    Since 2018, just before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ardern - Labour Party administration had been in the process of reforming the health sector on a large scale. This reform was aimed at improving the health equity of Māori and Pasifika people, who seem to experience health-vulnerability. In spite of the health sector reforms since 2000, the Waitangi Tribunal considered that there were several breaches of the Treaty of Waitangi occurring in the primary health system and the District Health Boards governance. Though the government set out to reform the health sector in response to the recommendations made by the Waitangi Tribunal, the COVID-19 pandemic weakened the development in the health sector reform, resulting in multiple inequalities for Māori health. Te Aka Whai Ora: Māori Health Authority established newly under the Pae Ora (Healthy Futures) Act 2022 embedded the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi was disestablished by the National- led government. Though it seems difficult to achieve equality in the health sector for Māori, I intend to pay close attention to local initiatives the rebuild of the health system in NZ, especially the work of Iwi Māori Partnership Boards (IMPB) that continue their community-level work.

    Currently in New Zealand the increase in Māori, Pasifika and Asian people is remarkable, while the European population is decreasing. This means an increasingly diverse ethnicity within the population of elderly people over 65 years. With this, the role of the immigrant healthcare workers increases, the Care and Support Worker (Pay Equity) Settlement Act 2017 expired in 2022, thereby the remuneration of care workers is stagnating even though New Zealanders themselves are choosing not to work in the aged care sector. This increasing reliance on a workforce of immigrants is a ‘ the fill in the gap’ measure that will not deal with these problems at a fundamental level. It is essential to take a two-pronged approach: reassessing the value of care work and raising public awareness at the same time.

    本稿(2024年12月7日、国立民族学博物館での講演の基礎となった論文)は、著者のニュージーランドでの生い立ち、留学経験、そして後の日本での生活と研究活動について述べたものである。本稿は、アオテアロア・ニュージーランドのイギリス植民地としての歴史、太平洋における古代および現代の人々の移動、社会における科学の役割、そして学術研究を推進する動機に関連した「自己民族誌的」記述としても読むことができる。著者の人生経験において、移住は計画されたものでも強制されたものでもなかった。それは、客観的な科学を主観的な動機とともに追求することを可能にした学術的訓練に支えられ、見慣れた風景の中での個人的な好奇心から偶発的に生じた結果であった。遠い過去における人類の移動もまた、人間本来の好奇心、実践的な訓練、客観的な探究、そして主観的な動機の偶発的な結果であった可能性を排除することはできない。著者の場合、日本は第二の故郷となったが、それは心の中でも物理的な実在としても常に故郷であり続けた第一の故郷を否定することなく実現した。「遠回りして故郷にたどり着く」ことは、遠く離れた地へと導いた学術的決断の結果であり、それは振り返ってはじめて重要な人生の決断として理解されるものであった。短いものであれ長いものであれ、他の多くの道筋も可能であっただろう。世界の風は多くの方向から吹き、その一部は私たちの内なる深いところから吹いてくるのである。
