  • In this discussion on Pacific navigators and explorers, Walker contrasts the research of Andrew Sharp and Elsdon Best who propose ‘drift voyage’ theories on ‘primitive’ canoes with the recent research of Dr David Lewis which demonstrates that the early Pacific explorers were very sophisticated in their use of navigational aids in the natural world. Walker adds that Dr Lewis’ research demonstrates that ‘the achievement of the Polynesian navigators, given the period of human history in which it is set (A.D. 400-900), ranks alongside its modern equivalent of a computerised Boeing 747.’

Although the School was reduced by the Education Department to a single class, it proved the philosophy worked. It was the precursor to kura kaupapa.’

  • Walker writes: "The Māori Education Development Conference 1984 was a watershed in Māori understanding of education as a tool of Pakeha hegemony and domination.

  • In this article on Māori and the justice system, Walker notes that the current system of justice results in a very high recidivist rate amongst young Māori offenders, offenders learning further ‘tricks of the trade’ while in prison, and an extremely costly penal and judicial system. At the Hui Taumata, the Māori Economic Development Conference in 1984, it was suggested these funds should go towards programmes reforming young Māori offenders.
