Let us now look in a bit more detail at the makeup of these repertoires. Culture fostering presents arguments for the development of Maori culture. It appears to advocate multiculturalist social policy and the importance of Maori culture for New Zealand society. There are two major facets to it. On the one hand, it presents the view that Maori culture should be encouraged, fostered, protected and conserved because it uniquely and distinctively identifies New Zealand, and is a worthwhile culture in itself. For example:
(8)
I'm certainly in favour of a bit of Maoritanga it is something uniquely
New Zealand. I guess I'm very conservation minded and in the same way
as I don't like seeing a species go out of existence I don't like
seeing a culture and a language and everything else fade out. (Shell)
On the other hand, culture fostering presents the view that it is important for the Maori people to have a sense of identity and history or roots, in the way it is considered important for every person to have a sense of identity or place. For example:
(9)
I think the sort of Maori renaissance, the Maoritanga, is important
because like I was explaining about being at that party on Saturday
night, I suddenly didn't know where I was, I had lost my identity ....
I think it is necessary for people to get it [Maori identity] back
because it's something deep rooted inside you. (Reed)
Culture fostering here
is seen as positively compensating for what is viewed as a deficit or a
weakness within Maoris. Formerly Maoris tended to be seen as deficient
in relation to European culture, in need of European enculturation and
civilizing influence. In modern 'liberal' New Zealand such an obviously
white supremacist view is less acceptable, but this form of accounting
retains the notion of deficit; specifically Maoris are seen as
deficient as Maoris, and therefore now in need of Maori enculturation
(Nash, 1983).
