Research Strategy Version 1.4 1.0 Introduction In late December 1846, British forces and allied Maori established several positions facing Ruapekapeka Pa near Kawakawa in the southern Bay of Islands. These positions were established in advance of the attack on the fortification constructed by Te Ruki Kawiti and his allies in the preceding months. The battle at Ruapekapeka, which culminated in a fierce skirmish behind the pa before the British secured the position on 11 January 1846. It would be the final engagement of the first of the New Zealand Wars1, which began with Hone Heke’s fourth assault on the flagstaff at Kororareka and the subsequent razing of Kororareka/Russell on 11 March 1845. The British forces deployed in the campaign numbered approximately 1200 men including British Army regulars of the 58th, and 99th Regiments, marines of the Royal Navy and East India Company and a small settler militia largely made of volunteers from Auckland but including several African Americans who had presumably arrived on whaling ships putting in to the Bay of Islands. The Maori allies numbered around 400 and came from a number of different iwi/hapu from across Taitokerau or Northland, under the putative command of Chief Tamati Waka Nene. A similar number of Maori fought under Kawiti and his ally Hone Heke, who arrived to reinforce Ruapekapeka shortly before the pa was breached. The main British encampment was located on a ridge approximately 1600 metres north of the pa, and facing it over a steep gully. Two smaller artillery positions were progressively established between it and the pa. Adjoining the British camp was a stockade established just prior to the arrival of the main British contingent by Maori under allied Chief Mohi Tawhai. The camp and forward positions were occupied for several weeks from late December 1845 as the British and allied Maori forces brought up their artillery from the ships stationed at the confluence of the Kawakawa and Karetu Rivers. The pa was taken with

  • English Law and the Mäori Response: a Case Study from the Runanga System in Northland, 1861-65
    ENGLISH LAW AND THE MÄORI RESPONSE: A CASE STUDY FROM THE RUNANGA SYSTEM IN NORTHLAND, 1861-65 VINCENT O’MALLEY HistoryWorks, Wellington Examples of the genuine devolution of state authority to Mäori tribal communities are few in New Zealand history until at least the late 20th century. Sir George Grey’s 1861 “plan of native government”, usually described as the “new institutions” or “runanga system” (Ward 1974:125), is often cited as one of the earliest efforts in this direction. Yet there was never any intention of allowing the runanga (tribal councils or assemblies) established under this system to develop into state-sanctioned instruments of genuine self-government. The extension of English law into what were perceived to be ungovernable Mäori districts remained the priority throughout. With unofficial runanga already widely established in many Mäori communities, officials saw an opportunity to harness the energies of these in pursuit of government objectives (O’Malley 2004:47). Widespread suspicion of Crown intentions in the wake of the first Taranaki War saw Grey’s plans flatly rejected in many areas (Ward 1974:132-33). Meanwhile, chiefs in those districts where the runanga system was most fully implemented proved no more willing to be duped into enforcing Päkehä laws against their own communities. Government officials, who had hoped to appropriate for their own ends the aspirations of Mäori in such districts for state recognition of existing tribal governance structures, instead found the new runanga system reappropriated by iwi (‘tribal’) leaders in pursuit of their own, rather different objectives. An assertion of British sovereignty from one perspective was thus viewed from another as belated recognition of the right of Mäori communities to manage their own affairs in accordance with their own customs, as had been widely understood by many chiefs to have been promised to them under the Treaty of Waitangi signed in 1840.

The battle in 1845/6 was the culmination of the War of the North, when Maori stood against the might of the British Empire. It was an armed response to the Treaty of Waitangi, seeking to prevent the erosion of Maori mana. Ruapekapeka is the best preserved of all the New Zealand Wars sites, a tangible connection to events which shaped New Zealand society as it is today.1 The Ruapekapeka Historic Reserve is accessed by a gravel road off State Highway 1, about 35 km north of Whangarei. Nine and half hectares in size, the reserve encompasses the pa itself, the British forward position, and part of the British main camp. The pa and British forward position are mown on a regular basis, and the reserve boasts a sealed car park, formed tracks, interpretation signs, and a beautiful carved waharoa (entranceway).

