The Native Land Court in Te Paparahi O Te Raki: 1865–1900 Wai 1040, #A68 The Native Land Court in Te Paparahi o Te Raki: 1865–1900 Paul Thomas October 2016 A report commissioned by the Waitangi Tribunal for the Te Paparahi o Te Raki inquiry (Wai 1040) The Author My name is Paul Thomas. I graduated with a first class honours degree in history from Otago University in 1990. I worked as a researcher and writer for the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography until 1993. From 1995, I was employed by the Crown Forestry Rental Trust as a historian. Since 1999, I have worked as a contract historian on Treaty of Waitangi issues, writing and advising on many different areas. My report, 'The Crown and Maori in the Northern Wairoa, 1840–1865', was submitted to the Waitangi Tribunal's inquiry into the Kaipara district. My report, 'The Crown and Maori in Mokau, 1840–1911', was submitted to the Te Rohe Potae inquiry. Acknowledgements I am grateful to Leanne Boulton of the Waitangi Tribunal for overseeing this report. Ms Boulton produced its tables, graphs and statistical research although I am the report's sole author and have final responsibility for all parts of it. Ms Boulton explains the methodology used for these statistics in appendix B. I also thank Dr James Mitchell and Dr Barry Rigby of the Waitangi Tribunal for their assistance, as well as Tribunal mapping officer Noel Harris. Philip Cleaver reviewed a draft of the report while Philippa Wyatt provided valuable historical advice and Lauren Zamalis carried out much- appreciated copy-editing. Although the errors and shortcomings of this report are mine alone, I would like to acknowledge the many historians and writers who have produced reports to this inquiry dealing with the Native Land Court. This overview is built on their work. ii Contents The Author ................................................................................................................................................... ii Acknowledgements ................................................................................................................................... ii Introduction ...................................................................................................................................... 2 Report Scope, Methodology, and Limitations ................................................................................. 5 Background to the Commissioning of this Report ........................................................................ 8 The Commission ......................................................................................................................................... 8 Tribunal Statement of Issues ................................................................................................................ 9 The Crown’s Position on the Native Land Court to 1900 ......................................................... 11 Individualisation of Title Undermined Tribal Structures .................................................... 11 Ten-owner rule .................................................................................................................................... 12 Lack of Collective Title ...................................................................................................................... 12 Chapter One: The Court comes to Te Raki, 1865–1874 ................................................... 13 1.1.

  • 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.
