  • The Bible's Early Journey in NZ
    The Bible’s Early Journey in New Zealand THE ARRIVAL It was so difficult in fact, that six years later Johnson was joined by an assistant. The Reverend Samuel Marsden, Towards the end of the 18th century, with the loss of later to be remembered by history as the Apostle to America’s 13 colonies in the American Revolution, Britain New Zealand, was studying at Cambridge University looked towards Asia, Africa and the Pacific to expand when he was convinced through the influence of William its empire. With Britain’s overburdened penal system, Wilberforce to become assistant chaplain to the penal expanding the empire into the newly discovered eastern colony at Port Jackson (by this time the original penal coast of Australia through the establishment of a penal colony settlement at Botany Bay had been moved). colony seemed like a decent solution. So, in 1787, six Marsden jumped at the chance to put his faith into transport ships with 775 convicts set sail for Botany Bay, practice and boarded a ship bound for Australia. He later to be renamed Sydney. arrived in Port Jackson with his wife in 1794.

  • He Wahine, He Whenua I Ngaro Ai? Maori Women, Maori Marriage Customs and the Native Land Court, 1865-1909
    He Wahine, He Whenua I Ngaro Ai? Maori Women, Maori Marriage Customs and the Native Land Court, 1865-1909 Inano Walter A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Arts University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand 2017 Created 16/10/2017 ii Abstract The aim of this study is to investigate and identify the effects the Native Land Court and native land legislation had on customary Māori marriage practices from 1865 to 1909. While researchers have produced a variety of important understandings of the court’s role in promoting land loss in Māori society, Māori women’s involvement in the court and its effects upon them is just beginning to be examined. This thesis makes a contribution to Māori women’s history by accounting for the role the Native Land Court and associated land legislation played in reshaping customary Māori marriage practices in nineteenth and early twentieth century New Zealand. Even though native land legislation was one of the key mechanisms by which the state governed Māori land as well as marriage, this connection is rarely examined within the same frame. The Native Land Court is a forum where land and marriage did interact. Focusing on a case study of Ngāti Kahungunu, I situate prominent Māori women in the Native Land Court, and use their experiences to further understandings of how Māori marriage, which is often examined in a pre-European context, was shaped by land title investigations and succession cases. This study was conducted utilising statutes, colonial newspapers and the Napier Minute Books. In the first chapter, this thesis uses ethnographic material to describe and interpret marriage customs prior to European contact, its draws upon missionary understandings of customary marriage upon arrival to Aotearoa, and also traces how colonial law managed marriage prior to the Native Land Court 1865.

  • William Colenso's Māori-English Lexicon
    William Colenso’s Māori-English Lexicon by Charlotte Frances Thompson Darling A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Victoria University of Wellington (2018) 1 Abstract William Colenso, one of Victorian New Zealand’s most accomplished polymaths, is remembered best as a printer, a defrocked missionary, botanist, and politician. Up till now, his role as a lexicographer has been largely neglected. His major biographies touch only briefly on his attempt to compile a Māori- English dictionary while Colenso himself spent 30 years on this project. His Lexicon, published the year before his death, is only the incomplete letter A of Māori to English and a handful of pages of English to Māori. The neglect by Colenso’s biographers is a surprising omission given the length of time Colenso spent on his Lexicon, the amount of extant material that relates to it, and the richness of the Lexicon itself as a resource. This thesis asks what William Colenso’s Maori-English Lexicon contribute to our understanding of Colenso’s life, and about the history of language in New Zealand? In chapter one, a brief outline of Colenso’s roles as a missionary, a botanist, a school inspector and a politician establish important biographical context for considering his attempt to compile a Lexicon. The main resource drawn upon is the 30 years’ worth of correspondence between Colenso and the New Zealand government relating to the Lexicon, which affords an overview of the project. The Lexicon itself is a rich resource.

I Mārama te Rironga ko a te Kuīni The Waipukurau Purchase and the Subsequent Consequences on Central Hawke’s Bay Māori to 1900. A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History at Massey University Manawatū, New Zealand Michael Allan Hunter 2019 i Abstract In 1820s and 1830s Māori from Central Hawke’s Bay came into contact with Pākehā for the first time and they began to trade. From this contact they began to see the benefits of Pākehā. So they requested the government to establish a Pākehā settlement and offered land for sale. Land was purchased at Waipukurau on 4 November 1851. Donald McLean made sweeping promises of benefits and riches when the deed was signed however these benefits and riches would never come to the Māori of Central Hawke’s Bay. The Waipukurau purchase opened the door for more purchases. The Māori of Central Hawke’s Bay began alienating their land. First through direct purchasing with Donald McLean then through the Native Land Court. Māori would soon find themselves in debt which would lead to the Hawke’s Bay Native Lands Alienation Commission 1873. Central Hawke’s Bay Māori emerged as leaders of the Repudiation Movement of the 1870s and then the Kotahitanga Māori Parliament of the 1890s in order to fight for their lost lands.

