Thereweretwoimportantfindingsthatcamefromthedata.First,TeMāori had three distinct stages,and it was through these stagesthatcontrolshiftedfromPakehatoMāoricontrol.

• StageOnesawthecollationofartefactsfromoutofthedustymuseum basements and intothelight.

• Stage Two was about theexhibitionitself,particularlyasitwasseenintheUnitedStatesofAmerica.

• Stage Three saw a shift inappreciation and acceptanceofMāoriartefactswhichwentaway from here as primitivepieces and returned hometo Aotearoa New Zealand asobjectsofart.

Second,wasthesubtlechangeincontrol where Māori knowledgetraditionsandpracticeswerebeingmergedwithwesternmuseumandartgallerytraditionaletiquettetoapointwhereMāoricontrolbecamefirmly embedded and eventuallybecame the dominant force ofcontrol in the management ofeachexhibition.

Foramomentintime,TeMāoriwasasymbolofAotearoaNewZealandidentity. Māori art provided aplatform where the ‘Māori voice’didn’t have to struggle andinstead couldbeheardand seenwith much volume, control anddignity. This study shows that TeMāori was a success on Māoritermsandon international terms.However, Pakeha only thoughtit was successful because of theinternationalacclaimitattracted.

Scholarships

“To the team and fellow scholarship recipients at Te Atawhai o Te Ao who

supported me during the various stages of

this thesis, ngā mihi ki a koutou katoa. To Cherryl Smith and Paul Reynolds

your encouragement at the early stages of this thesis inspired me to pursue this topic. While it has changed direction a few times,

the scaffolding that your scholarship provided, and the commitment that you have to real

Indigenous issues more specifically historical

and intergenerational trauma helped me to

develop and articulate the relationship of these issues with

disconnection, and my mahi as a future clinical psychologist. Ngā mihi

nui ki a koutou.”

“This work would not have been possible

without Cherryl Smith, Paul Reynolds and Te Rōpū o Te Atawhai o

Te Ao — to have fallen under your mantel is an ongoing gift — thank you so much. Special thanks to Keri Lawson-Te Aho for providing assistance

in connecting with Ngāti Pikiao whanaunga – thank you Whaea. Thank you also Moana Jackson for

your offer of tautoko as I contemplated and strategised around the very real risks of doing

this kind of work. I acknowledge and am

grateful for the following funding which supported

this work: Syracuse University School of Education Creative Research Grant, Te

Atawhai o Te Ao He Kokonga Whare Post-Graduate Scholarship (funded via the New
