    Different coloured tears: Dual cultural identity and Tangihanga ā€“ A directed study

    Although whānau/family that are configured by both Pākehā and Māori identities number significantly within New Zealand, there has been little or no attention paid to the ways in which these identities influence the bereavement processes that will inevitably impact upon the lives of these whānau/family. The present study explored the experiences of an individual, whose whānau/family included two life ways; Māori and Pākehā. Of specific focus was the ways in which these identities influenced his bereavement subsequent to the death of his beloved wife, who was of Māori descent. One elderly male Pākehā participant was interviewed, using an open-ended narrative approach. The interview was semi structured around five broad themes, but the focus was upon the participantā€™s experiences and his preference in expressing these. The data analysis utilised a thematic process, which allowed the participantā€™s experiences to determine the emergent themes. The results depicted the diversity of issues that may be raised for dual cultural whānau/family within bereavement processes. Two central themes are discussed in relation to intercultural conflict and the eventual resolution that was created. Decision making processes, cultural and language differences played significant roles within the conflict and exclusion experienced by the participant. Communication and compromise provided resolution to the prior conflicts experienced. This created positive and unexpected outcomes which resulted in increased understandings and the strengthening of links between the participant, his whānau/family and his wifeā€™s marae

    Dual cultural identity and tangihanga: Conflict, resolution and unexpected outcomes

    New Zealand has a significant number of dual-cultural whānau (families) which incorporate the identities of both Pākehā (New Zealander of European descent) and Māori (indigenous peoples of New Zealand). Little attention has been paid to the bereavement processes that will inevitably impact upon the lives of these whānau/families. As part of the Tangihanga Research Programme based at The University of Waikato, a directed study was conducted with a participant whose family/whānau included two life ways: Māori and Pākehā. An open-ended narrative approach was used to explore the participantā€™s bereavement after the death of his beloved wife. Two central themes emerged within the narrative, which related to conflict and eventual resolution. Decision-making processes and language played significant roles in the conflict experienced by the participant. Communication and compromise helped to resolve these conflicts. Unexpected outcomes included new understandings and strengthened connections between the participant and his wifeā€™s marae

    Baryonic Dark Halos: Machos and Cold Gas?

    Full text link
    We consider the possibility that the dark matter in the halos of galaxies may be in the form of clusters of \macho s within which are embedded cold, dense gas clouds. Microlensing experiments have found evidence that the Galactic halo contains up to half of its mass in the form of low-mass \macho s. A number of observational and dynamical arguments point to the existence of hitherto unobserved cold gas around galaxies. We show that the cold gas can be stabilized by \macho\ clusters. Within the framework of a simple two-component model, we derive constraints on the \macho\ clusters and on the halo cold gas content. Typical cluster masses are \sim 10 \msun, typical \macho\ masses are \sim 0.01 \msun, and the gas content could be up to of order 50 \%. Various predictions are given for testing the hypothesis that such objects could constitute most of the mass in the dark halos of galaxies. If halos are indeed baryonic and contain significant amounts of cold gas, they are likely to play a much more active role in galaxy formation and evolution than is commonly supposed.Comment: 13 pages, submitted to ApJ.