    Wai 1040, #A61 ‘Fallen Plumage’: A history of Puhipuhi, 1865-2015 Mark Derby A report commissioned by the Waitangi Tribunal Te Paparahi o Te Raki inquiry (Wai 1040) August 2016 Mark Derby, Fallen Plumage’: A History of Puhipuhi, 1865 – 2015 A The Author Tēnā koutou. My name is Mark Derby. I am a Pākehā of Irish descent, living in Wellington. I hold a Masters in New Zealand Studies, with honours in history and te reo Māori, awarded ‘with distinction’ by the Stout Centre for New Zealand Studies, Victoria University of Wellington. My thesis examined the 1916 arrest of Rua Kēnana by Police Commissioner John Cullen, who was formerly superintendent of the North Auckland police district, in which the Puhipuhi blocks lie. This was later published as The Prophet and the Policeman: the story of Rua Kenana and John Cullen (Nelson: Craig Potton, 2009). I was employed at the Waitangi Tribunal as a researcher and claims facilitator from 2003 to 2007. During that time I completed a commissioned scoping report, ‘‘Undisturbed Possession’ – Te Tiriti o Waitangi and East Coast Maori, 1840 – 1865’ (Wai 900, #A11). I have also worked for the Ministry for Culture and Heritage as a writer on Te Ara – the Encyclopedia of New Zealand and have published widely on historical issues, both in this country and overseas.1 My research has also appeared in the form of conference papers and peer-reviewed journal articles, and contributions to films, TV series and museum exhibitions on New Zealand history.2 Each of these projects has drawn extensively on unpublished archival as well as secondary research sources.

  • The 'Illustrious' Hariata Hongi and the Authorship of Hōne Heke's Letters
    New Zealand Journal of History, 52, 2 (2018) The ‘Illustrious’ Hariata Hongi and the Authorship of Hōne Heke’s Letters IN 2014, HŌNE SADLER called for the greater recognition of Māori women in New Zealand history.1 The subject of this article, Hariata Hongi, lived part of her life at Tautoro, the heart of Sadler’s, and Ngāpuhi’s, world, and another part at Kaikohe, only a short distance away, in northern New Zealand. She was of particular significance in the Ngāpuhi2 political realm of the nineteenth century, but her role as a wahine toa, a warrior woman, has received little or no acknowledgement. Although Sadler points out that men and women are of equal status among Ngāpuhi, the issue of gender3 may have kept her in the shadow of her better-known husband, Hōne Heke, whose role in felling the British flag that once flew at Kororāreka (in the Bay of Islands) signalled the beginning of the country’s first war between Māori and the British, in 1845. Indeed, the English artist Joseph Jenner Merrett chose to portray Hariata in two watercolours of 1846, standing behind Heke, one with the warrior holding his trusty musket (Figure 1).4 Hōne Heke and Hariata were both active political figures in northern New Zealand during the 1840s; their networks encompassed traditional iwi communities, as well as governors, administrators and missionaries. While Hōne Heke’s letters to governors FitzRoy and Grey, along with other officials and settlers, have been quoted and used by historians throughout the twentieth and into the twenty-first century, research demonstrates that Hariata contributed to these and may have been solely responsible for some, as she herself stated.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Kanohi ki te Kanohi A Journey towards Repatriation A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy in Māori Studies at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand. Brenda Tipene-Hook 2011 Abstract This thesis explores and examines Ngāti Hine perspectives with respect to taonga. Whilst past research has tended to focus on how museums have responded to international and domestic pressure in terms of their recognition of indigenous rights and cultural awareness, in contrast, the Ngāti Hine experience and the Ngāti Hine response is emphasised. With particular regard to the Ngāti Hine taonga tapu currently housed at the Auckland Museum, this thesis examines hapū-museum relationships from the perspective of Ngāti Hine and investigates and analyses the degree and quality of hapu-museum interaction. An account of the journey, thus far, that Ngāti Hine have made in terms of repatriating their taonga tapu back to within their tribal boundaries and jurisdiction is given. The Ngāti Hine experience is central to the research findings and shows how this journey continues to shape the current perspectives of Ngāti Hine in terms of their response to, and their relationship with, museums. The research consulted with participants drawn from within Ngāti Hine. Research methodology included one-to-one interviews, a focus group discussion, and a review of relevant literature.

Cover: Alexandra Redoubt, near Tuakau, was established by British troops the day after General Cameron crossed the Mangatawhiri River on 12 July 1863 at the start of the Waikato War. The earthwork fortification was located to secure the right flank of the invasion route and to protect military transport to the front on the Waikato River 100 m below. The outstanding preservation is a result of the redoubt now being within an historic reserve and cemetery. See Section 3.10 in the report. Photo: Nigel Prickett, April 1992.

  • Treaty Timeline
    THE TREATY OF WAITANGI TIMELINE C1800 Early Mäori and European contact A pattern of contact was established between Mäori and early whalers and sealers. Europeans (or Päkehä) numbered barely a handful in any one place, and they often lived as guests of the estimated 100,000 Mäori in their distinct and independent tribal regions. Early interaction with ships visiting to trade or take trees (for ships' spars) sometimes led to misunderstandings and violence. Crewmen sometimes broke local tapu or mistreated Mäori, and occasionally openly plundered, The Treaty of Waitangi is New Zealand’s founding document.
