Oculus June 2020 Noun : oculus, plural noun : oculi Meaning: A round or eyelike opening or design, OCULUS in par�cular June 2020 Historic Places Aotearoa President James Blackburne It has been a turbulent time for the country over the past few months and no doubt things will remain some what fluid for the foreseeable future. For many of us, the lock down has meant a change in the way we all operate and for many heritage organisations we have not been able to connect with our members. Over the coming years domestic tourism is likely to boom and this will provide an opportunity for local heritage tourism as many people will be looking for things to do as they travel around. This will provide an opportunity to tell the stories of your place to the people of Aotearoa. The Executive is concerned that the governments desire to fast track projects around the country will place heritage at a greater risk. We will be lobbying government about this and ask that you also contact you local MP's and advocate for our heritage to be protected in any new legislation. The conference date and location has been set, so please put the weekend of the 17th and 18th October in your dairies and start planning for a trip to Whanganui. More details on the planned events and speakers will be released over the coming months as they come to hand.

The South Canterbury Historical Society (an HPA Associate member) and the Timaru Civic Trust have also ‘picked up the baton’ and are progressing the Blue Plaque initiative in South Canterbury, with the first five Blue Plaques currently on order and due to be placed on five heritage buildings in Timaru in the first half of 2020. We also had an enquiry from the 87 year-old Grandson of Kurow’s first resident Doctor, who contacted us from the UK, where he resides, to see if we could produce a Blue Plaque to go on the original Doctor’s House in this tiny, but historic North Otago township. This house was later occupied by Dr D. G. McMilan, who, along with Rev. A. H. Nordmeyer and local Headmaster Mr A. M. Davidson (known as the ‘Three Wise Men’ of Kurow), met regularly in this house to develop what was eventually to become New Zealand’s ground-breaking Social Security system which was introduced when the first Labour government came to power in 1935. An earlier plaque on the site, which was produced by the North Otago branch of the former NZ Historic Places Trust neglected to mention the Kurow’s first resident Doctor, whom the house was originally built for. The wording on the replacement plaque now includes reference to the original date and purpose of this modest little (unlisted) 1893 Oamaru Stone bungalow. The new plaque was placed on an existing plinth outside the Doctor’s House (now a private residence) in January 2020. During the course of the research for this building, we also uncovered the original architectural drawings of the Doctor’s house which revealed that it was designed by the renowned architect John Megget Forrester, son of Thomas Forrester (of Forrester & Lemon fame) and the architect of the Oamaru Opera House. Government Announcements for Heritage: Budget 2020 Government Announcements for Heritage 2020 25 May 2020 Up to $70m for upgrades of marae, town halls, Pasifika churches and war memorials. The funding is expected to create hundreds of jobs throughout the country. “Renovating these buildings will provide work for local tradies and contractors while regular building and repair work is on hold. It is an opportunity to target Māori, Pasifika and other vulnerable workers who are not able to secure contracts through more substantial infrastructure projects. Funding of $70m will cover salaries and construction costs for these projects,” Shane Jones said. EARLY MAY 2020 Budget 2020 Announcement: Mātauranga Māori • $20 million over two years for mātauranga Māori initiatives to support iwi, hapū, whānau and Māori communities with projects that will protect their mātauranga and taonga from the impact and ongoing threat of COVID-19. Discussions to refine the details of the funding will take place with participating agencies, iwi and Māori communities post-budget. Final details on how to access funding will be available in September 2020. Annual Budget The annual Budget 2020 includes: • $3.1 million to Heritage EQUIP to support seismic strengthening of heritage buildings • $6 million to address Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga cost pressures • $250,000 to investigate the seismic upgrade and refurbishment of Turnbull House. Note $6 million was included in the subsequent $11. Announcement. See following HNZ PT Media Release. 7 April 2020 Reintroduction of building depreciation for Earthquake Strengthening See the following HPA Media Release on Depreciation for Earthquake Strengthening HNZPT to Receive$11.364 million This includes the $6 million and $250,000 Turnball Library Budget 2020 annoncements. See the following HNZPT Media Release. Budget 2020: HPZPT Media Release 1st June Budget 2020 funding allocations a huge boost Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga is delighted with the Government’s continued commitment to heritage in Budget 2020 and last Thursday’s cultural recovery package announced by Prime Minister and Minister for Arts, Culture and Heritage, Jacinda Ardern. The country’s lead heritage agency receives $11.364 million in support to recover from the impact of COVID-19. This total includes the $6 million allocation announced in the Budget on 14 May to help ease financial pressures arising from increased insurance, information technology, property management, accommodation and staffing costs, and prepare a business case for the seismic upgrade and refurbishment of the Category 1 listed Turnbull House in Wellington. “The cultural sector was amongst the worst hit by the global pandemic,” the Prime Minister said at Te Papa in Wellington last Thursday. “Museums, galleries and heritage sites closed, and individual artists and arts organisations like dance and theatre companies saw their incomes decimated almost overnight. “Funding announced today will help them get back on their feet. New jobs will be created, and the sector will innovate and connect with new audiences.” The funding is a huge boost for Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga to continue its ongoing management and development of the visitor experience to nationally important heritage properties it cares for on behalf of the nation, says Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga Chief Executive, Andrew Coleman. “The confidence and support from the Government reflects our standing as this country’s lead heritage agency and the commitment and expertise our staff have in continually achieving positive opportunities and outcomes for heritage,” says Mr Coleman.

