My name is Alan Dudley Ward. 1 am Emeritus Professor of History at the University of Newcastle, New South Wales. 1 have researched and published extensively in the history of relations between Maori and Palceha for over thirty years and have completed several commissioned reports for the Waitangi Tribunal. These include the 'National Overview' report of the Rangahaua Whanui programme, dated May 1996, where my credentials are stated in full. I 1.2 Sources: TIns overview report concentrates on the area of the Port Nicholson purchase and its immediate environs, only referring to matters beyond that district insofar as they bore closely on customary rightholding within it. It has focused on the years specified in my commission, the 1820s to the 1840s, and particularly upon the years 1834-44, from just prior to the New Zealand Company transactions to the period when the Crown's awards significantly modified the customary rightholding. It appraises a number of reports prepared by historians on behalf of claimants or at the direction of the Tribunal in respect of customary interests, notably those of Ms Penny Ehrhardt, Ms Joy Hippolite and Messrs Richard Boast, Tony Walzl, Duncan Moore, Neville Gilmore and Robert McClean.2 1 have attempted to check their statements both against each other, and against: (a) The evidence in the main published sources - notably the early writings of Elsdon Best, S Percy Smith, Alexander Shand, T W Downes, C Heaphy.3 I Alan Ward, National Overview, Vol I, Waitangi Tribunal Rangahaua Whanui Series, 1997, p.Vl 2 PemlY Ehrhardt, Te Whanganui-a-Tara, Customary Tenure, l750-l850, Waitangi Tribunal Research Series, no 3, 1993; Joy Hippolite, 'Ngati Rangatalll', Wai 145, Doc H4, 1997; Richard Boast, 'Ngati Toa in the Wellington Region', Wai 145 Doc H8 and supporting papers Doc H8(a) andH8(b), 1997 and 'Ngati Toaand the Colonial State',Wai 145, K2, and SUll1illary K2(b), 1998; Tony Walzl, 'Ngati Tama in Wellington (1820-1920)" Wai 145 Doc H7, 1997 and supporting papers Doc H7(a); Duncan Moore, 'The Origins of the Crown's Demesne at Port Nicholson, 1839-1846', Wai 145, Doc E3, E4 and E5, 1995; Neville Gilmore, 'The Myth ofthe Overlords: Tenure in Whanganui a Tara, 1819-1847', Wai 145, G3, 1996; Robert McClean, 'Te Whanganui-a-Tara Foreshores Reclamations Report', Wai 145, Doc 19, 1998 3 Elsdon Best, 'Te Whanganui-a-Tara: Wellington in Pre-Palceha days', Journal of the Polynesian Society, Vol. 10, 1901, pp. 107-165 and 'The Land of Tara and they who settled it' , Journal ofthe Polynesian Society, Vol. 26, 1917, pp. 143-69, and Vol. 27, pp. 21-25, 49-71, 99- i ,b) A reading, so far as time allowed, of the main unpublished primary sources, notably the Old Land Claims records of the NZ Company claims and other claims in the Port Nicholson area, and a selection of the Native Land Court minute books focused upon that area.4 I have focussed upon the record of initial hearings in the Port Nicholson area in the Wellington, Otald and Wairarapa minute books, and scanned other minute books by means of the University of Aucldand Library index of block names, individual names and hapu names. My lmowledge of Te Reo Maori is limited but I have had access to translations ofNLC Wellington Minute Book 1 H by Dr Angela Ballara and to a selection of relevant references in Maori language sources in the Alexander Turnbull Library by Mr Steven Chrisp.5 (c) The independent scholarly research of Dr Ann Parsonson and Dr Angela Ballara. The work ofthese two scholars commends itself above all the other writings cited, for three reasons: (i) It is pure academic research, not shaped by the Treaty claims processes or by any particular claims within them. Dr Parsonson's PhD thesis 'He whenua te utu (the payment will be land)' was completed in 1978.6 Dr Ballara's research for her doctoral thesis 'The maldng ofNgati Kahungunu' began in the early 1980s.7 The thesis was completed in 1991 but a chapter derived 114, 165-77 and Vol. 28, pp. 1-17, 79-96, 123-33; S Percy Smith, History and Traditions ofthe Maori ofthe West Coast North Island ofNew Zealand Prior to 1840, New Plymouth, Polynesian Society, 1910, and Maori Wars of the Nineteenth Century, 1910; Alexander Shand, 'The Occupation ofthe Chatham Islands by the Maoris in 1835', Journal ofthe Polynesian Society, Vol. 1, 1892, pp. 83-94, 154-63,202-9 and VoL 2, pp. 74-86; T W Downes, 'Life of the Ngati Kahu-ngunu Chief Nulru-Pewapewa', Transactions and Proceedings of the New Zealand Institute, 45, 1912, pp.364-375; Charles Heaphy, 'Notes on Port Nicholson and the Natives in 1839', Transactions and Proceedings ofthe New Zealand Institute, 12, 1879, pp.32-39 4 The Old Land Claims records and Native Land Court minute books are held at National Archives (NA), Wellington 5 Angela Ballara, 'Translation of Maori Verbatim Evidence, Wellington Native Land Court Minute Book IH', Wai 145, Doc J6, 1998; Steven Chrisp, 'Sources ofMuaupoko History in the Port Nicholson Deed District: Sources Held in the Alexander Turnbull Library', Wai 145, Doc J7, 1998 and 'Sources for Rangitane History in the Port Nicholson Deed District: Sources Held in the Alexander Turnbull Library', Wai 145, Doc J8, 1998 6 Ann Parsonson, 'He Whenua te Utu: the Payment will be Land', PhD Thesis, University of Canterbury, 1978 7 Angela Ballara, 'The Origins of Ngati Kahungunu', PhD Thesis, Victoria University of Wellington, 1991 ii ..rom the research and entitled 'Te Whanganui-a-Tara: phases of Maori occupation of Wellington Harbour c. 1800-1840' was published in 1990, in the sesqui-centennial volume The Making of Wellington 1800-1840, edited by David Hamer and Roberta Nicholls.8 Following further research on other districts of New Zealand Dr Ballara published her book Iwi: the dynamics of Maori tribal organisation.from c.1769 to c.1945 earlier this year.9 (ii) It is far more exhaustive of primary source material than any of the recent submissions to the Tribunal concerning the Wellington Tenths claims. Both scholars read Land Court minutes and other manuscript sources, in both English and Maori, for many years, together with published and unpublished New Zealand and British official records, not to mention the various published sources such as the early writings of Best, Smith and others. Almost all the recent writers of claim submissions draw upon Parsonson's and Ballara's work to some extent. (iii) Their work is deeply analytical as to the stmcture and functioning of Maori society, its belief and value systems and the various ways by which Maori rights to land were gained and strengthened or wealcened and lost. Unlike any of the reports for claimants, they explicate the relevant social principles and processes and then show how these operated in practice, in the dynamic situations of migration and war, among all the interacting tribes in various districts, including Te Whanganui-a-Tara. Dr Parsonson's work is the most detailed in respect of the heke from Kawhia and Taranald into Te Whanganui-a-Tara; Dr Ballara's on the rights of the previous occupants, and the changing patterns of occupancy in the harbour and its environs as the heke arrived. 1.3 Weighting of evidence: (a) It is well known that all historical evidence is incomplete and partial. It reflects the perceptions and intentions of its authors, inadvertently or sometimes deliberately. The professional historian, writing at a later age, has to try to piece it together to malce as complete and accurate a picture as possible.

