According to Melanesian and Polynesian mythology, mana is a supernatural force that permeates the universe. Anyone or anything can have mana. They believed it to be a cultivation or possession of energy and power, rather than being a source of power. It is an intentional force.
Robert Ranulph Marett was a British ethnologist and a proponent of the British Evolutionary School of cultural anthropology. Founded by Marett's older colleague, Edward Burnett Tylor, it asserted that modern primitive societies provide evidence for phases in the evolution of culture, which it attempted to recapture via comparative and historical methods. Marett focused primarily on the anthropology of religion. Studying the evolutionary origin of religions, he modified Tylor's animistic theory to include the concept of mana. Marett's anthropological teaching and writing career at Oxford University spanned the early 20th century before World War Two. He trained many notable anthropologists. He was a colleague of John Myres, and through him, studied Aegean archaeology.
The following lists events that happened during 1983 in New Zealand.
Marett is a surname, and may refer to:
New Zealand participated in the ninth Winter Paralympics in Turin, Italy.
Graeme John Miller is a former New Zealand racing cyclist from Blenheim. He competed at three Olympic Games in 1984, 1988 and 1992. His best result was in 1988 in Seoul where he finished 8th in the men's road race.
The New Zealand women's cricket team toured South Africa in 1971–72, playing three Test matches. New Zealand won the series 1–0, with two drawn Tests.
Carol Elizabeth Marett is a New Zealand former cricketer who played as an all-rounder, batting right-handed and bowling right-arm medium. She appeared in 7 Test matches and 14 One Day Internationals for New Zealand between 1972 and 1982. She played domestic cricket for Auckland, Otago and North Shore.
Dartchery was contested at the Summer Paralympic Games from 1960 to 1980. Competitions were carried out in pairs: mixed pairs from 1960 to 1980, and men's pairs and women's pairs from 1972 to 1980.
Paralympics New Zealand (PNZ) is the National Paralympic Committee in New Zealand for the Paralympic Games movement. It oversees the means by which New Zealand participates at the Summer Paralympics and the Winter Paralympics.
New Zealand sent a delegation to compete at the 1972 Summer Paralympics in Heidelberg, West Germany. They sent ten competitors, seven male and three female. The team consisted of Graham Condon, Leo Close, Neroli Fairhall, Graeme Marett, Keith McCormick, Dennis Miller, Tina Morgan, Chris Nicholls, Eve Rimmer, and Jim Savage.
Prayers Be Answered is the second album release and the first studio album by the New Zealand band The Dance Exponents, released in December 1983. The album peaked at #4 and spent 45 weeks on the New Zealand Album charts.
Graeme Robert Ballard is an English Paralympian athlete with cerebral palsy, who competes mainly in category T36 sprint events.
New Zealand sent a 12 sportspeople strong delegation to the 1976 Olympiad for the Physically Disabled in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. At these Games, New Zealand won 13 medals at the 1976 Summer Paralympics: 7 golds, 1 silver, and 5 bronze medals. Eve Rimmer was the most decorated Paralympian at these Games, winning 5 gold medals in athletics.
New Zealand won 17 medals at the 1988 Summer Paralympics: 2 golds, 4 silver and 11 bronze medals.
Power Play is the sixth studio album recorded by Australian-New Zealand group Dragon, released in September 1979. It was the group's first album without their iconic singer Marc Hunter although arguably it was the lack of support from the group's label, rather than a decline in quality of the group's output, that accounted for its poor commercial performance: Power Play peaked at number 64 on the Australian Kent Music Report. It was the group's final studio album for five years; they split up in December 1979. Unlike other Dragon albums from the 1970s, it has not been reissued on CD, except as a bootleg; notwithstanding that Dragon in its current form has been playing for over a decade with Mark Williams as singer, Power Play appears to be regarded as 'non-canon' amongst the group's records.
Graeme Spinks is a New Zealand judoka. He competed at the 1984 Summer Olympics and the 1992 Summer Olympics. Spinks is a martial arts trainer in his birth-city Christchurch. He trained New Zealand Police in the use of force in self-defence, and restraint training, including carotid holds which can render a person unconscious within seconds; this choking method is rarely applied by Police.
Jesse Reynolds is a New Zealand para-swimmer who represented his country at the 2016 Summer Paralympics, the 2018 Commonwealth Games and the 2020 Summer Paralympics. He also competed at the 2013 and 2015 IPC Swimming World Championships.