    Heritage Trails FARNDON HERITAGE TRAIL Frimley-Waitangi Tangi a Te Ruru sculpture, Whakatu Photograph: Ivan Hughes Hawke’s Bay Discover New Zealand 1 FARNDON HERITAGE TRAIL Frimley-Waitangi Introduction: The Farndon Heritage Trail takes visitors through areas that have been historically associated with the orcharding and fruitgrowing industry in Hawke’s Bay, as well as some sites of Maori significance. The route touches the Ngaruroro River in several places. This river is significant for its numerous floods and their effect on the Hastings region in its past and more recent history. The name of the Farndon Trail is taken from one of the roads in the area and its related land and building features. Farndon is a village in England where the sweetheart of a young surveyor of this local region lived. This trail traverses 22.6km and can be driven or cycled. Cumulative mileage is noted in red. The Heritage Trail starts in Hastings at the intersection of St Aubyn Street, Frimley Road and Pakowhai Road. Park on Pakowhai Road outside Hastings Girls’ High School. 1. Hastings Girls’ High School (opened March 1956) Secondary education began in Hastings over a century ago on the site of the current Hastings Boys’ High School in Karamu Road. (See Hastings Urban Drive Heritage Trail brochure) Initially this school was co-educational but due to pressure of the post-war baby boom, by 1954, a new high school became necessary. As was the fashion then, the new school on Pakowhai Road was created for girls. It was built on Plaque and one of a pair of the windows from the Williams’ homestead in the Hastings Girls’ High School hall Don Trask 2 Section of the mural on the back wall of the Don Trask Hastings Girls’ High School hall the former Frimley Estate, owned by the pioneering (James Nelson) Williams family.

  • Puritanical and Apocalyptic-Minded American Missionaries in Southeast Africa – a Contrast with Bishop John William Colenso
    Puritanical and apocalyptic-minded American missionaries in southeast Africa – a contrast with Bishop John William Colenso Scott Houser Austin, Texas, USA Abstract Six couples of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM) arrived in Natal, southeast Africa in 1835 – three from north of the Mason-Dixie Line and three from the south – all six indelibly etched with a Puritan con- sciousness and worldview. Utilising a two-prong strategy – from West Africa and southeast Africa – the ABCFM wanted to Christianise and civilise all of “dark” Africa, and thereafter to celebrate together with other European mission societies somewhere on a central Africa mountain top. They perceived their mission to be one of urgency because the end time was near. A cosmic spiritual battle between God and Satan was forming. The God-elect were to take up their battle stations, and together with Him, wage aggressive war against Satan and his kingdom. Prior to the impending final judgment, their ob- jective was to utilise whatever means necessary to pluck and save as many souls as possible from Satan’s bondage. They were determined to do this irrespective of and with disregard to Zulu indifference to the missionaries’ Christianising and civilising message and appeal. Twenty years later, 1855, the Church of England’s bishop to Natal, John William Colenso and his family arrived. Colenso was an individual influenced greatly by the literary critic Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) and the biblical criticism of Frederick Denison Maurice (1805-1872), parti- cularly, the 1860s Essays and Reviews. He applied himself diligently to the task of learning the Zulu language, and in close daily contact with Zulus, particularly his friend, William Ngidi – sought to listen and respond to their many questions.

Enclosed is the definitive copy of my WAI 400 Maori customary interests in the Ahuriri Block report. Apart from eliminating spelling mistakes I have amended references 2 and 3 which couldn't be cross­ checked until Napier Minute Bk 14 returned from National Archives where it had lain since 1995 or 1996. ( I am currently examining coastal boundaries in this area which have reference to jurisdiction over fishing rights. I have been going through old missionary records which contain some fascinating material and I'm often in danger of being sidetracked as you can imagine. I hope this report reaches you in one piece. I have left it unbound so it can be reproduced. Regards, /y/~. MAORI CUSTOMARY RIGHTS IN THE AHURIRI BLOCK. by PATRICK PARSONS. -.' '~~ ".j'(. .. (I . "\: .. • I. -~••.

  • Submission for the Waitangi Tribunal - Muriwhenua Land Claim
    1 ! SUBMISSION FOR THE WAITANGI TRIBUNAL - MURIWHENUA LAND CLAIM 1.0 My name is Anne Salmond. I am an Associate-Professor of Maori Studies and Social Anthropology at the University of Auckland. I trained as a social anthropologist and linguist at the University of Auckland, and subsequently at the University of Pennsylvania, which awarded me a PhD in anthropology in 1974. I have written a number of papers on the historical semantics of Maori,l in addition to other works on contemporary Maori life. Recently I completed an anthropological-historical account of the first encounters between Maori and Europearis entitled Two Worlds: First Meetings Between Maori and Europeans 1642-1772. I am currently working on a sequel, entitled Borderlands: Exchanges Between Maori and Europeans 1773-1815. 1.1 I have been asked by the Waitangi Tribunal to give an anthropological and historical analysis of the Treaty transactions at Waitangi, Mangungu and Kaitaia in 1840, addressing the following specific questions: 1. Have any Maori language records of these transactions survived? 2. What do the surviving records tell us about the Maori context in which these transactions took place? 3. Was there a "meeting of minds" or were people "talking past each other"? 4. As a result of these transactions, what do you think Maori would have concluded about how they affected their rights to land and other resources? 1.2 I propose to meet this request by focussing very closely on the surviving primary records of these transactions. First, I will scrutinise the surviving Maori language documentation of these transactions, particularly the Maori language text of the Treaty which was signed on parchment at Waitangi and elsewhere in the north.
