You will engage with a variety of primary sources through the historical context of the 1975 Māori Land March. The specific focus question is:

How is mana expressed in the 1975 Māori Land March?

After considering the various ways mana is expressed, you will:

  1. Select at least FIVE appropriate primary sources that are relevant to the focus question. You will need to ensure that you have selected a variety of primary sources, such as oral history traditions, artefacts, different types of written sources, and different types of visual sources.
  2. Identify the main ideas within the evidence and their relevancy to the focus question, and communicate this using source annotations.
  3. Explain the strengths and limitations of your chosen primary sources where applicable. How reliable are your chosen sources? How relevant are they to your focus question? Are they biased? Some strengths and limitations of sources to consider in your response include:
  • how a source uses facts
  • whether these facts have been verified
  • the source, or source creator’s, perspective
  • the details, and wider context, of the source
  • whether the source is biased
  • whether the source lacks detail or has gaps.
  1. Make connections between sources that relate to the main ideas you’ve identified and include these in your source annotations. This could include identifying:
  • similarities between the main ideas in your chosen sources
  • differences between main ideas your chosen sources
  • a combination of both.
  1. Reflect on the strengths and limitations of the chosen sources across the collection as a whole. A collective assessment of all the sources may be done as a summary paragraph or through annotations.

Getting started

  1. Consider the topic content you have covered in class on the 1975 Māori Land March. Think about how mana has been expressed in this topic. For example, mana could include consideration of mana motuhake, mana whenua, mana wāhine, and mana tangata:
  • Mana motuhake refers to autonomy, self determination, and control over one’s own destiny.
  • Mana whenua refers to territorial rights, authority over land, and power which derives from the land.
  • Mana wāhine refers to the uniqueness of women, and the power and strength women hold. The relationship of mana wāhine to mana tāne could also be looked at, as expressed through men’s tautoko of the Land March.
  • Mana tangata refers to power and status gained through one’s leadership talents; through one’s strength of character; from basic human rights; or by birthright.
  1. Some primary sources of historical evidence you may wish to consider include:
  • waiata
  • haka
  • poetry
  • artefacts
  • newspaper articles
  • photographs
  • cartoons
  • television coverage
  • oral interviews.
  1. Reflect on possible sources. You might start by identifying what information is within the sources and consider the extent it helps you to answer your focus question.
