The papers in this issue trace a particular set of Maori interventions in anthropology, arts, museums and heritage in the early twentieth century and consider their implications for iwi 'tribal communities', development and environmental management today. They follow Apirana Ngata, Te Rangihiroa (Peter Buck) and some of their Maori and Pakeha (European New Zealander) allies at the Polynesian Society through the Dominion Museum expeditions, on Te Poari Whakapapa (the Board of Maori Ethnological Research) and in a variety of community research initiatives. The authors explore how engagement with ancestral tikanga 'practices' and with western technologies and institutions allowed these scholars and leaders to imagine te ao hou 'a new world' in Aotearoa New Zealand. Through the analysis of surviving photographs, films, artefacts, collections and displays, as well as the extensive written archives that were produced through their efforts, the articles in this issue explore how relational concepts and practices including whakapapa 'kin networks' and tuku 'exchange of treasures (taonga)' were mobilised as practical ontologies, that is, as methods for bringing new things (artefacts, systems, concepts) into being. The lasting effects of these collaborative projects on museums, scholarship, government administration and tribal cultural heritage are investigated, showing the enduring relevance of this work in the present.
本期的论文追溯了20世纪初毛利人对人类学、艺术、博物馆和遗产的一系列特殊干预，并考虑了它们对今天的伊维族“部落社区”、发展和环境管理的影响。他们跟随Apirana Ngata, Te Rangihiroa (Peter Buck)以及他们在波利尼西亚协会的一些毛利人和Pakeha(欧洲新西兰人)盟友，通过Dominion博物馆的探险，在Poari Whakapapa(毛利人民族学研究委员会)和各种社区研究活动中。作者探讨了与祖先tikanga“实践”以及西方技术和制度的接触如何让这些学者和领导人想象出新西兰的“新世界”。通过对幸存的照片、电影、文物、收藏和展览的分析，以及通过他们的努力产生的大量书面档案，本期的文章探讨了包括whakapapa的“亲属网络”和tuku的“宝藏交换(taonga)”在内的相关概念和实践是如何被动员为实践本体论的，也就是说，作为带来新事物(文物、系统、概念)的方法。这些合作项目对博物馆、学术、政府管理和部落文化遗产的持久影响进行了调查，显示了这项工作在当前的持久相关性。

Although chiefs are frequently associated with Polynesia and big-men with Melanesia, ascription and achievement are relevant to leadership in both regions. Hierarchical societies with ascribed leaders occur throughout Melanesia and, based on archaeological and ethnographic evidence, were more common in the past. In recent centuries, external influences have provided opportunities for achieved leadership. The purpose of this paper is to reconstruct Uneapa society as it existed at the end of the 19th century before intensive European contact. Historical accounts, recent archaeological research and oral accounts indicate that prior to the 20th century, Uneapa consisted of a number of chiefdoms. Location, descent and ranking were integral to social organisation, including institutions of war and peace. A 19th-century conflict that involved the whole island and resulted in the destruction of a community illustrates how these elements intersected. Internal and external change over 120 years have transformed Uneapa into a more egalitarian society, but traces of the old order remain. Uneapa is situated to the north of the Willaumez Peninsula, within the Proto-Oceanic triangle (as defined by Malcolm Ross), the likely dispersal centre for Western Oceanic languages. In a seismically active region, Uneapa differs from the Willaumez Peninsula and coastal West New Britain in terms of residential continuity. However, there are clues suggesting that social change has occurred since settlement.

During the 1940s and 1950s koiwi tangata (human remains) were excavated at the Wairau Bar and taken to the Canterbury Museum. The excavations provided the scientific community with an abundance of data about the Polynesian settlement of New Zealand. For the Rangitane community of the Wairau the excavations have been a cause of distress. At the time of the excavations, tribal elder Peter MacDonald protested the removal of the koiwi tangata. Although his protests were unsuccessful, his legacy of protest was passed to subsequent generations. This article examines the history of the Wairau Bar and the excavations from a Rangitane perspective, contextualising the tribe's experiences within a longer history of European colonisation. The article discusses the negotiations between various institutions and Rangitane, which led to the repatriation of koiwi tangata in 2009. A condition of repatriation was that the koiwi tangata undergo scientific analysis, including mtDNA sequencing. Despite having some reservations initially, the research has had positive but unexpected outcomes for Rangitane. The article suggests that mtDNA sequencing, with its focus on maternal descent, has led to a growing interest in female ancestors generally.
