This article argues that growing confidence in anthropology as a tool for managing the adaptation of a resurgent M ori population to modernity shaped a politics of knowledge regarding New Zealand's indigenous people in the mid-twentieth century. We examine the relationship between anthropological discourse, state policy, and the M ori struggle to uphold traditional ways, through the prism of Ernest and Pearl Beaglehole's psycho-ethnographic study entitled Some Modern M oris (Beaglehole, E., and P. Beaglehole. 1946. Some Modern M oris. Wellington: New Zealand Council for Educational Research). This paper demonstrates that the study was the product of a nexus between concerns for M ori welfare, a perceived need for empirical research that could be applied to the problem of indigenous adjustment to contemporary conditions, and American philanthropy. For this reason, and as a detailed record of a small community when M ori society was on the cusp of post-Second World War transformations, we contend that the study deserves to be recovered from historical obscurity.
