520 _aThis thesis examines the nature of violence as perpetrated on Maori women as a result of colonisation. Violence as an outcome of colonisation includes physical, emotional, spiritual, and psychological layers, and as a consequence affected Maori women and whanau in a multitude of ways, and by association, Maori society. This thesis begins with a discussion of the role of Maori women according to the definitions of whakarite evident in Maori society. It argues that whakarite or balance was a necessary imperative of Maori society and Maori tikanga, and its customary practices and law. Colonisation as a proponent of violence sought to undermine the balance that already existed in Maori society. Through a systematic process of alienation, colonisation and its theories infiltrated the ethos of Maori society, divorcing people away from their customary practices, and beliefs, and their autonomy over resources. Lastly, colonisation created an imbalance between the roles of men and women. As a consequence for Maori women, their role and status as whare tangata was challenged, de-constructed and demeaned. This thesis argues that before the restoration of Maori people can occur, the balance between Maori men and Maori women needs to be re-constructed and re-aligned.--AUTHOR'S ABSTRACT
