New Zealand's Pacific Empire

Saison 2 · Épisode 14

dimanche 2 octobre 2022 • Durée 34:26

New Zealand has had some big ambitions in the Pacific and mixed relations with our neighbours.

Watch the video version of the episode here

Through much of the 19th century NZ politicians and administrators dreamed of running a vast empire in the Pacific. Parts of that dream came true - although for some, it was more like a nightmare.

Today, Aotearoa has fewer Pacific possessions that it once had, but the history of our attempts at colonial expansion has effects which continue to reverberate throughout the Pacific.

In this episode we discuss:

Where the idea of a NZ run Pacific Empire came from.
How competition with France contributed to the push for NZ to colonize other pacific islands.
Why British authorities were often reluctant to go along with the plan.
How NZ eventually came to control Samoa, Cook Islands, Niue, and Tokelau.
The 1918 flu outbreak in Samoa and the rise of the Mau movement.
Samoan resistance to NZ control, including the "Black Saturday" killing of Samoan protesters by NZ police.
The killing of Cecil Hector Larsen in Niue.
Decolonisation and independence of some of NZs Pacific territories post WWII.

Why isn't New Zealand part of Australia?

Saison 2 · Épisode 13

jeudi 22 septembre 2022 • Durée 30:25

It seems an almost heretical question, but it’s gotta be asked! Why are NZ and Australia different countries? You might be surprised to know that we did consider joining up with our mates across the Tasman back in the late 19th/early 20th century, but it never worked out. And that’s just a small fragment of the fascinating history of our Trans-Tasman relationship with our mates across the ditch.

How colonies in Australia became hubs for trade with Māori in Aotearoa.
The different attitudes of Europeans towards indigenous New Zealanders and Australians.
How the colony of New Zealand grew out of New South Wales.

Epidemics

Saison 2 · Épisode 4

dimanche 22 mai 2022 • Durée 30:54

New Zealanders have battled Covid-19 for more than two years, but if you think it's the first time disease has knocked us around, well, this one's for you. Epidemics have long been part of our story.

During the Covid-19 pandemic we've heard people say stuff like "we're living in unprecedented times"... But every time they hear that, historians get extremely annoyed! Epidemics have had a huge impact on many countries through history and New Zealand is no exception.

Watch the video version of the episode here

In this episode we dig into the history of epidemics in Aotearoa New Zealand, including:

Why Māori were relatively free of diseases until European arrival in Aotearoa.
The factors which helped promote the development of epidemic diseases in Europe and Asia.
The early impacts of disease on Māori in the 19th century.
Efforts by colonial authorities to reduce the impacts of disease on Māori, and how these efforts were linked to a goal of "assimilating" Māori into European culture.
Efforts by Māori to reduce the impact of disease.
The development of sanitary infrastructure and its impact on epidemic disease.
The 1918 flu pandemic.
Polio epidemics in the 20th century.
The impact of modern medicines, including vaccines.

Teenagers

Saison 2 · Épisode 3

dimanche 15 mai 2022 • Durée 29:01

The 1950s saw an explosion of youth culture. "Bodgies and widgies' ' tearing round on motorbikes & hanging out in milk bars scandalised many Kiwi adults. Was "the teenager" invented in the 1950s? And what is a "milk bar" anyway?

The 1950s saw an explosion of youth culture in Aotearoa. Stories about "bodgies and widgies' ' tearing up the streets on motorbikes, canoodling in the cinemas and hanging around in milk bars scandalised many kiwi adults. In fact, it's often said the whole idea of "the teenager" was born in the 1950s. But is that really true? And what even is a "milk bar" anyway?

Watch the video version of the episode here

In this episode we trace the history of kiwi teens including:

The drama over the 1954 "Mazengarb Report"
How people in their teens were viewed by wider society, both Pākehā and Māori, in the early 19th century.
How the industrial revolution, and the introduction of compulsory education, reshaped those views.
The experience of takatāpui (LGBTQ+) teenagers, including for Māori prior to colonisation, and Pākehā teens in the late 19th Century.
Compulsory military service and a generally conservative society in the early 20th century.
How "teen culture" emerged in the 1950s.
How Māori teens experienced life in the city as Māori increasingly migrated to urban areas after WWII.
The involvement of teens in protest movements from the 1960s onwards.

Māori: The First 500 Years

Saison 2 · Épisode 2

dimanche 8 mai 2022 • Durée 32:32

The first 500 years of Māori settlement in Aotearoa saw significant, dynamic changes to how people lived; changes that challenge the idea of Māori culture as something carved in stone.

There's sometimes a temptation to think of Māori as a people "frozen in time" - that Māori culture and ways of life were unchanged between the time they arrived in Aotearoa sometime before 1300AD until Captain Cook and the Endeavour arrived in 1769.

But that's totally wrong! In 500 years, any people are going to change.... A lot!

