In this paper, we consider the silence that surrounds issues of racism in New Zealand sport. We argue that the intersection of two key ideologies -New Zealand's purported history of good race relations, and the positive contribution that sport is believed to make to racial equality -contribute to a culture of silence in which it is difficult to talk about, let alone discuss constructively, Māori experiences of racism. Our aim is to put the issue on the agenda through engagement with ten experienced Māori sport participants, coaches and administrators whose experiences demonstrate the existence of, and pain caused by, cultural and institutional racism in New Zealand sport. In this aim, we do not seek to hide behind a veil of neutrality or objectivity. Rather, following a kaupapa Māori research approach, our interest is in bringing to light the voices, frustrations and concerns of Māori sportspeople in order to contribute to a much-needed conversation.

“…In terms of structural and systemic politics, 20 years ago, prominent Māori scholar and rangatira (leader), Sir Mason Durie (1999) Philosophically, this statement speaks to perspective. Sport, rugby in particular, has been one such institution in NZ society that has historically been politically geared toward cultural hegemony and assimilation (Cockburn & Atkinson, 2017;Hapeta, 2017;Hapeta, Mulholland, & Kuroda, 2015;Hokowhitu, 2005;Hokowhitu & Scherer, 2008;Watson, Palmer, & Ryan, 2017). The dominant group perspective is privileged in NZs institutions, in this case sport, with the "problem" being Indigenous perspectives of sport.…”

Indigenous worldviews and scholarship are underrepresented and underdeveloped in sport for development and wider sport management spaces. Given many sport for social change initiatives target Indigenous populations, this is concerning. By adopting a Kaupapa Māori approach, a strengths-based stance, and working together with two plus-sport and sport-plus cases from provincial and national New Zealand rugby settings: the Taranaki Rugby Football Union’s and Feats’ Pae Tawhiti (seek distant horizons) Māori and Pasifika Rugby Academy and the E Tū Toa (stand strong), hei tū he rangatira (become a leader) Māori Rugby Development camps, the authors provide an illustration of Indigenous theory–practice. They argue sport for social change practices that focus on Indigenous peoples would be greatly improved if underpinned by the principles of perspective, privilege, politics, protection, and people. Thus, any sport for social change praxis seeking to partner with Indigenous communities ought to be informed by Indigenous philosophical viewpoints.

“…There is a growing body of analysis and critique of conventional representations of sport from the perspective of self-determination and decolonization, particularly around the involvement of Mäori and Pacifi c rugby union players at the national level (Hokowhitu, 2003(Hokowhitu, , 2007Hokowhitu & Scherer, 2008;Hope, 2002;Palmer, 2009;Ryan, 2007). Conventional discourse is set fi rmly in a colonial understanding of the physical, animalistic or even superhuman characteristics attributed to Mäori people (Ballara, 1986;Belich, 1986;Hokowhitu, 2008;McCreanor, 1997;Salmond, 1997).…”

Mäori players, coaches, administrators and audiences contribute to a wide range of sporting codes at all levels in Aotearoa/New Zealand and internationally. However, Päkehä media coverage, a representative sample of which we analysed in this project, presents Mäori participation and achievement as limited and aberrant. This paper reports our analysis of New Zealand newspapers' sports coverage in which Mäori were represented. A database of 50 articles was created from 120 newspapers. This was examined using thematic and discursive methods to explore the nature of two overarching themes within sports stories. "Mäori sport" depicted Mäori as exotic and marginal to sporting life in Aotearoa/New Zealand, while "Mäori in sport" articles subsumed Mäori within monocultural sporting codes. The implications of these fi ndings are discussed in the context of a theoretical framework of Mäori self-determination and decolonization.
