    A supplementary finding-aid to the archives relating to Maori Schools held in the Auckland Regional Office of Archives New Zealand MAORI SCHOOL RECORDS, 1879-1969 Archives New Zealand Auckland holds records relating to approximately 449 Maori Schools, which were transferred by the Department of Education. These schools cover the whole of New Zealand. In 1969 the Maori Schools were integrated into the State System. Since then some of the former Maori schools have transferred their records to Archives New Zealand Auckland. Building and Site Files (series 1001) For most schools we hold a Building and Site file. These usually give information on: • the acquisition of land, specifications for the school or teacher’s residence, sometimes a plan. • letters and petitions to the Education Department requesting a school, providing lists of families’ names and ages of children in the local community who would attend a school. (Sometimes the school was never built, or it was some years before the Department agreed to the establishment of a school in the area). The files may also contain other information such as: • initial Inspector’s reports on the pupils and the teacher, and standard of buildings and grounds; • correspondence from the teachers, Education Department and members of the school committee or community; • pre-1920 lists of students’ names may be included. There are no Building and Site files for Church/private Maori schools as those organisations usually erected, paid for and maintained the buildings themselves. Admission Registers (series 1004) provide details such as: - Name of pupil - Date enrolled - Date of birth - Name of parent or guardian - Address - Previous school attended - Years/classes attended - Last date of attendance - Next school or destination Attendance Returns (series 1001 and 1006) provide: - Name of pupil - Age in years and months - Sometimes number of days attended at time of Return Log Books (series 1003) Written by the Head Teacher/Sole Teacher this daily diary includes important events and various activities held at the school.

    Whakatane Waimana Floodplain Management Strategy - Stage 1 Review of the Current Flood Hazard from the Whakatane and Waimana Rivers and Existing Responses

    Whakatane Waimana Floodplain Management Strategy - Stage 1 Review of the current flood hazard from the Whakatane and Waimana Rivers and existing responses Prepared by Robbin Britton, Project Engineer Environment Bay of Plenty Operations Publication 2008/09 June 2008 (updated from January 2007) 5 Quay Street P O Box 364 Whakatane NEW ZEALAND ISSN 1176 - 5550 Working with our communities for a better environment E mahi ngatahi e pai ake ai te taiao Environment Bay of Plenty i Foreword Concern for the security of the Whakatane and Waimana floodplains is the reason behind Environment Bay of Plenty’s preparation of a floodplain management strategy. This floodplain management strategy reviews what the flood hazards are in the floodplains, what flood protection is provided to people and property living on the floodplains and what, if any, additional protection needs to be provided. Floodplain management strategies are not the same as Civil Defence Emergency Management (CDEM) Plans. Under the Civil Defence Emergency Act 2002 each regional and local council must prepare plans detailing how they will manage catastrophic events such as volcanic eruptions, tsunami storms, earthquakes and fires. Construction of flood defences began in the catchment in 1965 and this was complete by the early 1980’s. Since that period components of the flood defence system have been reviewed but not all together. This floodplain management strategy reviews the flood protection system for the Whakatane Waimana catchment only. It identifies potential weaknesses in flood protection and plans for the ongoing security of future generations. The executive summary provides an overview of the report. Part one describes the nature of the floodplain, and the measures put in place to best manage floods of date.

    BYRON RANGIWAI Māori Prophetic Movements as Sites of Political Resistance: A Critical Analysis Introduction This article will argue that Māori prophetic movements were sites of political resistance where Māori prophets resisted colonisation and developed syncretic theologies that gave their followers a sense of hope within a tumultuous colonial environment. The movements of four Māori prophets will be discussed in chronological order: Te Atua Wera and the Nākahi movement; Te Ua Haumēne and the Pai Mārire or Hauhau movement; Te Kooti’s Ringatū movement; and Rua Kēnana and the Iharaira movement. This article will critically analyse these Māori prophetic movements as sites of religious and political resistance to show how Māori prophets challenged colonisation and land loss. Christianity in Aotearoa New Zealand and the rise of Māori Prophets Before their conversion to Christianity, Māori had their own Indigenous spirituality that reflected their cultural and spiritual relationships with the environment. Pākehā contact impacted on Māori irreversibly. According to Len Te Kaawa of Tamakaimoana: Te ao o ngā mātua, o ngā tīpuna, he whakapono tō rātou, he whakapono iho nei i mua i te taehanga mai o tauiwi.

