Donna Awatere was born at Ohinemutu Pa, Rotorua, the youngest of Arapeta and Elsie Awatere’s five children, and grew up in Ruatoria, Tokomaru Bay, Putiki Pa and Utuhina. She was educated at St Mary’s College and in 1965, aged 16, won the national Korimako Trophy oratory contest for Māori fifth and sixth formers. Donna attended Auckland University and completed her M.A.(Hons) thesis on the development of ethnic attitudes and awareness among Māori primary school children. She continued her studies at Auckland, N.Z. College of Education hoping to ‘help bring about change within the system’ and graduated with a Diploma in Teaching. She worked with three Education Development Conference groups which looked at improving the education system for Māori. In 1970 she joined the Māori rights group Nga Tamatoa and has continued to have a long involvement with Māori and women’s rights. In 1976 she travelled to the United States and visited various feminist groups. She has been involved in women’s refuges and the struggle for justice at Raglan Golf Course, Bastion Point and the 1981 anti-Springbok Tour. Donna has written many articles for the feminist publication Broadsheet and in the late 1970s and early 1980s interviewed key Māori women activists - Kara Karahara, Wiki Tawhara, Hana Jackson, Eva Rickard and Titewhai Harawira. Her series of articles entitled "Māori Sovereignty" published in 1982-83 had widespread impact throughout New Zealand and were published in a separate volume in 1984. She has been a trustee of the Putea Pounamu Trust, the Mt Wellington Marae Committee, the Tangihaere Marae Committee and Te Rananganui o Ngāti Porou. Donna was the director of the Otara Reading Programme and a member of the Ministerial Committee on Broadcasting. She has chaired the Māori Committee on Alcohol Abuse.

  • Donna Awatere discusses the relationship between Māori, Polynesian and Pākehā feminists and observes that "[w]hite people’s protest is done within the boundary of the western capitalist culture which is their heritage. Māori people’s protest is done from inside a cage within and against that very culture which has denied us our heritage and our rights.’ Donna employs a Marxist analysis which places Māori in the working class and supposedly allied with the Trade Union movement, but adds that the ‘Trade Union Movement plays by Capitalism’s rules in too many ways for it to be a threat.’ In considering the role of Left wing groups Awatere argues that the ‘white "proletariat" are as chauvinistically pro-British and anti-Māori as the white "boss".’

In this overview of Māori health Donna Awatere recounts the statistics that demonstrate that the mortality rates, psychological disorders, substance abuse, suicide rates, unemployment, criminal offending and sentencing are far higher in the Māori community than that of the Pākehā. She offers no short-term solutions and states that ‘[t]his country operates a system of vested interest of which the Māori has no part. If we were, there would be changes in the system’s design so that Māori physical health, at the very least, would equate that of white people.’

  • Donna Awatere defines waiora which she states is not solely confined to physical health but includes every aspect of the ‘life of a person’ and maintaining ‘some control over what kind of life style they want.’ She argues that society is caught up in a linear system that tends to separate the various aspects of life. Waiora, by contrast, ‘is an attempt to bring together all of [the] strands.’ She discusses her experiences working for the Psychological Services, her reading programme in Otara, and Te Koputu Taonga which provided a model of Māori health professionals working together. This paper was presented on 12 June 1985, as part of the University of Waikato’s Winter Lecture series.

  • In this third and final part of Donna Awatere’s "Māori Sovereignty" paper, she writes of the failure of past attempts by Māori leaders to achieve bicultural sovereignty because the underlying conceptual basis of the white culture is in direct opposition to that of the indigenous colonised people. She examines the conceptual differences and advocates a decolonising of the economy via: 1. ‘Forging international alliances with the radical countries and revolutionary movements of the Third World. 2. Breaking the traditional allegiances of white people eg British Commonwealth. 3. Breaking the power of the multinationals in key areas such as energy and finance.’ She addresses colonised Māori - those people who ‘have accepted as normal the key concepts underlying white culture.’ and argues that these people ‘have succeeded as white in some sections of white culture; economically, through the arts, at sport, through religion, the universities and the professions.’
