By descent I am a member of the Te Roroa tribe which customarily holds mana whenua over the coastal strip from Hokianga South Head (Arai-te-uru) to the Northern Wairoa river and over land on both banks of that river. Historically, Te Roroa has stood alone and from time to time affiliated to each of the Nga Puhi and Ngati Whatua tribal confederations. I currently act as secretary for Te Roroa and claim manager ofWAI 38. My earlier background was in the fields of investments and trusts. Although I hold no formal qualifications in History, I have studied the oral histories, place names and whakapapa ofTai Tokerau for 30 years. Particularly, I have written for The Dictionary of New Zealand Biography, collaborated with the later A.W. Reed in his book Supplement to Place Names of New Zealand and undertaken Northern Wairoa research work for the Office of Treaty Settlements. In the Te Roroa claim WAI 38, where I was a claimant researcher and witness, I was acknowledged by the tribunal as Te Roroa's tribal historian. This report is a response to directions of the Waitangi Tribunal for me to complete a historical report encompassing: (a) A general Te Roroa perspective on Kaipara Maori traditional history and tribal relationships. (b) ATe Roroa response to evidence submitted in the tribunal's current Kaipara inquiry affecting Te Roroa customary and historic interests. (c) An analysis ofTe Roroa's customary interests at Te Kopuru/Aratapu and Tokatoka, and any relevant actions or inaction's of the Crown in respect thereto. Although touching on other 19th century areas by way of explanatory background, this report focuses on relationships between Maori and the Crown and amongst Maori themselves in the Northern Wairoa or North Kaipara region. For the purposes of this report, that region is defined as the 3 Northern Wairoa catchment from Tangiteroria to Pouto, but excluding the Kaihu and Mangakahia valleys which customarily were regarded as separate areas. As remarked upon by Wright 1996:61, from Pouto northwards customarily was known as the Wairoa, rather than the Kaipara, region. With local body reorganisation the place name Kaipara - which originally applied to the area around Helensville - was extended into the Northern Wairoa district. This report is divided into six sections viz: 1. Maori origins and traditional history. 2. Modern tribes of the Northern Wairoa district. 3. Te Kopuru/Aratapu block. 4. Tikinui block. 5. Pouto 2 block. 6. Tokatoka and Whakahara blocks. It is accompanied by a whakapapa (Appendix 1) of the Ngati Whiu and Ngati Kawa hapus ofTe Roroa whose oral history is so bound up with the region. The first section of this report briefly looks at the earliest known inhabitants of the Northern Wairoa and Hokianga districts i.e. the Ngai Tuputupuwhenua people and their successors Ngati Rangi. It is followed by an examination of traditional evidence relating to a probable mid 16th century land migration by tupuna of modern Kaipara tribes from Muriwhenua through Hokianga, Waipoua/Maunganui and Kaihu to South Kaipara - and the evolution of those tribes. That evidence, which indicates continuing processes of fusion and fission amongst the tribes, is fundamentally different to Pakeha concepts of groups such as Ngati Whatua tuturu as a static, monolithic entity, which has endured, unchanged for centuries. In the second section I attempt to provide an introduction to the origins, areas of influence and inter-tribal relationships of the modern Northern Wairoa tribes. In so doing, I not only have had recourse to mid 19th century descriptions by tupuna as to the groups they recognised as tribes, but have 4 accepted those descriptions when whakapapa clearly indicates that members of those groups do not constitute a single genealogical descent ramage from an eponymous tupuna. On that basis I have had no difficulty in accepting groups such as Te Uri 0 Hau - comprising Te Uri 0 Hau tuturu (descended ( from Hakiputatomuri), Ngai Tahu (a remnant of Ngai Tahuhu descended from Tahuhu-nui-o-rangi), Ngati Kura (descended from Kuramangotini of Ngati Awa) , Ngati Tahinga (from the Raglan tupuna Tahinga) and others - as an iwi. In simple terms, my approach has been that if a group does not constitute a single genealogical descent ramage (e.g. whanau or hapu), it must be a tribe (iwi). Although the second section relies upon a synthesis of evidence from various tribal sources, it does not pretend to be an exhaustive study of 19th century inter-tribal relationships, of which, no doubt, other witnesses will present evidence to this tribunal. In fact, all I have endeavoured to do is to provide snapshots of relationships at particular points of time. The third section addresses the oral history of the Ngati Whiu and Ngati Kawa hapus ofTe Roroa respecting Te Kopuru block, the block's subsequent ( confiscation by the Crown and the history of later Ngati Whiu and Ngati Kawa protest. Despite exhaustive research, I have unearthed no documentary evidence as to a Te Uri 0 Hau customary interest in the land. Neither, prior to 1917, have I discovered any evidence of Te Uri 0 Hau protest over the loss of Te Kopuru block. My evidence and accompanying whakapapa (for which see Appendix 1 hereof) do not support Mr. Stirling's view, as earlier given in evidence to this tribunal, that Te Uri 0 Hau held mana whenua to Te Kopuru block. The fourth section deals with the role of the Native Land Court, as a Crown agent, in defeating Ngati Whiu/Ngati Kawa customary interests in Tikinui block and in failing to protect Maori heritage e.g. the urupa Te Kuri 2 block, which was part of the original Tikinui block. ( 5 In the fifth section I focus upon evidence as to whether the Land Court hearing into relative beneficial interests of Pouto 2 block - which awarded non-resident owners such as Tiopira Kinaki of Te Roroa significantly reduced shareholdings, was a fair hearing. The sixth, and final, section examines the Whakahara and Tokatoka block purchases by the Crown, adequacy of consideration, the absence of provision for reserves and the protection of cultural heritage and the failure of the Crown to facilitate rights of repurchase as requested by Maori, including Te Roroa. In an endeavour to present a comprehensive account of the complexities and interlocking nature of both transactions, it unfortunately has not been possible to avoid traversing certain evidence already provided by other witnesses. This reports needs to be considered against the background provided by the research of Barry Rigby, Paul Hamer & Rose Daamen "Rangahaua Whanui District 1 Auckland" Report (1996); David Armstrong "Te Uri 0 Hau and the Crown 1860-1960' (WAI 271 A2); Bruce Stirling "The Lands ofTe Uri 0 Hau Te Wahapu 0 Kaipara" (WAI 271 A3-A5), Tony Walzl "Land Issues Within ( o the Otamatea Area 1839-1950" (WAI 674 A21); Moira Jackson "Desecration of Taonga by Andrea Reischek" (WA1674 A8) and Paul Thomas "The Crown and Maori in the Northern Wairoa 1840-1865" (1999) - all of which I have found to be most helpful. I acknowledge, with thanks and gratitude, commentary by Dr. Barry Rigby on an earlier draft of this document and the latitude afforded me in terms of its completion. Although this report has been discussed with kaumatua and kuia, responsibility for its contents - and any errors of fact and interpretation - remains solely with the author.

