New Zealand Landscape as Culture: Maunga (Mountain

In this course, you will learn about New Zealand’s mountains, or 'Maunga', and the cultural identities attached to them. We'll explore the lives of indigenous M?ori people who trace their ancestry to their mountain, as well as the European, P?keha people who identify with mountain culture. New Zealand was formed on the line where the Pacific Plate dives under the Australian Plate. We will investigate the unique and volatile geology that has created our mountain chain and our large geothermal fields. This geology helped spawn M?ori origin narratives as well as European cultural stereotypes such as the 'Southern Man'. M?ori refer to their home landscape as 'whenua'. We will take you across the whenua of these islands.