  • Rethinking Arboreal Heritage for Twenty-First-Century Aotearoa New Zealand

    Rethinking Arboreal Heritage for Twenty-First-Century Aotearoa New Zealand

    NATURAL MONUMENTS: RETHINKING ARBOREAL HERITAGE FOR TWENTY-FIRST-CENTURY AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND Susette Goldsmith A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2018 ABSTRACT The twenty-first century is imposing significant challenges on nature in general with the arrival of climate change, and on arboreal heritage in particular through pressures for building expansion. This thesis examines the notion of tree heritage in Aotearoa New Zealand at this current point in time and questions what it is, how it comes about, and what values, meanings and understandings and human and non-human forces are at its heart. While the acknowledgement of arboreal heritage can be regarded as the duty of all New Zealanders, its maintenance and protection are most often perceived to be the responsibility of local authorities and heritage practitioners. This study questions the validity of the evaluation methods currently employed in the tree heritage listing process, tree listing itself, and the efficacy of tree protection provisions. The thesis presents a multiple case study of discrete sites of arboreal heritage that are all associated with a single native tree species—karaka (Corynocarpus laevigatus). The focus of the case studies is not on the trees themselves, however, but on the ways in which the tree sites fill the heritage roles required of them entailing an examination of the complicated networks of trees, people, events, organisations, policies and politics situated within the case studies, and within arboreal heritage itself. Accordingly, the thesis adopts a critical theoretical perspective, informed by various interpretations of Actor Network Theory and Assemblage Theory, and takes a ‘counter-’approach to the authorised heritage discourse introducing a new notion of an ‘unauthorised arboreal heritage discourse’.

