“…New Zealand's founding constitutional document is the Treaty of Waitangi, which is further supported by the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous peoples and clearly defines indigenous rights to access and preservation of food sources. 1 Indigenous Māori knowledge is now being sought after to provide answers nationally and globally as to how to achieve sustainability and adaptability in everchanging environments. 2 A New Zealand founding nutritionist Dr Muriel Bell (born in 1898) identified through her own observation and research, the following elements that determine the nutritional wellbeing of a country's inhabitants.…”

Aim: To provide a succinct overview of the historical food eating patterns of Māori, the indigenous population of New Zealand, by examining the dietary practices of older Māori, and the significance of these practices for their health and wellbeing. Method: A historical review of food sources that provided pre‐colonisation eating patterns of Māori was developed. Full engagement of older Māori was sought in the design and implementation of a longitudinal study of ageing ‘Life and Living to Advanced Age: A Cohort study in New Zealand’, (LILACS NZ) referred to in the present review. A cross‐sectional pilot study, which included older Māori aged 75 to 79 years, provided detail of traditional foods currently utilised in Northland and the Bay of Plenty regions. For the main study, local Māori providers conducted the research processes and the longitudinal cohort study (LILACS NZ) was implemented. Nutritional assessment included nutrition screening at baseline and detailed assessment using the repeated multiple pass, 24‐hour recall method for each participant in a 12‐month follow up. Results: A wide range of foods were utilised prior to European contact. Similar traditional food was used in Northland and Bay of Plenty regions and these traditional foods were found to be valued and frequently used by older Māori. Those able to access important traditional foods on a regular basis had a significantly better nutrition status. Those who had less regard for the importance of traditional foods to practise their culture tended to be at higher nutrition risk. Screening identified over half of older Māori to be at high nutrition risk. Most participants viewed traditional foods to be very important and were able to eat these on a regular basis. Conclusion: Research shows the impact of colonisation resulted in displacement of traditional foods from the diets of older Māori and this has been accompanied by higher nutrition risk. Food is an important cultural activity for Māori and Māori elders need to be supported to increase their consumption of traditional foods. Further investigations will examine the dietary patterns and nutrient intake of older Māori in relation to health and wellbeing.

“…(Davis 2007, 57) On the other hand, state representatives remained focused on retaining a strict minimalist perspective, citing the term's association with territorial integrity, noninterference and a related right to secession (Davis 2007, 57). 156 The outcome of these competing positions resulted in something of a compromise; through the inclusion of an Indigenous right to self-determination, Stefania Errico (2007a), observes that the Declaration (2007)…”

Indigenous Peoples, Civilization and the Expansion of International Society: An 'Inter-Societal Perspective

Pearcey¹

Until recently, the expansion of international society has been depicted as the linear projection of European norms and values into the non-European world; specifically, Westphalian norms and values. Increasingly however, critical English School scholars -amongst others -have begun to critique this perspective, noting that the evolution of international society has been constituted through the interaction between expanding European empires and the non-European peoples they came into contact with. Edward Keene (2002), for instance, argues that the norms and values that underpin international society are the product of imperialism. Problematically however, many of these accounts tend to overlook the long-term negative effects of these norms and values, focusing instead on how they established the foundations for a cosmopolitan society of states. This dissertation reflects critically on these types of arguments, through an historical analysis of Indigenousstate relations. Specifically, it asks: What role have state-Indigenous relations had in constructing the colonial legacies of the discourse on civilization? And, what are the implications of this for understanding the relationship between international and world society in International Relations theory? Through this analysis, this dissertation contribute to IR theory in three ways: 1) by supplementing the English School's focus on intra-societal relations with greater attention paid to 'intersocietal' relations; 2) by establishing a space for dialogue between the English School and Postcolonialism; and 3) by 'decolonizing' English School theory, challenging its Eurocentric and state-centric assumptions.iii
