Memory Work on R ¯Ekohu (Chatham Islands) Kingsley Baird
Memory Connection Volume 3 Number 1 © 2019 The Memory Waka Hokopanopano Ka Toi Moriori (Reigniting Moriori Arts): Memory Work on R ¯ekohu (Chatham Islands) Kingsley Baird Hokopanopano Ka Toi Moriori (Reigniting Moriori Arts): Memory Work on R ¯ekohu (Chatham Islands)—Kingsley Baird Hokopanopano Ka Toi Moriori (Reigniting Moriori Arts): Memory Work on R ¯ekohu (Chatham Islands) Kingsley Baird Abstract Since European discovery of Re¯kohu (Chatham Islands) in 1791, the pacifist Moriori population declined rapidly as a result of introduced diseases (to which they had no immunity) and killing and enslavement by M¯aori iwi (tribes) from the New Zealand ‘mainland’ following their invasion in 1835. When (full-blooded) Tame Horomona Rehe—described on his headstone as the ‘last of the Morioris’— died in 1933, the Moriori were widely considered to be an extinct people. In February 2016, Moriori rangata m¯a tua (elders) and rangatehi (youth), artists and designers, archaeologists, a conservator and an arborist gathered at Ko¯ pinga Marae on Re¯kohu to participate in a w¯a nanga organized by the Hokotehi Moriori Trust. Its purpose was to enlist the combined expertise and commitment of the participants to hokopanopano ka toi Moriori (reignite Moriori arts)—principally those associated with r¯a kau momori (‘carving’ on living ko¯ pi trees)—through discussion, information exchange, speculation, toolmaking and finally, tree carving. In addition to providing a brief cultural and historical background, this paper recounts some of the memory work of the w¯a nanga from the perspective of one of the participants whose fascination for Moriori and the resilience of their culture developed from Michael King’s 1989 book, Moriori: A People Rediscovered. -

1. Kerosene Creek 2. Wairua Stream
1. Kerosene Creek First on our list of hot pools in Rotorua is the world-famous Kerosene Creek. 35 minutes from Rotorua and down a gravel road will take you to the thermal pool and waterfall at Kerosene Creek. The creek is popular not just for its geothermal activity but its beautiful surroundings. Location: 28km south of Rotorua. Take State Highway 5, then travel about 2km down Old Waiotapu Road. 2. Wairua Stream Wairua Stream is a bit harder to get to as you have to get a boat across Lake Tarawera, making it a local’s paradise. It is near Te Rata Bay and is one of the most picturesque hot pools near Rotorua. Location: About 25 minutes out of Rotorua down Spencer Road, Lake Tarawera. By boat, launch at Stoney Point and head straight across Lake Tarawera to the headlands on the right of Mt Tarawera. Go straight through these headlands to where the lake opens. Steer gently to starboard and make for the only beach in this area. 3. Wai-o-Tapu / The Bridge / The Secret Spot When it comes to Rotorua hot pools, it does not get more popular thank this one. Funnily enough, it is supposed to be a secret. Get the remnants from the Wai-O-Tapu geothermal attraction by bathing in the hot pool formed by the hot Wai-O-Tapu stream meeting the cool river. It’s a thermal pool, completely natural and completely free! Location: Just outside the Wai-O-Tapu geothermal park (under the bridge). 30km south of Rotorua just off State Highway 5. -
The Sedimentation and Drainage History of Haroharo Caldera and the Tarawera River System, Taupo Volcanic Zone, New Zealand
The Sedimentation and Drainage History of Haroharo Caldera and The Tarawera River System, Taupo Volcanic Zone, New Zealand Prepared by K A Hodgson and I A Nairn Environment Bay of Plenty Operations Publication 2004/03 August 2004 5 Quay Street P O Box 364 Whakatane NEW ZEALAND ISSN 1176 - 5550 Working with our communities for a better environment Environment Bay of Plenty i Acknowledgements The Department of Conservation (Rotorua Lakes Office) permitted our studies in lake and river reserves. Fletcher Challenge Forests (and its successors) provided detailed contour maps and aerial photographs. Bryan Davy and Hugh Bibby (GNS) provided a pre- publication copy of their paper on seismic imaging in Lake Tarawera. PGSF Contract IANX0201 funded this study. Sedimentation and Drainage History, Tarawera River System Operations Publication 2004/03 Environment Bay of Plenty iii Executive Summary Haroharo caldera has been formed by the coalescence of multiple collapse structures over the last 350 kyr, the latest major collapse accompanying voluminous rhyolite pyroclastic eruptions at ~50 ka. The caldera has formed a sink for precipitation on surrounding catchments, with overflow via the Tarawera River through the Whakatane graben to the sea at ~30 km to NE. Lakes have probably always occupied at least part of the caldera floor, but the early lacustrine history is largely obscured by younger eruptives. Since 26 ka, the Haroharo, Okareka, Rotoma and Tarawera volcanic complexes have grown within the caldera during eleven eruption episodes, confining ten lakes on the caldera margins. Growth of the volcanic complexes has greatly altered drainage paths and ponding areas within and marginal to the caldera, so that the present ~700 km2 caldera catchment area is about half the ~1400 km2 area that drained into the caldera between 26 ka and 9.5 ka. -