McDonald was a member of the fourth Dominion Museum ethnological expedition from Wellington, invited to Waiapu by Apirana Ngata to record ancestral tikanga ‘practices’ that he feared were disappearing. Despite the criticism of ethnographic “othering” in the resulting film He Pito Whakaatu i te Noho a te Maori i te Tairawhiti—Scenes of Māori Life on the East Coast, this paper suggests that the fieldwork, from a Ngāti Porou perspective, was assisted and supported by local people. It addresses the entanglements of this event and delineates the background, purpose and results of the documentary photographs and film in relation to Ngata’s cultural reinvigoration agenda. This article also reveals the various relationships, through whakapapa ‘kin networks’ hosting and friendship, between members of the team and local people. Drawing on the 1923 diary kept by Johannes Andersen and on other archival and tribal sources, the author closely analyses these relationships, what Apirana Ngata calls takiaho ‘relational cords’, which are brought to light so that descendants can keep alive these connections through the remaining film fragments and beyond the frame.

  • THE SIGNIFICANCE of the MOTUNUI-WAITARA CLAIM to the WAITANGI TRIBUNAL Paul James and Eric Pawson

    THE SIGNIFICANCE of the MOTUNUI-WAITARA CLAIM to the WAITANGI TRIBUNAL Paul James and Eric Pawson

    CONTESTED PLACES: THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE MOTUNUI-WAITARA CLAIM TO THE WAITANGI TRIBUNAL Paul James and Eric Pawson Introduction The Waitangi Tribunal is the statutory body charged in New Zealand with investigation of Maori grievances against the Crown that stem from alleged breaches of the Treaty of Waitangi.1 In a series of reports the Tribunal has provided a means of demonstrating that places and landscapes do not have single, essential identities. The Motunui-Waitara claim, of the Atiawa people of Taranaki, was the first case dealt with by the Tribunal that received nationwide focus. The Tribunal reported on the claim in 1983. It drew the attention of a broader public to differences between Maori and Pakeha (white settler) concepts of the environment and environmental behaviour, and the ways in which these are expressed in different places. The purpose of this article is therefore to sketch and evaluate the geographies of this particular claim, in order to demonstrate and account for cultural differences in environmental behaviours in a specific place. Central to the account is the concept of place: how people make places and the significance that different peoples attach to different elements of place. Places are therefore taken to be socially constructed and to bear the marks of contestation.2 * The places of the New Zealand landscape, like any other, are not neutral, but reflect power relations and dominant ways of seeing the world.^ Those dominant ways of seeing are sometimes claimed to have 'erased' alternatives, whereas they have rather rendered them hidden through a refusal to read 'other' narratives (in this case, the primarily oral geographies of the Maori).

Jim Wilson was born in Temuka, North Otago. In 1897 he moved north with his parents to Southern Hawke’s Bay when they took up land in the Dannevirke area. In 1907 Wilson brought “Nertherby” his much loved farm located At Hatuma near Waipukurau and lived there for the rest of What proved to be a long and extremely productive life. On a visit to the Dunedin Exhibition in February 1926 “I saw at Newbold’s book shop a beautiful copy of Tasman’s Journal. He wanted 10 pounds – I offered 9. Eventually in July I sent a cheque for 10 pounds and got the book. I well remember the thrill of opening the parcel – it has ever since been the ‘king of my collection’. On my way home from the Dunedin Exhibition I called at Smith’s bookshop in Wellington. On the counter were the 2 volumes in one of McKay’s Native Affairs of the South Island. I paid him 4 pounds 10 for it and was so worried about something I forgot to take it away.
