While the fires burn, the rights are effective. Customary rights are something of an enigma. Considered by many Mäori as an inalienable right based on a relationship with a place, a resource and a way of doing things, they are intrinsic in nature and can be as uncomplicated as a bag of watercress collected for the boil-up pot. In another paradigm, they are an action defined, Editorial Team quantified and measured. Phil tumataroa Editor (above) The foreshore and seabed debacle was a clear indication that the Crown sees Mäori Debra Farquhar Assistant Editor (above left) customary rights as a ticking bomb. But the Government’s hasty attempts to defuse Deborah Nation Assistant Editor it had the opposite effect, setting off a pan-Maori explosion of interest in protecting Gabrielle Huria Toitü Te Iwi Manager (above right) what is seen as rightfully ours. Adrienne Anderson Chief Executive (above centre) In this issue of TE KARAKA we tackle this thorny topic which has implications for COntributors so many of the burning issues that face Mäoridom today. We talk to a range of people tom Bennion Pirimia Burger whose opinions have been formed through relationships with customary rights Raoul Butler Donald Couch that span the spectrum of experience.

And while Lisa Reedy Adrienne Rewi there are examples where statutory acknowledgement of customary rights has lead Geoff Shaw Rob tipa to deals between the Crown and Mäori, there is still much work to be done to define Phil tumataroa these rights so that they occupy a place of relevance to us all.

  • Peter Entwisle, Behold the Moon: the European Occupation of the Dunedin District 1770-1848, Reviewed
    B B REVIEWS (BOOKS) 103 B B Perhaps anxious to avoid concluding on such a grim and depressing note, Puckey instead ends by discussing the modern-day settlement of the Muriwhenua Treaty claims, B a process that has dragged out over more than two decades. The modest re-capitalisation B of far northern iwi is unlikely on its own to prove sufficient to reverse the socio-economic fortunes of Māori in the area. But understanding the origins of a problem can often prove crucial in overcoming it, and in this respect Puckey’s book should be required reading B for all those interested in the future fate of the Far North. B VINCENT O’MALLEY HistoryWorks B B Behold the Moon: The European Occupation of the Dunedin District 1770–1848 (revised edition). By Peter Entwisle. Port Daniel Press with the assistance of the Alfred and Isabel Reed Trust administered by the Otago Settlers’ Association, Dunedin, 2010. 300pp. B B Paperback: NZ price $49. ISBN: 978-0-473-17534-4. DERIVING ITS IMAGINATIVE NAME from a Māori chant transcribed by David Samwell at Queen Charlotte Sound during Cook’s third voyage there in 1777, this book is the B revised version of Peter Entwisle’s 1998 one of the same name. Both books have as their B initial frame of reference a brief contextual description of the wider socio-political and B cultural worlds of Europeans in the time leading up to the arrival of sealers, whalers, B traders and eventually missionaries in the South Island of New Zealand. Supporting B his thesis that the beginnings of the European occupation of the Dunedin district were B inextricably linked with the early arrival of small parties of such people in coastal Otago B and Southland, Entwisle describes their interaction and assimilation into small, dispersed B Māori communities that became nuclei for exchange.

  • Review of the Archaeology of Foveaux Strait, New Zealand, by Chris Jacomb, Richard Walter and Chris
    REVIEW OF THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF FOVEAUX STRAIT, NEW ZEALAND CHRIS JACOMB, RICHARD WALTER and CHRIS JENNINGS University of Otago The waters and shores of Foveaux Strait make up one of the coldest, windiest environments in New Zealand and, lying well outside the tropical horticulture zone, could not have been less like the environment of the Polynesian homelands. Yet they contain an extensive archaeological record which includes a low density but wide distribution of sites, as well as some rich artefact assemblages held in private and public collections. The record is not well dated but the few radiocarbon dates and the material culture and economy suggest that occupation commenced as early there as in any other part of the country. In considering why people moved so far south so early, Lockerbie (1959) rejected push factors such as demographic or resource pressures and argued that there must have been some serious attractors (pull factors) in play. Working today with a much shorter chronology, push motives seem even less likely but it is difficult to imagine what the pull factors might have been. Foveaux Strait settlement coincides with the expansion of moa hunting in southern New Zealand but there were never many moa (Dinornithiformes) along the south coast and moa bone is rare in south coast middens. There are resident populations of sea mammals including New Zealand fur seal (Arctocephalus forsterii) and sea lion (Phocarctos hookeri) but these were not restricted to Foveaux Strait (Smith 1989: 208), nor do the sites show high levels of sea mammal predation. Today, one of the most important seasonal resources is the sooty shearwater (mutton bird or titi(Puffinus) griseus) but again, there are no strong archaeological indicators of an early emphasis on mutton birding (Anderson 1995, 2001; Sutton and Marshall 1980).

  • Surf Break Co-Management: Options for the Protection and Enhancement of Surf Breaks in New Zealand
    Surf Break Co-Management: Options for the protection and enhancement of surf breaks in New Zealand Aaron Mark Edwards A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Master of Planning. University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand. 1st November 2012 Abstract The inclusion of surf breaks in the New Zealand Coastal Policy Statement (2010) establishes New Zealand as a potential world leader in surf break protection. The approach is highly dependent upon local authorities being required to give effect to these new policy directives. Providing for these policies requires a multi-faceted approach that includes surf break identification, mapping, monitoring, policy provision, integrated management approaches and evaluation. This presents significant challenges, especially given that most local authorities lack specific surfing expertise. Surf break users have extensive knowledge of local surf breaks and an inherent interest in the preservation of surfing resources, representing a potential aid to local authorities in providing for surf breaks. Surf break policy implementation arguably serves to benefit from the involvement of surf break users in management responses and decision-making processes. This thesis involved a case study of the Auckland and Otago regions to explore surf break user values, the purpose of surf break management and the suitability of surf break co- management within New Zealand’s resource management framework. The study involved an online survey of surf break users and interviews with key stakeholders in the management of surf breaks. A key theme that emerged throughout the research was the desire for surf break management to reflect the needs and vision of local surfing communities.

  • Peter Entwisle in Retrospect & Prospect
    1 ‘Peter Entwisle in Retrospect and Prospect: His contribution to Dunedin’s heritage Peter Entwisle in Retrospect & Prospect Meg Davidson, 17 April 2018 I was close to Peter in the last ten or so years of his life. My talk was the first of a series of lectures on ‘visions of Dunedin’ organised by the Southern Heritage Trust and the Dunedin Public Library and held at the library. My assessment of his contribution to heritage is a personal view, the talk hastily compiled a month after his death on March 14, 2018. … … ‘And sadly, of course, I’ve had to review his activities without access to Peter himself. ‘I miss his long virtuoso flights of fancy on his favourite subjects, and also his ability to deliver a succinct sound-bite. ‘Yesterday I asked David Murray for his thoughts. The tiny pool of Dunedin’s architectural historians is shrinking rapidly. Elizabeth Kerr died last year. Peter was concerned there were few young historians coming up through the ranks. David Murray is a stellar exception. With research skills, a visual memory and a way with words to match Peter’s he is a worthy successor to Peter’s mantle. Here is what David emailed me last night. 2 ‘Thinking about Peter's contribution to built heritage, I couldn't separate in significance three strands: 1) Awareness - bringing to notice themes and specific places, and local successes and failures, many of which would otherwise have been overlooked by the public. 2) Advocacy - again both broadly and regarding specific campaigns for particular sites. I remember him speaking of how his approach to this evolved, and regretting one earlier instance taking a hard line when an opportunity had been offered for a compromise.
