Occupants' Health and Their Living Conditions of Remote Indigenous
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Article Occupants’ Health and Their Living Conditions of Remote Indigenous Communities in New Zealand Bin Su 1,* and Lian Wu 2 1 School of Architecture, Unitec Institute of Technology, 0600 Auckland, New Zealand 2 School of Healthcare and Social Practice, Unitec Institute of Technology, 0600 Auckland, New Zealand; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 29 September 2020; Accepted: 9 November 2020; Published: 11 November 2020 Abstract: The New Zealand Ministry of Health reported that respiratory disease affects 700,000 people, annually costs New Zealand NZ$7.05 billion, and is the third-highest cause of death. The hospitalisation rate for asthma of Maori¯ communities is 2.0 higher than that of other ethnic groups, and hospitalisation rates for deprived homes are 2.3 times higher than those of the least deprived homes. Based on physical data and evidence, which were drawn from a mixed methodology that includes field studies of the indoor microclimate, dust-mite allergens, mould growth, and occupants’ Respiratory Health Survey of a number of sample houses of Maori¯ communities in Minginui, Te Whaiti, Murupara, and Rotorua of New Zealand, the study identifies unhealthy indoor thermal conditions, thresholds or ranges of indoor micro-climate related to different levels of dust-mite allergen and mould growth, the most common type of indoor mould, and correlations between dust-mite and mould and correlations. The study not only identified that the poor health of occupants is closely related to their inadequate living conditions, but also identifies the threshold of indoor micro-climates to maintain indoor allergens at the acceptable level, which can be used as a guideline to maintain or improve indoor health conditions for future housing development or retrofitted old housing. -
Archaeology of the Bay of Plenty
Figure 10. Pa at Ruatoki, of Plenty region. This is a plausible date for this region, as can be seen W16/167. from the individual site reviews. It shows that the emergence of a perceived need for security in the region occurred as early there as anywhere else in New Zealand. 9.2.3 Terraces Terrace sites are common in the Bay of Plenty and may or may not be associated with pits or midden. As noted in the section under pits in the field records, terrace sites are more likely to have midden associated with them than are pit sites, which is consistent with terraces having a primarily domestic (housing) function. On excavation, terraces often turn out to be part of wider site complexes. In the Kawerau area, the Tarawera lapilli has filled most pits, so that the sites appear now as if they were simple terrace sites only. O’Keefe (1991) has extracted the number of terraces per site from the recorded sites in the western Bay of Plenty. Single terraces occur most frequently, and the frequency of sites with larger numbers of terraces decreases regularly up to sites with about nine terraces. Thereafter, sites with larger numbers of terraces are more frequent than would be expected. This indicates that sites with ten or more terraces comprise a different population, perhaps the result of construction under different social circumstances than the smaller sites. Undefended occupation sites are represented in the excavation record, most notably the Maruka research project at Kawerau (Lawlor 1981; Walton 1981; Furey 1983). Elsewhere in New Zealand, records indicate that some undefended sites have had long occupancies, and have yielded reasonably numerous artefacts. -
Hydrodictyon Reticulatum) in Lake Aniwhenua, New Zealand
WELLS, CLAYTON: IMPACTS OF WATER NET 55 Ecological impacts of water net (Hydrodictyon reticulatum) in Lake Aniwhenua, New Zealand Rohan D. S. Wells and John S. Clayton National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, P.O. Box 11 115, Hamilton, New Zealand (E-mail: [email protected]) Abstract: The ecological impacts of Hydrodictyon reticulatum blooms (1989-94) were studied at Lake Aniwhenua (a constructed lake) in North Island, New Zealand by collating fish, invertebrate and macrophyte data collected towards the end of a four year bloom period and following its decline. Hydrodictyon reticulatum had some localised impacts on the biota of the lake. Some macrophyte beds were smothered to the extent that they collapsed and disappeared, and dense compacted accumulations of H. reticulatum caused localised anoxic conditions while it decayed. However, fish and some invertebrates in the lake benefited from the H. reticulatum blooms. High numbers of Ceriodaphnia sp. (maximum, 5.5 x 104 m-2) were recorded amongst H. reticulatum, and gastropods were exceptionally abundant, the most common being Potamopyrgus antipodarum (maximum, 1.8 x IOS m-2). Hydrodictyon reticulatum was consumed by three species of common gastropods in experimental trials, with Austropeplea tomentosa consuming up to 1.3 g dry weight H. reticulatum g-1,live weight of snail day-1. Gastropods comprised the major portion of the diet of Oncorhynchus mykiss in Lake Aniwhenua during and after the H. reticulatum bloom. A marked peak in sports fishing (with exceptional sizes and numbers of fish caught) coincided with the period of H. reticulatum blooms and the abundant invertebrate food source associated with the blooms. -

Nan's Stories
BYRON RANGIWAI Nan’s Stories Introduction This paper explores some of the many stories that my grandmother, Rēpora Marion Brown—Nan, told me when growing up and throughout my adult life. Nan was born at Waiōhau in 1940 and died at her home at Murupara in 2017. Nan was married to Papa— Edward Tapuirikawa Brown. Nan and Papa lived on Kōwhai Avenue in Murupara. Nan’s parents were Koro Ted (Hāpurona Edward (Ted) Maki Nātana) and Nanny Pare (Pare Koekoeā Rikiriki). Koro Ted and Nanny Pare lived around the corner from her on Miro Drive. My sister and I were raised on the same street as my great-grandparents, just six or seven houses away. I could see Koro Ted’s house— located on a slight hill—from my bedroom window. Byron Rangiwai is a Lecturer in the Master of Applied Indigenous Knowledge programme in Māngere. 2 Nan’s Stories Figure 1. Koro Ted and Nanny Pare (see Figure 2; B. Rangiwai, personal collection) Koura and Patuheuheu Nan often talked about her Patuheuheu hapū and her ancestor, Koura (see Figure 2). In a battle between Ngāti Rongo and Ngāti Awa, Koura’s mokopuna was killed. (Rangiwai, 2018). To memorialise this tragedy, a section of Ngāti Rongo was renamed, Patuheuheu (Rangiwai, 2018, 2021b). Te Kaharoa, vol. 14, 2021, ISSN 1178-6035 Nan’s Stories 3 Figure 2. Whakapapa Koura was a Ngāti Rongo and Patuheuheu chief who resided at Horomanga in the 1830s and was closely connected with Ngāti Manawa (Mead & Phillis, 1982; Waitangi Tribunal, 2002). Local history maintains that Koura was responsible for upholding and retaining the mana of Tūhoe in the Te Whaiti, Murupara, Horomanga, Te Houhi and Waiōhau areas (Rangiwai, 2018). -
