining its frame of reference (Pool 2015). Such understandings have been reflected in international conventions and declarations such as the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People (United Nations 2007) and the Convention on Biological Diversity (United Nations 1992).…”

This paper explores what it takes to develop a common language and shared sense of purpose between Māori and the high-tech science sector. Robotics and automation, 3-D printing, sensors, and digital technologies are shaping New Zealand's economy in fundamental ways. If, as envisioned under New Zealand's Vision Mātauranga policy, Māori contribution to economic growth through distinctive Indigenous innovation is to be recognised and valued, then how this happens in these frontier science domains requires investigation. Findings are presented from the first phase of a longitudinal study of one National Science Challenge: Science for Technological Innovation (SfTI)-Kia Kotahi Mai, Te Ao Pūtaiao me te Ao Hangarau. Collecting a variety of data from science, business and Māori participants, the findings suggest that while there is enabling macro policy, organisational and science team human and relational capacities require recalibrating. The authors outline a model of how this can be done through a focus on mātauranga (knowledge), tikanga (practice) and kaupapa (focus areas) and how SfTI is reshaping its organisational practice to align to this model. The research also identifies the important role of the science intermediary as crucial to this alignment within teams.
