Resumo: This essay examines how sport, State education and physical education have contributed to the suppression of the indigenous New Zealand Maori by promulgating their stereotype as a physical and unintelligent people. It begins by providing an historical genealogy of the savage physical Maori stereotype. Next, this stereotype is shown to have justified a racist education system that channelled Maori into manual, as opposed to academic, areas. Later, Maori culture and Maori successes were afforded inclusion only within non-threatening domains such as physical education and sport. The ramifications of physical education becoming the first subject area to offer overtures to Maori, are examined. Lastly, I suggest that the naturalization of Maori as sportspeople contributed to the colonization process by assimilating Maori in an area that highlighted their supposed inherent physicality. Keywords: Sport. New Zealand. Indigenous. History.

El artículo comienza haciendo una genealogía histórica del estereotipo físico y salvaje Maorí. Entonces, este estereotipo se usa para justificar un sistema educativo racista, que canaliza los Maorí para las actividades manuales, a diferencia de las áreas académicas. Más tarde, en la cultura Maorí se ofrecen sólo áreas que poco peligrosas para tales estereotipos, tales como la educación física y el deporte. Las ramificaciones de la educación física se convirtió en el primero de los conocimientos a ofrecer puestos a los Maorí. Por último, sugiero que la naturalización de los atletas Maorí contribuye al proceso de su asimilación en una zona que destaca su físico supuestamente inherente.Palabras clave: Deporte.

Historia.Este trabalho examina como o esporte, a educação pública e a educação física têm contribuído para a supressão dos indígenas maori da Nova Zelândia pela promoção de estereótipos desse povo como seres físicos e pouco inteligentes. O artigo começapor fornecer uma genealogia histórica do estereótipo físico e selvagem maori. Em seguida, apresentase como este estereótipo é usado para justificar um sistema de educação racista que canalizou os maori a atividades manuais, em oposição a áreas acadêmicas. Mais tarde, foi oferecida inclusão à cultura maori somente dentro de domínios não ameaçadores, como a educação física e os desportos. As ramificações da Educação Física se tornaram a primeira a oferecer aberturas aos maori. Finalmente, eu sugiro que a naturalização dos maori como esportistas contribui para o processo de assimilação maori numa área que destaca sua supostamente inerentefisicalidade.Palavraschave: Esporte.
