A brief history of the Chatham Islands The Chatham Islands were settled over 800 years ago by the Polynesian ancestors of the Moriori people. They were the last of the major Pacific Islands to be settled. Moriori made a conscious decision to set aside warfare and killing and to live in peace. This is known today as Nunuku’s Law named after the spiritual leader, Nunuku Whenua who laid down the covenant of peace over 600 years ago. That covenant remains unbroken by Moriori to this day – a world record for peace keeping! They named their island home Rēkohu, meaning ‘misty skies’, after the mist that sometimes clings to the land. Europeans arrived in 1791 and found the Islands already inhabited by Moriori. Nevertheless, Lieutenant Broughton “claimed” the Islands in the name of King George III, and renamed the main Island ‘Chatham’ after his ship HMS Chatham. European settlement dates from the early 1800’s with sealers, then whalers and farmers. Ngati Tama and Ngati Mutunga arrived in 1835 and made these islands their home. They named the main Island ‘Wharekauri’. Today the peoples of these three cultural groupings, with their unique identities and heritage, live together on this remote outpost; these people are the Chatham Islanders.

Important things to know Access to Private Land and Entry Fees - Unlike mainland New Zealand, most of the island, including the beaches, is privately owned land. The brochure map highlights the only public land in dark green. Most attractions are also on private land and access to them requires permission and payment of an entry fee. This must be prearranged and your host will be able to assist. Visitors are asked not to venture onto any private land without permission. Opening Hours - Many of the attractions, cafes and galleries have designated days and hours of operating. Please check with the operators or your hosts first. Please check out the full section on Important Visitor Information in this brochure prior to your visit. Natural and Archaeological Taonga – The Chatham Islands are rich in flora and fauna, geological and archaeological treasures – for example native birds, fossils, and sites related to Moriori settlement, all of which are protected by law. These also hold special value to 8 Islanders. Visitors are requested to please not remove these. Heading Southeast to Owenga, no visit to the Chathams is complete without a visit to Kopinga Marae. Here visitors can share in Moriori history and culture and their ancient covenant of peace. At Owenga, Chatham Island Food Co. offers guided tours that showcase their processing facility. Hear their story and purchase the local seafood delicacies. A visit to Studio 44˚s offers original unique Māori and Moriori art treasurers crafted from Island natural resources. Owenga is also the base for fishing trips, tours and transport out to Pitt Island with Owenga Charters. A visit to the statue of Tommy Solomon (Tame Horomona Rehe) at Manukau is also well worth the trip. A drive Northwest to Waitangi West takes in Admiral Garden with the garden, coastal and wetland reserve walk and art studio. The Basalt Columns are the next stop before going on to the picturesque bay and picnic stop of Port Hutt that features the wreck of the former WW2 mine sweeper turned fish freezer the Thomas Currell. Further out is the Maunganui Stone Cottage, a Category 1 listed building built in the 1870s of local materials. Waitangi West Beach is the final stop and a chance to enjoy a walk along this remote beach and watch out for the endangered Chatham Islands oystercatchers. Venturing Northeast to the remote fishing village Tommy Solomon statue of Kaingaroa can include, on the way, a visit to Wharekauri Station and the impressive pillow lava rock formation known to some as Splatter and to Moriori as Taniwha Rock. At Kaingaroa there are two memorials. The first marks the bicentenary of European discovery of the Chatham Islands by Lieutenant Broughton in 1791. The second commemorates Moriori resident Tamakaroro killed by Lieutenant Broughton while defending his fishing gear. It also recognises those who have lost their lives off the coast or in the Island’s lagoons. There is also a walk through coastal bush to the rocky headland and Kaingaroa Beach. From Kaingaroa, the Sunderland Flying Boat, remains of the German missionary settlement at Mission Bay and Point Munning fur seal colony are well worth seeing. For the best experience, booking as part of an organised tour is encouraged or take local guided day tours with Chatham Island Tours. Also popular are a number of walks through Department of Conservation reserves - see page 11.

Please phone to arrange a suitable time to visit. Rangihaute / Rangiauria Pitt Island

The first inhabited place in the world to see the dawn Pitt Island is acknowledged as one of the jewels in the Chatham Islands’ crown. The ancient volcanic tabletop of Mt Hakepa is recognised as the first place in the world to welcome the new day. Visitors are drawn to enjoy the 360° views of Pitt and the surrounding islands and take photos of the bronze sculptures that recognise this special place. Pitt Island is also renowned for its spectacular scenery and natural environment. The topography ranges from rolling to steep fertile farmland, to wild, rugged coastlines and bush clad valleys. This, together with its isolation over the centuries, has ensured bird life, botany, geology, fishing, diving, pig and wild sheep hunting experiences are a drawcard. Within the bush reserves, tui, , red-crowned parakeets, warblers and fantails are more readily seen than on Chatham Island and the predator-free outer islands of Rangatira (South East Island and Mangere) are home to other rare and endemic birds. Historic attractions include the oldest timber building on the Chathams, the Glory Cottage. It is located at Glory Bay where the earliest shipwreck, the brig Glory, happened in 1827. New Zealand’s most remote Church, Our Lady of the Antipodes, is located at Flowerpot. A popular photo opportunity is the view of the Red Bluff Tuff formations on the West Coast above Waihere Bay, referred to by locals as “Mars”. Formed by undersea volcanoes around 65 million years ago, they are a stark contrast to Mangere Island in the distance at just 5 million years. Access to Pitt Island is by boat or plane for day tours or a longer stay. The only accommodation on Pitt Island is Flowerpot Bay Lodge which stands on the site of the original Hunt Homestead. Frederick and Mary Hunt settled here in 1843. The majority of the current Pitt Island inhabitants are descendants of the Hunts. They provide the basis for many stories and yarns of the early pioneers. Visiting Pitt Island is by guided access only so all trips must be prearranged.
