These assertions were never clearcut, as no-one on the European side ever appears to have clearly articulated to Maori what the implications of English law about I tidal areas and riparian rights might be. In addition, Maori were in a situation where they welcomed European uses of the river from which they could draw benefit, such as the I building of bridges, reclamations and steamers. I The Whanganui people, or at least those on the lower reaches of the river, appear at first to have been enthusiastic about the proposal to run a private steamer service. Their I attempts to engage in gold prospecting have already been noted, now they hoped to convert their canoe transport business to the new technology. The "Upriver Committee", I a group of Wanganui business notables spearheading the private steamer venture, were I delighted to note in January 1885 that: ~ The Maoris had discussed the question of getting a steamer ... and when Mr I Ballance was there they eagerly asked when the steamer was to be placed on the river, offering to take shares if a company was formed. .. The natives said that I when the boat was on the river they would bum their canoes. They said it did not I pay to bring small quantities of goods to town in their canoes. 237 I Obviously more was said at the meeting than the printed government record revealed. A;::..

(a) Section 24 Block I - Pipiriki Township. This land was originally surveyed in the early 1990’s as a European Cemetery and at that time had three marked graves on it. Since then no further European burials have been made in Pipiriki and it is considered that the parcel of land set aside for a cemetery reserve is extremely excessive especially when compared with similar Maori burial sites in Pipiriki. (b) Sections 1, 2, 3 Block IX - Pipiriki Township. This land was designated a Crown Reserve in 1988 without reference to any persons or organisations as Owners of such land. In both cases the PROPRIETORS OF PIPIRIKI TOWNSHIP NO. 1 AND OTHER BLOCKS INC. is the correct claimant of such land being the body in whom freehold title of Pipiriki Township is vested. This claim is made under the auspices of the Whare Ranana Trust who are administering all such claims in the Pipiriki area presently with the Waitangi Tribunal.

    C H a P T E R XXI AFTER an Early Start Next Morning, We Reached A

    CHAPTER XXI THE WHANGANUI AND THE KING COUNTRY (continued). AFTER an early start next morning, we reached a rapid called Tarepokiore, which is by far the worst on the Whanganui river. It is formed by a large landslip which fell right into the river, diminishing it to less than half its proper size. We got out of the canoes, and took out our luggage in case of an upset, and carried it over the landslip to quiet water. Then the natives stripped, and set to work to drag the canoe up. Patu, our herculean helmsman, calmly smoking a pipe, then got into the canoe and was pushed out into the breakers, a long and strong tow-rope having been fastened to the bow of the canoe. After half a huge tree that was lying in the water had been sawn off to make room for the tow-rope, the rough water was passed, but there was a fall of about two feet to get the canoe over, the water running about seven or eight miles 266 ROUND ABOUT NEW ZEALAND. an hour. All hands hung on to the tow-rope, for on it depended the safety of the canoe; had the bow turned ever so little broadside to the waves all our strength would not have saved it, but, with Patu's help, we managed to keep her head straight and pull her through, though it took over an hour to make twenty yards. The natives called the land all the bad names they could think of for tumbling down, as before the slip it was quite an easy reach.

    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.

I was born and bred at Taritariwhioi, Kaiwhaiki Pa on the lower reaches of the Whanganui River in a small, close-knit community of about 200 people. There were five in our family, four girls and one boy. My mother was Raina Kahukura, a warm, handsome woman who was steeped in the knowledge of our old people and their ways and was a great singer and performer. Mum was also a great orator and a keen compeEtor at the Hui Aranga. For many years she competed in the Senior Oratory and achieved a lot of success. My father was Te Kohiroa Tawaroa Tetana a hardworking man who spent hours in the garden, planEng, weeding and producing acres of kai, Maori potato, Maori corn, kamokamo, kumara and pumpkin. One of my earliest memories is of planEng rows and rows of corn alongside him. In 1965 at the age of 20, I joined the Congregaon of the Sisters of St Joseph of Nazareth. I had a strong Catholic upbringing and mum was a devout churchgoer. Our family recited the Rosary most nights and we aended Mass on Sundays. I received catechism lessons from Father Cook who came to Upokongaro School every Friday from St Mary’s parish. He would bring his tuning fork because he loved to hear us sing. His favourite hymn was Mo Maria.
