But before significant migration from around the world, there were two peoples, Mäori and Päkehä (people of European OF NORTHLAND descent). To learn about New Zealand’s history and to gain an insight into the coming together of Mäori and Päkehä, you need to visit Northland first. Northland is where it all began... LANDING ON THE SHORES More than over a thousand years ago the great discoverer Kupe, on the ocean-going double hulled waka named Matawhaorua or Matahao, arrived and named this place Aotearoa. Kupe and his crew had travelled thousands of miles across the Pacific Ocean guided by the stars, the sun and the moon, the currents, clouds, the wind and the birds. Today, many iwi trace their ancestry back to Kupe and some of the oldest traces of Mäori settlement, or kainga, can be found in Northland. Kupe returned to his homeland from Hokianga to inform his people of his discovery and so began many migrations. THE ARRIVAL OF EUROPEANS In the late eighteenth century Europeans arrived, initially on voyages of exploration, followed by traders, whalers and sealers. News of the temperate climate, the fertile land and the potential of kauri logging and kauri gum filtered back to the homelands - a big motivation for the migration which followed. Most of the region’s European population today is of British descent; many other ethnicities live in Northland including He aha te mea nui o te ao? the Croatian community from the Dargaville area north, with What is the most important thing in the world? a particularly strong heritage around Kaitäia. Waipü, a small He tangata, he tangata, he tangata town in Bream Bay, has a strong Scottish heritage and hosts It is people, it is people, it is people one of the country’s most successful Highland Games, held — Mäori proverb annually on New Year’s Day. More than 150,000 people now call this region home. Together, we are the Peoples of Northland. northlandnz.com CULTURE & HERITAGE | 5 CULTURE & HERITAGE Mäori language, culture, stories and traditions are strong TREASURE in Northland and you will see evidence of this throughout the region. Whether in an intricate bone or pounamu to discover (greenstone) carving, Mäori pou (carved wooden posts), HISTORY visual shows, museums, historic sites, waka trips or to encounter guided forest walks, our history is everywhere. Daily from 10am Closed 25 Dec In Whangärei immerse yourself in Mäori culture in a unique visitor 2 York St, Russell experience that offers a fascinating insight into the rich history of russellmuseum.org.nz the indigenous people of New Zealand. The Bay of Islands, known for its beauty and climate, is one of New Zealand’s most significant historic areas and the scene of early contact and conflict between the Mäori people and European Est 1819 settlers, who began arriving in the late 18th century.

    ~ 1 ~ KAIHU THE DISTRICT NORTH RIPIRO WEST COAST SOUTH HOKIANGA HISTORY AND LEGEND REFERENCE JOURNAL FOUR EARLY CHARACTERS PART ONE 1700-1900 THOSE WHO STAYED AND THOSE WHO PASSED THROUGH Much has been written by past historians about the past and current commercial aspects of the Kaipara, Kaihu Valley and the Hokianga districts based mostly about the mighty Kauri tree for its timber and gum but it would appear there has not been a lot recorded about the “Characters” who made up these districts.

  • Schedule of Cruising Boat Destinations in Northland –Version 2 With
    Schedule of cruising boat destinations In Northland –Version 2 with council amendments © Prepared by Richard Brown on behalf of Auckland Yacht and Boating Association – September 2014 Amendments by Michael Payne –Policy Analyst, Ross Waters – Maritime Officer and Peter Thomas - Marine Officer Auckland Yacht and Boating Association would like to acknowledge the following sources of information Royal Akarana Yacht Club Coastal Cruising handbook Hauraki Gulf Boaties Atlas Lynn and Graeme Brown (Adamite) Pickmere Atlas of Northland’s East Coast Google Earth Doug Smeale Derry Godbert Port Opua – A Cruisers guide Notes for database of Northlands East Coast Bays Because of the very high number of bays on this coastline we have included only those which are potential anchorages. Consequently there are relatively few graded 1. Many bays are exposed to the Ocean and are thus generally unsuitable as overnight anchorages. They may however still be popular daytime anchorages with boats returning to more sheltered waters over night. Several bays have more than one name. Where we have identified them the extra names have been included but there are probably several bays whose alternative names have not been included. Every bay has been given a grading 1-3. These classifications are as follows-: 1 = Infrequently used as an anchorage either because of poor shelter, overcrowding moorings or better anchorages nearby. 2 = Popular anchorage – this could vary from a few boats in a small bay to many boats in a larger one. 3 = Strategic anchorage in that it is heavily relied on during bad weather – usually also popular in times of lighter winds of appropriate direction 3*= Strategic anchorage in that it is heavily relied on during bad weather but particularly popular as an anchorage.

  • Auckland Regional Office of Archives New Zealand
    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.
