Would the Proposed Reforms Affecting Ahu Whenua Trusts Have Impeded Hapū in the Development of Their Lands? a Ngāti Awa Perspective Would the proposed reforms affecting ahu whenua trusts have impeded hapū in the development of their lands? A Ngāti Awa perspective. Layne Ross Harvey 30 June 2018 2 Would the proposed reforms affecting ahu whenua trusts have impeded hapū in the development of their lands? A Ngāti Awa perspective. Layne Ross Harvey A thesis submitted to the Auckland University of Technology in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 30 June 2018 Faculty of Business AUCKLAND UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY Te Wānanga Aronui o Tāmaki Makau Rau 3 ABSTRACT This thesis provides a critical examination, from the perspective of three hapū (subtribes) of the Ngāti Awa iwi (tribe) from Te Moananui-a-Toi (the Bay of Plenty), in Te Ika a Maui (the North Island) in Aotearoa (New Zealand), of how changes to important aspects of ahu whenua trusts under Te Ture Whenua Māori Bill 2016 might have impeded hapū in achieving their land utilisation objectives. This form of trust, established under Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993, is the principal vehicle for Māori land management involving hundreds of thousands of hectares valued in billions of dollars on behalf of hundreds of thousands of owners, their whānau (family) and hapū. These trusts are sometimes of more significance to tribal communities than are post settlement governance entities; so expansive are their economic, social, cultural and political footprints. The radical proposals for change, contained in the now defunct Te Ture Whenua Māori Bill 2016 are examined, as they concerned core elements of the functioning of ahu whenua trusts, given what might have been their potential impacts on the management of Māori land. Those functions include the establishment, review and termination of such trusts and their operation in the normal course of business. The role of trustees and beneficial owners, their rights and obligations and their relationships with each other, are also considered. The overarching aim of this research is to assess key aspects of the proposed changes against the status quo and identify potential risks in the context of how they might operate in practice, should such proposals be revived, wholly or in part, by a future government. More importantly, proposals to amend the current legislation as an alternative approach are also explored with an emphasis on devolving a significant part of the existing transactional jurisdiction of the Māori Land Court from judicial to administrative oversight. In this way, it is intended that an original contribution to the study of Māori land can be made. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT

Guidebook for Pre-conference North Island, New Zealand „Volcanoes to Oceans‟ field tour (27-30 July). 19th World Soils Congress, International Union of Soil Sciences, Brisbane. Soil and Earth Sciences Occasional Publication No. 3, Massey University, Palmerston North, pp. 7-29. Quaternary volcanism, tephras, and tephra-derived soils in New Zealand: an introductory review David J. Lowe Department of Earth and Ocean Sciences, University of Waikato, Hamilton Introduction This two-part article comprises brief introductions to (1) volcanism and its products in general and to the broad pattern of Quaternary volcanism and tephrostratigraphy in North Island, and (2) the ensuing tephra-derived soils of North Island. Part 1 derives mainly from Smith et al. (2006), Leonard et al. (2007), and Lowe (2008a). Other useful reviews include those of Neall (2001), Graham (2008: Chapter 7), Wilson et al. (2009), and Cole et al. (2010). Recent reviews on tephras include Shane (2000), Alloway et al. (2007), Lowe (2008b, 2011), and Lowe et al. (2008a, 2008b). A history of tephra studies in New Zealand was reported by Lowe (1990). Part 2 describes the distribution and character of the main tephra-derived soils, these being Entisols and Andisols (mostly Vitrands and Udands) and Ultisols (Lowe and Palmer, 2005). Books on these and other soils in New Zealand include NZ Soil Bureau (1968), Gibbs (1980), McLaren and Cameron (1996), Cornforth (1998), and Molloy and Christie (1998).

Reilly Tēnā koutou katoa, Kia orana kōtou katoatoa, Tangi kē, Welcome and Good Evening. This lecture presents the views of someone anthropologists call a participant-observer, and Māori characterise as a Pākehā, a manuhiri (guest, visitor), or a tangata kē (stranger); the latter two terms contrast with the permanence of the indigenous people, the tangata whenua (people of the land). All of us in this auditorium affiliate to one of these two categories, tangata kē and tangata whenua; sometimes to both. We are all inheritors of a particular history of British colonisation that unfolded within these lands from the 1800s (a legacy that Hone Tuwhare describes as ‘Victoriana-Missionary fog hiding legalized land-rape / and gentlemen thugs’).1 This legalized violation undermined the hospitality and respect assumed between tangata whenua and tangata kē.

  • Ngati Pikiao Lands: Loss of Tribal Ownership and Control
    NGATI PIKIAO LANDS: LOSS OF TRIBAL OWNERSHIP AND CONTROL Alan Ward Newcastle, N.S.W 21 October 2001 A report for the Waitangi Tribunal Synopsis In customary Maori society, different kinds of land rights were held at different levels of the society - individual, whanau, hapu, and iwi. The advent of the commercial economy led Maori to seek clearer definition oftheir rights, at each of those levels, as do modern South Pacific societies. But there was no widespread demand among Maori to abrogate totally the 'tribal' level- certainly not among Ngati Pikiao. British and colonial govemments, however, purported to transmute the allegedly communal 'tribal' rights into individual rights, through the operation of the Native Land Acts. In fact, they elevated customary individual use rights into the right of each individual to severally alienate his or her interests in the new titles, while rarely facilitating the development of individual farms on the ground. In reaction against the debilitating effect of this process, Maori, for more than a century, have demanded a restoration of 'tribal' authority over the land. This would appear to be in contradiction to the trend in other South Pacific societies, where the drive for individual or family enterprises is strong. In fact, however, most South Pacific societies are opposed to widespread 'land registration' or 'conversion' or 'titling'ofcustomary tenure. Instead, there is a great deal of infOlmal demarcation of individual and family farms, internal migration of small groups, and informal trading in land rights to accommodate these trends. Formalisation of the arrangements is sometimes sought to accommodate internal migration, especially to the towns, but still with limited modification of customary tenure.

  • Aspects of the Chronology, Structure and Thermal History of the Kawerau Geothermal Field
    Aspects of the Chronology, Structure and Thermal History of the Kawerau Geothermal Field By Sarah Dawn Milicich A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geology Victoria University of Wellington School of Geography, Environment and Earth Sciences Wellington, New Zealand 2013 ii „It is what it is‟ id est quod est J.L. Wooden (pers. comm. 2010) iii iv ABSTRACT The development and management of high-temperature geothermal resources for electrical power generation requires accurate knowledge of the local geological conditions, particularly where they impact on the hydrology of the resource. This study is an integrated programme of work designed to develop new perspectives on the geological and structural framework of the Kawerau geothermal resource as a sound basis for field management. Although the geological approaches and techniques utilised in this study have previously been used, their application to an integrated study of a geothermal system in New Zealand has not been previously undertaken. Correlating volcanic and sedimentary stratigraphy in geothermal areas in New Zealand can be challenging due to similarities in lithology and the destruction of distinctive chemical, mineralogical and textural characteristic by hydrothermal alteration. A means to overcoming these issues is to utilise dating to correlate the stratigraphy. Zircons are resistant to the effects of typical hydrothermal conditions and were dated using SIMS techniques (SHRIMP-RG) to retrieve U–Pb ages on zircons. These age data were then used to correlate units across the field, in part aided by correlations to material that had previously been dated from fresh rock by 40Ar/39Ar techniques, and used to redefine the stratigraphic framework for the area.
