NOHANZ regrets that we have had to cancel Indira’s presentations in Auckland on the 11th September and Wellington on the 12th September 2017. We are very disappointed that Immigration NZ have chosen to turn down such an eminent visitor’s visa application on the basis of what we feel was a technicality, with no right of appeal or reconsideration.

CANCELLED: Wanaka Autumn Arts School 24-29 April 2017
Tutor – Judith Fyfe
It is the great events that make history but ultimately, it is the individual’s perception of events that matters. The collection of oral testimony, based on individual memory, enriches the store of historical evidence to reconstruct the past whether that past is a collective public one or a private, familial one.
This 5-day workshop will provide the essentials of oral history research including methodology, project planning, best equipment, interview techniques, legal and ethical issues and processing oral history in order to make the material available for use. The course involves plenty of hands-on practice.
The Alexander Turnbull Library is assisting with this course.

A Course at Waikato University
HIST380-17A HAM : Special Topic: Oral History in Indigenous Perspective: Stories of Moana, Maui, and Native Appropriation
Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences History Programme
This paper introduces students to the inter-connected histories that follow Maui and “Moana” through the Pacific via an analysis of Māori oral history research. It explores the contemporary appropriations of indigenous histories in film, gaming, texts, and productions like the recent Disney motion-picture Moana, and asks: What is the impact of these appropriations on indigenous history, knowledge, and orality? Students will examine key themes and questions in indigenous oral history, focusing on the form, methods, ethics, theories, and the decolonial politics of native oral history.
