“…592 Margaret Mutu argues that "the Independent Māori Statutory Board to the Auckland Council has proved far more effective than the three seats for Māori on the Council, which the government refused to create". 593 Yet the board's chair himself, David Taipari, considers Auckland Council's progress regarding Māori affairs as "disappointing" as it does not act upon the Board's recommendations. 594…”

This dissertation discusses recognition as a theoretical concept and a political practice. The thesis argues that currently, theories of recognition are conflated with theories of liberal multiculturalism, according to which recognition emerges through political practices that emphasise group-differentiated rights in plural societies. The thesis argues that in many cases, however, these political practices fail to realise the normative ideals of recognition theory. The argument is supported by an analysis of policies of ethnic recognition in two different geographical, political and cultural contexts: Colombia (indigenous people and Afro-Colombians) and New Zealand (indigenous people). The policies analysed in both cases First and foremost, I wish to express my gratitude to my two supervisors, Associate Professor Katherine Smits and Doctor Stephen Winter. Kathy and Steve gave highly valuable feedback during the long process of writing this thesis and helped me to improve the quality of this project greatly. They were also always very friendly and approachable during these three years.Most importantly, however, I wish to thank them because they played a very important role in my intellectual development. They helped me become a more critical and self-confident individual and, because of that, I feel deeply indebted to both of them.Other people have played an important role with their emotional and/or academic support during these three years. I particularly wish to thank Alejandra Gomez, Nicholas Ross Smith, Naser Ghobadzadeh, Hamed Soltanian and Sayyed Zuhair Araji.Finally, I wish to thank the most important person for my daily inspiration, my daughter, Sofia

“…The elements of difference are listed below: to the purely psychic and natural force-ihi', 58 and by Mutu as 'power, authority, ownership, status, influence, dignity, respect derived from the gods.' 59 There are many types of mana, but of most importance in the current research are the concepts of mana whenua and mana motuhake. 60 If mana in this case is deemed authority and power, then the term 'motuhake' is understood as 'separated, special, distinct, independent, unattached.'…”

This practice-research based article explores the relationship between mana motuhake and white patriarchal sovereignty in Aotearoa New Zealand, focusing on Ngāti Tūwharetoa as a case study. It seeks to find the relevance of Aboriginal academic Aileen Moreton-Robinson's white possessive doctrine to the Aotearoa New Zealand context. In particular, it highlights the racist nature of the law and planning systems and their inadequacies to provide for hapū and iwi. It provides a key theoretical analysis regarding the nature of white patriarchal sovereignty in Aotearoa and the need of the state to appear virtuous, to continue the legacy that started with the Treaty of Waitangi to maintain this whenua as a white possessive. Lastly, the piece questions the position of Britishness within Aotearoa New Zealand and asks key philosophical questions for all about the need to find common understandings or māramatanga about our collective future as a society.
