Today's New Zealand is an emerging paradigm for successful cultural relations. This anthropological inquiry focuses on religion and related symbols, forms of reciprocity, the operation of power and the concept of culture as they have developed in modern New Zealand society.

Today's New Zealand is an emerging paradigm for successful cultural relations. Although the nation's Maori (indigenous Polynesian) and Pakeha (colonial European) populations of the 19th century were dramatically different and often at odds, they are today co-contributors to a vibrant society. For more than a century they have been working out the kind of nation that engenders respect and well-being; and their interaction, though often riddled with confrontation, is finally bearing bicultural fruit. By their model, the encounter of diverse cultures does not require the surrender of one to the other; rather, it entails each expanding its own cultural categories in the light of the other.

The time is ripe to explore modern New Zealand's cultural dynamics for what we can learn about getting along. The present anthropological work focuses on religion and related symbols, forms of reciprocity, the operation of power and the concept of culture in modern New Zealand society.

William Edward Moneyhun is a researcher in symbolic and interpretive anthropology. He lives in Kennett, Missouri.
