All unambiguous end-of-line hyphens have been removed and the trailing part of a word has been joined to the preceding line, except in the case of those words that break over a page. Every effort has been made to preserve the Māori macron using unicode.
Some keywords in the header are a local Electronic Text Centre scheme to aid in establishing analytical groupings.
Te Kāhui Kura Māori online is a showcase of the best Māori Studies postgraduate student writing. New issues will be published biannually. The Demonstration Issue (Volume 0, Issues 1 and 2) features work by 300 and 400-level students at Te Kawa a Māui, Victoria University of Wellington. Their topics range from Parehauraki to Rapa Nui, the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples to customary law and tikanga Māori.
This initiative is supported by the Pro-Vice Chancellor (Māori) office and Te Kawa a Māui, Victoria University of Wellington.
Submissions are by supervisor/lecturer nomination to the local editors. Nominated essays are circulated and reviewed amongst members of the editorial board. From this, a selection of 10-15 essays are incorporated into the forthcoming issue.
Submissions should be between 2000 and 4000 words. Authors must use Harvard referencing conventions for citations (Smith 1999:45) and reference lists. Please use endnotes, rather than footnotes, and keep these to a minimum. Refer to the works published in Volume 0 as a guide to content and formatting.
