View PDF

This paper explores the nature of iwi through time and is structured in three parts. First, the role and institutional limitations of a tribal collective are examined. Second, the paper looks at the evolution of Maori institutional arrangements during the nineteenth century and the issue of the 'iwi counterfactual'. Third, contemporary iwi are analysed with broad conclusions drawn regarding the opportunities they pose, the challenges they face, and the alternatives available.