This man came from the interior of the earth. He was not of this world." 1 The autochthons Tuputupuwhenua, alias Tumutumuwhenua (literally, a sprout from the land) and his wife Hinekui undoubtedly are the earliest known ancestors associated with the Kaipara and Hokianga districts. The pair, whose descendants variously were referred to as Ngai Tuputupuwhenua or Te Tini 0 Kui or Te Kekehu are widely known throughout Polynesia and consequently probably need to be recognised as personifications of early forgotten tupuna rather than as actual people. 2 Known to both the Ngati Whatuaand Nga Puhi tribal confederations, ( Tuputupuwhenua is particularly associated with the Hokianga district during the lifetime of the tupuna Kupe. According to Aperahama Taonui, "Kupe was the man who arrived in this land. He came to seek Tuputupuwhenua.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Traditional Knowledge Systems and Crops: Case Studies on the Introduction of Kūmara (Ipomoea batatas) and Taewa Māori (Solanum tuberosum) to Aotearoa/New Zealand A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Master of AgriScience in Horticultural Science at Massey University, Manawatū, New Zealand Rodrigo Estrada de la Cerda 2015 Kūmara and Taewa Māori, Ōhakea, New Zealand i Abstract Kūmara (Ipomoea batatas) and taewa Māori, or Māori potato (Solanum tuberosum), are arguably the most important Māori traditional crops. Over many centuries, Māori have developed a very intimate relationship to kūmara, and later with taewa, in order to ensure the survival of their people. There are extensive examples of traditional knowledge aligned to kūmara and taewa that strengthen the relationship to the people and acknowledge that relationship as central to the human and crop dispersal from different locations, eventually to Aotearoa / New Zealand. This project looked at the diverse knowledge systems that exist relative to the relationship of Māori to these two food crops; kūmara and taewa. A mixed methodology was applied and information gained from diverse sources including scientific publications, literature in Spanish and English, and Andean, Pacific and Māori traditional knowledge. The evidence on the introduction of kūmara to Aotearoa/New Zealand by Māori is indisputable. Mātauranga Māori confirms the association of kūmara as important cargo for the tribes involved, even detailing the purpose for some of the voyages.

    “ ... AND DID SHE CRY IN MĀORI?” RECOVERING, REASSEMBLING AND RESTORYING TAINUI ANCESTRESSES IN AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND Diane Gordon-Burns Tainui Waka—Waikato Iwi A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History The University of Canterbury 2014 Preface Waikato taniwha rau, he piko he taniwha he piko he taniwha Waikato River, the ancestral river of Waikato iwi, imbued with its own mauri and life force through its sheer length and breadth, signifies the strength and power of Tainui people. The above proverb establishes the rights and authority of Tainui iwi to its history and future. Translated as “Waikato of a hundred chiefs, at every bend a chief, at every bend a chief”, it tells of the magnitude of the significant peoples on every bend of its great banks.1 Many of those peoples include Tainui women whose stories of leadership, strength, status and connection with the Waikato River have been diminished or written out of the histories that we currently hold of Tainui. Instead, Tainui men have often been valorised and their roles inflated at the expense of Tainui women, who have been politically, socially, sexually, and economically downplayed. In this study therefore I honour the traditional oral knowledges of a small selection of our tīpuna whaea. I make connections with Tainui born women and those women who married into Tainui. The recognition of traditional oral knowledges is important because without those histories, remembrances and reconnections of our pasts, the strengths and identities which are Tainui women will be lost. Stereotypical male narrative has enforced a female passivity where women’s strengths and importance have become lesser known.

