Te Waka! Life histories of two contemporary Polynesian voyaging canoesKottmann, Ilka, n/a January 2001 (has links)
This thesis concerns the life-histories of the two contemporary Polynesian vovaging canoes from Aotearoa New Zealand. It documents the background, construction and voyages of Hawaiki Nui (1979 - 1986) built by Matahi Whakataka-Brightwell and Te Aurere (1992 - 1998) built by Hekenukumai Puhipi Busby. It also highlights the historical and cultural significance of waka for Maori and other indigenous Pacific peoples.
Based on my field work as a participant in Maori voyaging between 1996 and 1998, I argue that this revival of waka voyaging reaffirms the cultural identities of contemporary Maori and other Polynesians. The case studies of Hawaiki Nui and Te Aurere confirm the ongoing significance of waka not only in Aotearoa New Zealand, but Pacific-wide. Contemporary Polynesian waka voyaging is historically significant as it revives unique Polynesian skills, such as traditional waka-building, navigation and sailing techniques. It is also culturally significant, as it reinforces central Maori (and Polynesian) cultural concepts, such as whakapapa (genealogy ties) and whanaungatanga (sense of belonging).
At a time when Maori(as well as other indigenous Pacific peoples) are constantly negotiating and redefining their cultural boundaries within their respective socio-political contexts, Polynesian voyaging waka are reappearing as a strong symbol of Pacific Islanders� cultural identities. As a symbol of a shared seafaring past they create timeless platforms for Maori and other Polynesians to negotiate the boundaries of their cultures.

Paddle to Seattle : a native Washington movement to "Bring them canoes back home"Lincoln, Leslie Jeanne January 1990 (has links)
This thesis documents the 1989 Washington Centennial Commissions'
Native Canoe Project. Seventeen Western Washington
tribes participated in a canoe-oriented cultural heritage
renewal movement. The ethnographic setting establishes Native
dugouts in their historic social context and presents the
classic hull forms of representative canoe types. After a
hiatus of several generations of canoe use, many tribes began
to reconstruct their disappearing canoeing ways. Through the
process of carving and using their dugouts, they have addressed
current issues. Canoe racing and voyaging has proven to be
effective, culturally relevant alternative to drug and alcohol
abuse. Native people reaffirmed access to landing beaches and
forest resources and created community carving centers. Case
studies of the Lummi, Suquamish, Tulalip, Port Gamble Klallam
and Quileute tribes reveal continuity, schisms and the reinvention
of Native dugout traditions. The culminating "Paddle
to Seattle" voyage illuminates the vital role of these canoes
to unite communities and legitimize Indian values. Abundant use
of Native commentary from collected oral histories substantiate
my interpretations and offer authority to Native perspectives.

Residents' perceptions of the Berg River canoe marathon as a major sporting event in the Western CapeMbaze-Ebock, Vivian Arrey January 2006 (has links)
Thesis (MTech (Tourism and Hospitality Management))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2006 / This research examines the ways in which local residents living in close proximity to the
event perceived the Berg River Canoe Marathon as a major event in the Western Cape.
By identif'ying these different patterns ofperceptions within the community, it is possible
to gain a better understanding of both the tangible and intangible impacts of events and
how they differently affect the quality of life of local residents as individuals and the
community as a whole. The research method was based on a convenient sampling
approach. A questionnaire survey of two hundred residents was conducted and five
different dimensions of perceiving the impacts of events were examined ranging from
extremely negative to very positive. The impacts analysed included social, economic and
environmental impacts. The residents in all the five locations perceived community pride
and entertainment to be very positive and were in favour ofthe continuation of the event.
1n profiling the residents who held each of the representations identified, it was found
that the most negative group was those residents who had little or no involvement in
tourism and are not interested in canoeing as a sport. Thus, it is necessary for event
organisers and event managers to get the members of community involved in the
planning and management of the event to spread the benefits to a larger portion of the
community.

Service quality in sport tourism : the case of the Berg River canoe marathonTseane, Lisebo January 2006 (has links)
Thesis (MTech (Tourism and Hospitality Management))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, Cape Town, 2006 / The concept of service quality within sport tourism is important and plays a major role in
differentiating each sport tourism product from its competitors. The purpose of this study
was to evaluate the level of service quality within South African sport tourism and in the
tourism industry in general, by focusing on a specific case study, the Berg River Canoe
Marathon. The study discussed the importance of service quality within sport tourism,
while the methods and instruments applicable to assess the level of service quality within
sport tourism, were also addressed.
The survey was conducted across selected viewpoints, which included the starting and
the finishing points of the marathon. A total of 100 survey questionnaires were
distributed to spectators and participants at the event using purposive sampling, while
stratified random sampling was used to determine the viewpoints. The SERVQUAL
dimensions were incorporated in the questionnaires as the basis to determine the level of
service delivery at the event.
The key fmdings for the study include a lack of service delivery consistency across the
selected areas, the acceptance of service delivery by some respondents owing to the
nature of the event and less interaction between event organisers and spectators. In
addition, the starting and the finishing points were the areas, which were found to deliver
high quality services

A comparative study of the management and socio-economic impacts of sport tourism events in Durban and Cape TownJohnson, Deborah Joanne January 2010 (has links)
Thesis (DTech (Tourism and Hospitality Management ))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2010 / The relationship between sport and tourism is symbiotic and offers valued visitor experiences that aid sport tourism development. The growth of sport tourism justifies critical consideration, as sport is an important activity within tourism, while tourism is fundamentally associated with several types of sport. Sport and tourism have become significant economic activities in both the developed and the developing world. Sport tourism events is an essential category of sport tourism and because of their special characteristics, require particularly good organisation. Hence, the monitoring and evaluation of sport tourism events are integral to developing a sustainable sport tourism event industry in South Africa.
The focus of this study was a comparative analysis of the management and socio-economic impacts of sport tourism events in Durban and Cape Town, utilising a case study approach. The study specifically evaluates the Comrades Marathon (CM), the Hansa Powerade Dusi Canoe Marathon (DCM), the Old Mutual Two Oceans Marathon (OMTOM) and the Isuzu Berg River Canoe Marathon (BR). Of importance in this study is stakeholders‟ involvement, perceptions, attitudes and understanding relating to the costs and benefits linked to the events. These particular events provided excellent case studies for comparative event impact analysis, as they are well-known sport tourism events, namely two running marathons and two canoe marathons that are held at popular tourist destinations. These case studies reflect a cross-section of experiences contrasting institutional dynamics, management issues, resident perceptions, sport event types as well as socio-economic and spatial contexts. As stakeholders have a direct influence on managerial decision making, a stakeholder analysis was undertaken. Stakeholders included individuals and organisations that were actively involved in the sport tourism events and whose interests may have been positively or negatively affected by the sport tourism event, viz. spectators, managers, sponsors, local government officials and residents.
Due to the outdoor nature of the events, the movement of several people at spectator areas and along routes and the surveys being conducted face to face, a multistage, stratified, spatially-based purposive sampling method was used for spectators and residents. Two surveys were conducted at the events: a spectator questionnaire (n = 200 per event) and a service quality questionnaire (n = 100 per event). Spectators were approached while within the various spectator congregation points of each of the sport tourism events, whereas residents located within a 10-km radius of the sport tourism event route were surveyed (n = 200 per event) after the events. Structured key informant interviews were conducted with sponsors, managers and local government authorities.
