order to boost Māori economic development and to stem the loss of Māori to Europeans. These policies were continued by his successors including Gordon Coates and Āpirana Ngata. Under the First Labour Government, the Native Department's priorities shifted to promoting economic equality and employment for the Māori population. Housing and land development continued and both Māori and Pakeha benefited from the government's welfare state policies. In 1947, the Department was renamed the "Department of Maori Affairs" at the initiative of Prime Minister Peter Fraser, who introduced legislation substituting the word 'Native' to 'Māori' government-wide. Between 1906 and 1989, the Department of Māori Affairs' portfolio was expanded to include the office of the Māori Trustee; the provision of housing, vocational training, and relocation; the administration of New Zealand's Pacific Island affairs; safeguarding the welfare of Pacific Islanders living in New Zealand, Māori language revival efforts, and the management of the former Mana Enterprises and Māori ACCESS scheme. By the late 1970s, the Māori Affairs Department had under a thousand permanent staff across several regions. Between 1986 and 1987, the Department was embroiled in the Māori loan affair, which involved the Department attempting to raise overseas funds for Māori development purposes in an unauthorised way. From 1951 to 1976 the Department published Te Ao Hou / The New World magazine. Its issues are now on the Papers Past website, as are those of its successors, Te Kaea (1979-81) and Tū Tangata (1981-87). Ministry of Māori Affairs (Manatū Māori) and the Iwi Transition Agency (Te Tira Ahu Iwi) (1989 to 1991) In response to the Māori loan affair, the Department of Māori Affairs was dissolved in 1989 and replaced by two new agencies: the Ministry of Māori Affairs (Manatū Māori) and the Iwi Transition Agency (Te Tira Ahu Iwi). The Ministry of Māori Affairs was tasked with advising the government on policies of interest to Māori and monitoring the responsiveness of government agencies to issues facing Māori. The Iwi Transition Agency was tasked with helping Māori tribes (or "iwi") to develop new capacities to expand their role in society. Te Puni Kōkiri (1992 to the present) Following the Ka Awatea report published by the Fourth National Government's Māori Affairs Minister Winston Peters, the two agencies were replaced in 1992 by Te Puni Kōkiri (Ministry of Māori Development). Under the terms of the Ka Awatea report, Te Puni Kōkiri was to focus on policy