The Far North District Council’s response was to offer the community the opportunity of creating a Community Development Plan which included the concepts of catchment integration and sustainable management. A Community Development Plan is a document created by a community. It is an expression of the community’s vision and aspirations for their land, waters and people for the medium-term future. As such, it firstly has to seek those visions and aspirations. In the case of this plan, that work took place in a series of public meetings held through 2009.

  • Māori Spaces in Foreign Places: the Case of Hinemihi O Te Āo Tawhito
    MAI Review, 2007, 3, Doctoral Conference Abstracts Māori spaces in foreign places: The case of Hinemihi o te āo tawhito Keri Wikitera Tuhourangi/Ngāti Wahiao Auckland University of Technology Auckland, New Zealand [email protected] This study is in the preliminary stages of a PhD candidature. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate Māori economic development opportunities in tourism. Many of which are intrinsically linked to cultural identity (Te Awekotuku, 1981; Ryan, 2002). This study aims to demonstrate that Māori notions of cultural identity are not confined to connections to geographical place alone. Cultural identity are socially created spaces dependent on relationships of people to each other and to iconic cultural references existent in both physical and metaphysical representation. The study will examine the history of Hinemihi, a whare tipuna that was situated at Te Wairoa, Tarawera until the eruption of 1886. She was built in response to the burgeoning tourism trade and she is now situated at Clandon Park, London. Clandon Park is a quintessential English estate, now also a tourist destination. Embedded in her history are significant periods of change for Māori. The study will investigate her relationships with Tuhourangi and Ngāti Hinemihi in her early years through to her relationship with Ngāti Ranana now. Also how she has linked people through whakapapa and now contemporary notions of identity. Māori spaces created in foreign places will be considered drawing on perspectives of people who, through Hinemihi,

WHAKATANGATA KIA KAHA: TOITŪ TE WHAKAPAPA, TOITŪ TE TUAKIRI, TOITŪ TE MANA – AN EXAMINATION OF THE CONTRIBUTION OF TE AUTE COLLEGE TO MĀORI ADVANCEMENT. A THESIS PRESENTED IN FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN EDUCATION AT MASSEY UNIVERSITY, PALMERSTON NORTH, NEW ZEALAND. JAMES PHILIP HECTOR GRAHAM 2009 i ABSTRACT The thesis examines the contribution of Te Aute College to Māori advancement by exploring the whakapapa of Te Aute College and the brand that has developed out of the school’s whakapapa from its beginnings in 1854 prior to major European settlement in the Hawkes Bay through to the 21st century. In doing so, the notion of whakapapa is used to reveal the layers of tradition, history, connections, narratives, achievements and setbacks that have enabled the realisation of Māori potential and the ability of Te Aute College to sustain a contribution to the advancement of Māori. This thesis contends that the contribution of Te Aute College to Māori advancement stems from its whakapapa and its brand that is unequivocally Te Aute in focus and character. An Indigenous Māori research paradigm, a whakapapa research methodology, provides the context for researching Te Aute College, the basis of this thesis. The thesis also explores whakapapa as a tool that can be used as a legitimate research framework when engaging in Māori research.

  • Field Studies of Estuarine Turbidity Under Different Freshwater Flow Conditions, Kaipara River, New Zealand
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Portsmouth University Research Portal (Pure) Field studies of estuarine turbidity under different freshwater flow conditions, Kaipara River, New Zealand Steven B Mitchell1, Malcolm O Green2, Iain T MacDonald2, Mark Pritchard2 1School of Civil Engineering and Surveying, University of Portsmouth, PO1 3AH, UK 2National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA), Hamilton, New Zealand Abstract We present a first interpretation of three days of measurements made in 2013 from the tidal reaches of the Kaipara River (New Zealand) under both low and high freshwater inputs and a neap tidal cycle. During the first day, we occupied two stations that were approximately 6 km apart in a tidal reach that runs for 25 km from the river mouth to the upstream limit of tidal influence. During the second day, longitudinal surveys were conducted over a distance of 6 km centred on the upstream station. The data reveal a turbidity maximum in the form of a high-concentration ‘plug’ of suspended mud that was advected downstream on the ebbing tide past the upper (HB) measurement station and which exchanged sediment with the seabed by settling at low slack water and by resuspension in the early flooding tide. The data suggest that fine sediment is transported landwards and trapped in the upper part of the tidal reach under these low-flow conditions. On the third day of measurements we repeated the experiments of the first day but later in the year, for a much higher freshwater flow.