Watch the video version of the episode here

In this episode we look at:

How Māori arrived in Aotearoa.
How the first few generations seem to have lived.
Evidence of Aotearoa's "first capital city" at Wairau Bar and the role it may have played in early Māori society.
How the extinction of megafauna and a cooling climate seem to have triggered major changes in Māori ways of life.
Why Māori had different lifestyles in different parts of Aotearoa.
How Māori traded and settled disputes.
How the end of the "little ice age" seemed to trigger more changes in Māori ways of life.

Rabbits & Other Pests

Saison 2 · Épisode 1

dimanche 1 mai 2022 • Durée 28:16

No-one knows for sure who first introduced rabbits to New Zealand, because no-one wanted to take the blame for what became one of New Zealand's biggest environmental and economic disasters. We start season two burrowing into the devastating history of rabbits and other pests.

We start season two burrowing into the story of rabbits and other pests. What started with plenty of (h)optimism has led to generations of damage to our environment and economy.

By Tim Watkin

History is a river; fluid, flowing, always changing and always the same. That bit about history always changing is something that many people find hard to accept. It's behind us, it's happened, frozen in time. We often want to come to conclusions about the past and keep it, well, in the past. Wrap it up and move on. But as Billy Bragg once wrote, "The past is always knocking incessant / Trying to break through into the present".

And it often succeeds. Whenever as a country we debate issues such as inequality, co-governance, free speech, taxes... you name it, history is banging at the door wanting to have its say.

How you see that river of history or hītōria, ah well, that depends on where you're standing. And when you're standing there. And who you're standing with. And what you already know about rivers; or think you know. Perhaps which language you speak. As hard as it can be for people to accept, there is no right version of history, history does not end and our views of the events, people and issues of the past have always and will always keep changing. And that's a good thing. History is at its most revealing when you approach it with an open mind and a little empathy.

That's been a guiding principle for the team making the second season of The Aotearoa History Show. Our job is to explain history not to pass judgment on it. That's a tough thing to do in these times, when people seem more eager than ever to make declarations about the rights and wrongs of history and the people who made it. Standing on at one point on the riverbank, looking at one part of the river while making sweeping declarations about the whole river is likely to get you lots of likes on social media…

Modern New Zealand

Saison 1 · Épisode 14

jeudi 7 novembre 2019 • Durée 21:43

It's the final episode of the Aotearoa History Show! Rogernomics, Ruthanasia and the referendum on MMP saw the total restructuring of our economy and voting system. Plus a snapshot of the changing demographics of Aotearoa/New Zealand, the growth of dairy and tourism and the challenges still to come.

The 1984 election is a tumultuous tipping point; the start of a new New Zealand with a more open, less equal economy; a new style of democracy and a more diverse population.

By William Ray

As I've been releasing episode after episode of The Aotearoa History Show over the past few weeks, a colleague has taken to asking me, "how's New Zealand history going today?", writes Tim Watkin, RNZ executive producer, podcasts and series.

I think I must have looked a bit brow-beaten by what has been a mammoth piece of work. I mean, who in their right mind tries to tell the entire history of a nation in 14 15-20 minutes YouTube videos?

But each time I've replied, something like "oh it's getting there. A bit different from yesterday" or "still changing".

Because one of the great mistakes people make when they discuss history - be it the history of New Zealand or indeed anywhere - is to assume that facts are facts and what's done is done. The truth is quite the opposite. History is forever changing, morphing, evolving into something new.

At least, our understanding of it is. Excuse me if this sounds a bit Fight Club-esque, but one of the few unchanging facts of history, is that there are few unchanging facts in history.

Our willingness to be open to that is going to vital as we prepare to teach New Zealand history in our schools. It's so important that young New Zealanders will get to learn how we got from here to there, but just as crucial for us to keep an open mind as we do it.

The risk is always that we fall into the trap of insisting there is only one way to tell our stories or only certain stories that can be told. There are heroes and villains, triumphs and disasters in all times, cultures, genders, classes, faiths and more.

Decades of Change

Saison 1 · Épisode 13

mardi 5 novembre 2019 • Durée 21:06

The 60s, 70s and 80s were rowdy decades. Kiwis were getting out in the streets and raising their voices about the rights of Māori, women and LGBT people, nuclear energy, the environment. Plus the most controversial sporting event in our history: The 1981 Springbok Tour.

Through the 60s and 70s generations clashed and minority groups fought for their rights. Social issues such as women's rights and nuclear power gained traction, as the economy stayed strong in Fortress New Zealand. The dominant politician was Robert Muldoon, but those social and economic issues were coming to a head.

Watch the video version of the episode here

Topics covered:

Women's rights movements focusing on debates over equal pay, abortion, contraceptives, sex education and sexism
LGBT rights with particular focus on law reforms about same sex relationships and controvesy around lesbians in the women's movement.
Controversy surrounding apartheid and the Springbok rugby team in the 1970s
The election of Robert Muldoon.
1970s economic problems including discussion of protectionism, Muldoon's "Think Big" policies, price and wage freezes.
The environmental movement, including the Lake Manapōuri and the Mairuia Declaration.
The 1981 Springbok Tour.
Nuclear-Free Movement and the bombing of the Rainbow Warrior.