These will assist teachers to make assessment judgements at the grade boundaries. New Zealand Qualification Authority To support internal assessment from 2014 © NZQA 2014 Exemplar for internal assessment resource History for Achievement Standard 91002 Grade Boundary: Low Excellence For Excellence, the student needs to demonstrate comprehensive understanding of an 1. historical event, or place, of significance to New Zealanders. This involves including a depth and breadth of understanding using extensive supporting evidence, to show links between the event, the people concerned and its significance to New Zealanders. In this student’s evidence about the Maori Land Hikoi of 1975, some comprehensive understanding is demonstrated in comments, such as why the wider Maori community became involved (3) and how and when the prime minister took action against the tent embassy (6). Breadth of understanding is demonstrated in the wide range of matters that are considered (e.g. the social background to the march, the nature of the march, and the description of a good range of ways in which the march was significant to New Zealanders). Extensive supporting evidence is provided regarding the march details (4) and the use of specific numbers (5) (7) (8). To reach Excellence more securely, the student could ensure that: • the relevance of some evidence is better explained (1) (2), or omitted if it is not relevant • the story of the hikoi is covered in a more complete way.

    10/30/2019 Gmail - Tamaki Yacht Club at Bastion Point, Orākei - request for comment from Te Runanga o Ngati Whatua Ross Roberts <[email protected]> Tamaki Yacht Club at Bastion Point, Orākei - request for comment from Te Runanga o Ngati Whatua 1 message Ross Roberts <[email protected]> 30 October 2019 at 17:05 To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected], Tamaki <[email protected]> Tēnā koutou, I am Ross Roberts, the Commodore of Tamaki Yacht Club. A a keen sailor from England, I moved to New Zealand in 2008 to enjoy the fantastic marine environment in Auckland which is world-renowned for its sailing. When not sailing I work as an engineering geologist trying to manage the social and environmental effects of natural processes such as landslides and volcanic eruptions. I am writing to start a discussion with you about possible future plans for Tamaki Yacht Club, the sailing club at Bastion Point between Mission Bay and Ōkahu Bay. Tamaki Yacht Club was founded around the time that Tamaki Drive was opened in 1932, and has been a centre for small sailing yachts ever since. We are a small club that is mainly used by more experienced sailors for casual racing, because the slipway is quite exposed so the club is not particularly well suited for learners. The clubhouse was built when the club was founded, and was slightly expanded in 1972 at the front, in the former location of a gun turret that protected the entrance to the Waitematā during the war.