This report is in accordance with Clause 5.1 and 5.2 of Deed of Funding with the Crown, for the Programme. In this report, progress made on individual interventions is reported against the Annual Work Programme commitments. The overarching goal of the Deed of Funding Agreement is to meet community aspirations for water quality in the four Deed Funded lakes: Rotoiti, Rotorua, Ōkāreka and Rotoehu. Each of these lakes has a target water quality set by the community in the Bay of Plenty Regional Water and Land Plan. This target water quality is set by Trophic Level Index (TLI) and this report provides an update on the status of water quality across the Rotorua Te Arawa Lakes, against the targets set for all lakes, Deed and non-Deed funded. -
Lake Rotoehu Action Plan
Lake Rotoehu Action Plan ISSN 1175 9372 (Print) ISSN 1179 9471 (Online) Environmental Publication 2007/19 November 2007 (As amended April 2011) Lake Rotoehu Action Plan Hearing Panel Decisions 7 November 2007 Environmental Publication 2007/19 Lake Rotoehu Action Plan Environment Bay of Plenty, Rotorua District Council, Te Arawa Lakes Trust i Foreword We are pleased to release the Lake Rotoehu Action Plan, which aims to significantly improve the water quality of Lake Rotoehu through lake restoration actions over the next ten years. Lake Rotoehu is a relatively quiet lake valued for trout fishing, kayaking and some waterskiing. However since 1993 it has suffered major cyanobacterial blooms, and more recently the spread of hornwort beds through much of the shallow areas. Te Arawa value the Te Arawa Lakes and the Lakes' resources as taonga and continue to maintain their spiritual, traditional, cultural and historical relationships with their ancestral lakes. The Action Plan outlines some key actions to improve lake water quality, such as: Land use and land management changes on pastoral land to meet a nutrient loss reduction target. Implementation of Environmental Programmes to protect waterways. Hornwort biomass harvesting. Wetland construction. Rotorua District Council, Environment Bay of Plenty and Te Arawa Lakes Trust look forward to working with the Lake Rotoehu community and landowners on these actions. If these actions are achieved, there is a good chance that Lake Rotoehu could be pulled back from its eutrophic state to become a mesotrophic lake again. A key indicator that this has happened will be a decline in the extent of cyanobacterial blooms that infest the lake during the summer months. -
Formation of the Sport of Athletics in Rotorua
Lake City Athletic Club Inc A History by Pam Kenny Three clubs joined together in April 1991, to form the current Lake City Athletic Club Inc. A short history of the earlier clubs is shown first. Rotorua Amateur Athletic & Cycling Club / Rotorua Athletic Club 1931-1991 On the 13 November 1931 a meeting was convened at Brent’s Bathgate House to establish an athletic and cycling club in Rotorua. Thirty people were in attendance and the Rotorua Amateur Athletic and Cycling Club was formed, with the club achieving incorporated society status in 1938. Blue and gold were the club colours - blue singlet/blouse and shorts with gold “R” on the top. Weekly competitions were held at the Rotorua Boys High on a Friday evening, with the customary track and field events for the runners, with cyclists contesting both track and road races. Val Robinson winning an early ladies’ athletics meeting in the late 1940's The club went into recess during the Second World War, with activities resuming October 1944. Venues utilized between 1944 and 1960 were Harriers in the late 1940's - L to R; John Wild, Alex Kuirau Park, the old A&P Showgrounds near Uta Millar, Keith French, Harry Findon Street, Arawa Park, Pererika Street, and again Kuirau Park. 1961 saw the Club at Smallbone Park, its home until the 1983/84 season, when a move was made to the new International Stadium, though the inadequacy of the track led to a return to Smallbone Park for a season. 1986 it was back to the Stadium until sand carpeting of the ground prevented permanent lane markings and children being able to run barefooted.