  • Te Mana Tuatoru: the ROHE POTAE of TUHOE

    Te Mana Tuatoru: the ROHE POTAE of TUHOE

    Te Mana Tuatoru: THE ROHE POTAE OF TUHOE IN THE HEART of the North Island of Aotearoa/New Zealand there is an imagined realm: the tribal land of Tuhoe, protected by their encircling bounda- ries, the Rohe Potae.1 This was the visible circumference of their independent mana. From the later nineteenth century, Tuhoe history is, in essence, a history of their chiefly leaders' efforts to uphold their autonomous control over these lands. This essay argues that Tuhoe's authority rested not only in their own perceptions and desires but was upheld by a compact they made with the government in 1871. The very legislation which seemed later to confirm this compact, the Urewera District Native Reserve Act of 1896, would, however, become the means by which successive governments devoured Tuhoe's land. The imagined reality became shards in Tuhoe's hands. By 1871, the last phase of the campaign to recapture Te Kooti Arikirangi Te Turuki was concentrated within Tuhoe's territory. It was believed that Tuhoe were giving him sanctuary. A scorched earth campaign in the Urewera was set in motion, while the Native Minister, Donald McLean, demanded the submis- sion and removal of the leaders of Tuhoe. The chiefs were instructed to come to the coast, and to live temporarily on reserves under the watchful eyes of the Kawanatanga (Government-allied) Maori leaders. Those who submitted so as to save their villages, cultivations and people were required to give assistance in the hunt for Te Kooti. By November, the focus was centred on Ngati Huri, living at Maungapohatu, under the sacred mountain of Tuhoe.
  • Songlines from Aotearoa*

    Songlines from Aotearoa*

    New Zealand Journal of History, 38, 2 (2004) Songlines from Aotearoa* IN LATE TWENTIETH-CENTURY AOTEAROA New Zealand, Maori are actively renegotiating their relationship to and roles within the modern state. The political dialogue is about sharing the substance of power and resources. The past is in sharp focus, particularly as the Treaty of Waitangi Tribunal, reconstructed in 1985 to examine grievances stemming from the Crown’s actions and its failures in its fiduciary obligations towards Maori since 1840, is investigating many Maori land claims. But Maori use of the past is not just to rekindle a history of grievances and dispossession. Maori history is a living presence, and while Maori society is now a literate one, history is still remembered and told in the oral, marae environment that has survived colonization: the complex of meeting-house and open assembly space, which belong to whanau (families), hapu (local tribes) and iwi (ancestral tribal groups) across the land. In the ritual of formal encounter on the marae atea (the open space before the meeting-house) and within the sheltering walls of the house itself, history is sung, enacted and narrated. Maori history is not only woven as a means of explaining the present. The living, multiple interpretations of past events give birth to new actions. The telling of history sets in motion, and will continue to set in motion, new histories, for Maori leaders act according to the understandings worked into narratives, songs and predictions. These oral forms of recalling and shaping history may also be transmitted through manuscript texts in a manner that is not dissimilar to the circulation of early biblical narratives.

    Maungapohatu Revisited OR, HOW the GOVERNMENT UNDERDEVELOPED a MAORI COMMUNITY

    New Zealand Journal of History, 38, 2 (2004) Maungapohatu Revisited OR, HOW THE GOVERNMENT UNDERDEVELOPED A MAORI COMMUNITY EARLY THIS CENTURY, segments of the Tuhoe and Whakatohea tribes, under the leadership of the Tuhoe prophet Rua Kenana Hepetipa, built themselves a new community. It lay at the foot of the sacred mountain of the Tuhoe, Maungapohatu, and was a conscious recreation by them of the biblical city of Jerusalem. Constructed during 1907–1908, it was an impressive settlement with its own courthouse, bank, and council room [Figures 1 and 2]. The streets were lit with oil lamps and it had its own water system, with separated pools for washing and cooking. The families set up their own rules of conduct, which were enforced through a council of elders and their prophet leader. In these first years, about 500 or 600 people lived at Maungapohatu.1 Figure 1: Maungapohatu, Christmas 1908. The large double-gabled house, built of sawn timber, which stood in the upper part of the pa, was Rua’s. It was called Hiruharama Hou, New Jerusalem. The circular building near the bottom of the slope was the courthouse and meeting house. It was build of sawn totara, and was called Hiona, Zion. The wooden houses inside the enclosed wahi tapu have replaced the earlier tent homes, and the fence has been rebuilt since the foundation of the settlement. Two formal entrance gates are visible.

Te Toi Poto, Te Toi Roa A Critical Evaluation of Māori -State Inclusion in the Ohiwa Harbour Strategy, Aotearoa New Zealand. A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Social Sciences at The University of Waikato by Amanda Lowry 2012 i ABSTRACT In New Zealand, the State Owned Enterprises Act 1988 [SOE], Local Government Act 2002 [LGA], the Resource Management Act 1991 [R MA] require that government include the voices of Māori, and ensure their contribution to the decision-making processes of local authorities. Accordingly, central and local government have embraced the idea of inclusive partnership as part of policymaking processes informed by shared values both of government and iwi. Thus, it is not uncommon to see consultations, partnerships and engagement between M āori-state on a range of issues in line with Tikanga and protocols of Māori culture.