  • One Brotherhood in Aotearoa New Zealand: Protest, Resistance and Pacific Reggae
    One Brotherhood in Aotearoa New Zealand: Protest, Resistance and Pacific Reggae ELIZABETH TURNER Abstract The band Herbs has recently been formally recognized in Aotearoa New Zealand for its cultural expression and influence, and for the musicians’ political stance in an important period of activism. The band’s highly original and influential first EP, What’s Be Happen? (1981), is a musical fusion of roots reggae and Pacific sounds. It was the country’s first Pacific reggae album and is regarded as a defining moment in the history of New Zealand popular music. This article examines “One Brotherhood,” one of the most overtly political songs from that album, in relation to its political and social context. Written by band member Phil Toms, the song makes a powerful political statement by connecting protest against a national rugby tour of New Zealand by a racially selected team from Apartheid South Africa with struggles for the return of Māori land. I draw on Mikhail Bakhtin’s theory of dialogism and his conceptualization of utterances as ethical acts in the analysis of this popular song and the ways in which subordinate voices are represented in its creative construction of protest and resistance to injustice and social oppression. Introduction When Nelson Mandela visited Aotearoa New Zealand1 in 1995, eighteen months after his swearing in as President of South Africa, he expressed his gratitude to the local anti-apartheid movement, its leaders and supporters. He thanked them for braving police batons in demonstrating against a 1981 tour of New Zealand by the racially selected South African rugby team (the Springboks), and for protesting against South Africa’s “legalised and cruel system of racial domination.”2 In recognition of its significance as part of the sound track of that struggle, New Zealand band Herbs’ song “One Brotherhood”3 from their album What’s Be Happen?4 was sung at a reception held for President Mandela in Auckland.

The M āori protest movement was the result of a culmination of grievances dating back to the signing of Stock code: VEA12029 the treaty of Waitangi in 1840. This documentary style program explores: the reasons for the 1970s M āori protest movement; the 1975 Hikoi – protest march; the Occupation of Bastion Point in 1977; and how Aotearoa-New Zealand has changed since the protests.

The struggle for their taonga (resources) and tino rangatiratanga (sovereignty) over them began in the early 19 th century. The Hikoi and the Bastion Point protests of the 1970s marked the beginning of the end of that struggle. This program links to the key concept of change. Its aim is to show how change can be effected in societies by direct protest action. It examines the alienation of Māori land in the 19 th and 20 th centuries.

    Living through History Worksheet - Lesson Ten Copyright National Army Museum Te Mata Toa 1 He waka eke noa We are all in this together History isn’t something that happens to someone else. Right now, you are living through an extraordinary event that is changing the New Zealand way of life: the COVID-19 pandemic. Future children might look back on this moment and ask: how did they feel? How did they make it through? We can ask the same questions about how Māori survived the New Zealand Wars, and the loss of their lands and economic prosperity, language and culture, health and wellbeing. By exploring how Māori people have shown grit and resilience to survive and emerge as powerful advocates for their rights as tangata whenua we can learn from their experiences to help navigate our way through this pandemic and uncertain future.

  • 1975 Land March the 1970S for New Zealand Was a Time When
    Student 1: Low Excellence 1975 Land March The 1970s for New Zealand was a time when several major protests was carried out. The 1975 land march and the occupation of Bastion Point drew awareness to Maori land loss. The population was around 3 million and did not increase much as the contraceptive pill was [1] becoming more common and the younger generation were not as keen to start families early. The Land March was a significant protest movement for New Zealanders, especially for Maoris in the 1970s. Labour Party leader and Prime Minister Norman Kirk replaced the [2] assimilation policy of the National Party with multi-culturalism. In 1975, Whina Cooper led a group around 5000 Maori and Pakeha protesters and walked a length around 640 km from the far north of the North Island to Wellington to protest against Maori land loss. After six months of extensive planning, on 14th September 1975, 80-year-old Whina Cooper led around 50 Marchers, leaving Te Hapua on their journey to Wellington. The march was to cover 700 miles in 30 days and marchers would stop overnight at 25 different maraes. Whina Cooper was a respected Maori elder and people saw her as an extraordinary leader, there were marchers of all ages who were willing to participate. Most marchers, including Cooper, travelled by car while a group of around 50 members walked the whole way. There were buses to take the old and injured but the group kept together which made them closer. The march also brought more Maoris together as they share the same struggles and had [3] something in common to fight for.
