This report covers the period July 2001 to December 2004. An activity involving the disturbance of the bed of a river is controlled by section 13 of the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA) and therefore requires consent. However, gravel extraction is normally undertaken away from waters edge so as to avoid any sediment contamination of the watercourse. In the Bay of Plenty region, the areas of high gravel concentrations are in the eastern Bay of Plenty rivers. In fact all of the resource consents for gravel extraction are for rivers located within the eastern Bay of Plenty. Individuals and companies who require large volumes of gravel for construction works and building foundations hold resource consents for such activities. Environment Bay of Plenty’s Operations and Rural Services Department also hold resource consents which enable them to remove gravel to prevent erosion and the exacerbation of flooding caused by build-up of the riverbed.

Three Maori theoretical approaches underpin the thesis: Kaupapa Maori; Mana Wahine, Maori Feminism; and Aitanga. Kaupapa Maori takes for granted being Maori; Maori language, te reo Maori; and tikanga, Maori cultural practices. Whakapapa, Maori descent lines and Pakeha genealogy connect with Maori/Pakeha identity. Mana Wahine, Maori Feminism, is about how Maori women live their lives and view their worlds. Aitanga relates to the distribution of power and Maori as active participants in social relationships. Eight decades of problematic, complex, multi-layered, multi-sited, multi-faceted life experiences of one Maori woman teacher are explored.
