Abstract
In the 1990s, we witnessed the rise of a new form of management over cultural affairs in the Americas and Oceania as their
respective indigenous populations strove for greater participation in governance. This article illustrates the characteristics
of this new current in the public sector by examining recent innovations in heritage administration and governance in New
Zealand. In particular, this paper deals with organizational, managerial, and professional practices in New Zealand’s cultural
sector by focusing on the Museum of New Zealand and the partnership between the Ministry for Culture and Heritage and the
indigenous Māori community.
