  ‘Perceptions

  Conceptions and Realities: A Study of the Tribe. Abstract: My thesis aimed to provide an understanding of the nature of tribes and tribalisation in Māori society. Social change and development among Maori – and by implication the tribe – has been characterised variously as renaissance (Durie 1998)

  neo tribalism (Rata 2000)

  the reification of culture (Hansen 1989

  van Meijl 1996)

  and political struggle (Walker 1990). These conceptualisations did not take into account the fact that the tribe as the fundamental social organisation of Māori society and the tribe as the fundamental essence of Māori identity diverged as the twentieth century progressed. The underlying premise of this thesis is that perceptions of the tribe evolved according to a range of endogenous and exogenous social and political influences. This position is juxtaposed against the proposition that the tribe is

  and can be understood simply from observation of communities

  past and present.
