  • The Parikino Block Claim
    Wai 903, #A22 OFFICIAL RESEARCH REPORT ON THE PARI KINO BLOCK CLAIM WAI 214 Tom Bennion 18 February 1994 Parikino research report 2 Scope of the Research Thi s report is the resul t of one week I s research of the documentary material available and several days writing Up.l The research included a one day visit to the offices of the Maori Land Court and Maori Trustee in Wanganui. I have viewed many of the original land court minutes and files relating to this block and its subdivisions (I was greatly aSSisted by the claimants who provided many papers from the block files and a Maori Trustee file). I have concentrated in particular on subdivision number 7, where, as the evidence shows, urupa are located. I have, in the time available, been able to view many, but by no means all of the relevant papers, and I note below areas which might reward further research. I believe however that the material viewed so far does allow some preliminary conclusions to be drawn about events in this block and the movement of the land out of the hands of the original Maori owners. Research Credentials My name is Thomas Hugh Bennion. In 1987 I graduated from the Victoria University of Wellington with a Bachelor of Laws with honours and a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in history. In 1986-88 I worked part-time as a researcher for the Law Commission on the production of the Commission report The Treaty of Waitangi and Maori Fisheries.

  • In Ngāti Mutunga (1820 – 2019)
    Nā te kōti i tatari: The inconsistent treatment of tikanga taurima (whāngai) in Ngāti Mutunga (1820 – 2019) Matiu Payne A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy At the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand 1 August, 2019. Acknowledgements He kura tangihia, he maimai aroha. Mākū ana te whenua i te roimata, i te auētanga o te whakaaro o te hunga kua whetūrangitia. Kei te mārama taku titiro atu ki maunga Taranaki ki maunga Pipitarawai me ō rāua taketake, ngā takotoranga whakamutunga o ōku huānga, o ōku kaumātua i riro atu ki te pō.

Mā ngā parirau whānui o te kākākura koutou e tauawhi i runga i tō koutou huarahi. Haere, haere, haere atu rā. Many supportive Ngāti Mutunga kaumātua have passed away during the course of this thesis. I spent many hours in discussion, with their warm company, and encouragement. Their knowledge of Ngāti Mutunga history and experiences were invaluable. I wish to acknowledge Uncle Joe and Aunty Goog (Charlene) Tapara, Aunty Teresa Goomes and Uncle Bob Goomes without whom the journey to completion of this PhD Thesis would have been arduous. In my own whānau, Aunty Linda Grennell and Uncle Graeme Grennell have joined our tūpuna (ancestors) throughout the duration of this thesis.

  • Whanganui & Palmerston North
    © Lonely Planet Publications Pty Ltd 252 Whanganui & WHANGANUI & PALMERSTON NORTH NORTH PALMERSTON Palmerston North The Whanganui and Manawatu districts comprise a sizeable chunk of the North Island’s south, running from Tongariro National Park in the north down towards Wellington. This is mellow, pastoral country, draped with rounded green hills, gently bent roads, socially significant cities and magical national parks, rivers and gorges. The history-rich Whanganui River curls through Whanganui National Park down to Whanganui city. Ripe with outdoor opportunities, the splendiferous Whanganui River Rd mimics the river’s bows, while Whanganui itself, a 19th-century river port, has aged grace- fully, recently reinventing itself as a centre for New Zealand glass art. Palmerston North, the Manawatu’s main city, is a town of two peoples: tough-talkin’ country fast-foodies in hotted-up cars and caffeinated Massey University literati, coexisting with none of Cambridge’s ‘Town vs Gown’ sabre-rattling. During the semester the cafes jump and pubs overflow with students. Beyond the city the Manawatu blends rural grace with yesterday’s pace, cut by the dra- matic slice of Manawatu Gorge. A meandering Manawatu drive is the perfect antidote to NZ’s tourism juggernaut – you might even squeeze in a little laziness! HIGHLIGHTS Watching a glass-blowing demonstration at one of Whanganui’s glass studios (p 255 ) Blowing out the cobwebs with a jetboat ride on the Whanganui River (p 263 ) Traversing the rainy Whanganui River Road (p 264 ) – it’s all about
