  • The Pre 1865 Wairarapa Land Purchase Surveys
    THE PRE 1865 WAIRARAPA LAND PURCHASE SURVEYS A REPORT COMMISSIONED BY THE WAITANGI TRIBUNAL September 1998 Copyright: 'El. Ii. Patterson. Septeinher i WX Introduction For the purposes of the presknt report, the 'Wairarapa1,is detjned as that area of land lying between the Rimutaka and Tararua Ranges and the eastern coastline of the southern North Island, and south of what is recognised as the province of Hawkes Bay. In the mid nineteenth century there was a notional split between what was considered the .Wairarapa proper, 'the valley lands', and the seaward hills and coast, the East Coast. Hence the term Wairarapa districts, rather than district, has been employed. , 3,.. 1:. Pre 1865 the Wairarapa distric&G~rethe location of the most intensive efforts by the Crown to purchase Maori lands in the southern North ~sland.'Estimates of the total acreage secured by the Crown vary greatly, but it may be safely assumed that well over three-quarters of the Maori estate had been alienated by 1865. The conundruin facing concerned researchers is the means by which the alienated acreage, as well as the boundaries and locations of the blocks making up that acreage, can be relatively safely established. As a contribution, specialist advice has been sought on: r The reliability of the original pre 1865 Wairarapa survey plans and field books setting out the extent of Crown purchase transactions r An indication of how the Crown calculated the extent of its property (i.e. purchased Maori land) at c. 1865 r The likely difiiculties to be overcome in reconstructing the pattern of pre 1865 purchases cartographically.

  • A Report Commissioned by the Waitangi Tribunal for the Taranaki
    A Report Commissioned by the Waitangi Tribunal for the Taranaki Claim (Wai 143) Concerning Kumara Kaiamo Pa and Associated Lands of Ngati Mutunga at Urenui by Brian Bargh December 1995 Any conclusions drawn or opinions expressed are tltose of tlte writer Introduction Ngati Mutunga are an iwi descended from the original inhabitants of the Urenui area who had merged with people who arrived on the Tokomaru waka in about 1350 AD.I Their tribal area is in northern Taranaki centred on Urenui (see Figure 1). Their grievance is that their land was confiscated in the 1860s by the Crown contrary to the Treaty ofWaitangi. They presented evidence to this effect to the Waitangi Tribunal in 1991 and had prepared a report at that time on their claim. Ngati Mutunga in their evidence raised the question of their pa at Urenui known as Kumara Kaiamo. They claim that this is an important wahl tapu and that it was confiscated by the Crown and never returned.2 The purpose of this report is to investigate claims made by Ngati Mutunga regarding Kumara Kaiamo pa in order that the Waitangi Tribunal can determine whether or not the Crown was in breach of Treaty principles with respect to the alienation of that land. The Waitangi Tribunal commission for this report is attached as Appendix I. The N gati Mutunga Claim Ngati Mutunga are joint claimants with other Taranaki hapu in Waitangi Tribunal claim Wai 143. Their claim is in essence that the Crown breached the Treaty ofWaitangi by firstly using the military to attack Taranaki Maori in order to obtain their land and later enacting the NZ Settlements Act 1863 which provided for the confiscation of land of any Maori who was deemed to be in rebellion.

  • "A Distressing Lack of Regularity": New Zealand Architecture in the 1850S Date
    "a distressing lack of regularity": New Zealand architecture in the 1850s Date: Friday 7th December 2012 Venue: School of Architecture/Te Wāhanga Waihanga, Victoria University/Te Whare Wānanga o te Ūpoko o te Ika a Māui, Wellington Convener: Christine McCarthy ([email protected]) When Colonel Mould of the Royal Engineers at Auckland reported on behalf of the New Zealand Government on Ben Mountfort's proposed accommodation for Governor Thomas Gore Browne, he queried the design's ability to be ""lastingly pleasing to the eye,"" and identified the building's "distressing lack of regularity." This conference asks whether this phrase, describing Mould's discomfort with Mountfort's picturesque design, might also describe New Zealand's built environment in the 1850s more broadly as it negotiated architectural cultural exchanges, largely resulting from incoming British settlers' "flight from flunkeydom and formality." Philippa Mein Smith refers to a William Strutt drawing to indicate its cultural hybridity, as well as "the power of the "pioneer legend,"" unpinned by the religious ideology of western commerce: "Pioneers tamed the land and, they believed, made it productive as God intended." Provincial Government and a General Assembly were established, following the British Parliament's New Zealand Constitution Act (1852), which also seemingly prompted the originator of New Zealand's systematic colonisation, Edward Gibbon Wakefield, to arrive in New Zealand in 1853. Wakefield, according to Smith, was hopeful of a political career in the colonial government, now made possible by the Act. In the 1850s significant changes to the mechanism of British government in New Zealand occurred: the end of the Crown colony (1841-1853), when a Governor, with an executive council, "ruled" the colony, the appointment of a Resident Magistrate (Archibald Shand) to the Chathams (1855), and the conclusion of George Grey's first governorship in 1853.

  • Soldiers & Colonists
    SOLDIERS & COLONISTS Imperial Soldiers as Settlers in Nineteenth-Century New Zealand John M. McLellan A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Victoria University of Wellington 2017 i Abstract The approximately 18,000 imperial troops who arrived in New Zealand with the British regiments between 1840 and 1870 as garrison and combat troops, did not do so by choice. However, for the more than 3,600 non-commissioned officers and rank and file soldiers who subsequently discharged from the army in New Zealand, and the unknown but significant number of officers who retired in the colony, it was their decision to stay and build civilian lives as soldier settlers in the colony. This thesis investigates three key themes in the histories of soldiers who became settlers: land, familial relationships, and livelihood. In doing so, the study develops an important area of settler colonialism in New Zealand history. Discussion covers the period from the first arrival of soldiers in the 1840s through to the early twentieth century – incorporating the span of the soldier settlers’ lifetimes. The study focuses on selected aspects of the history of nineteenth-century war and settlement. Land is examined through analysis of government statutes and reports, reminiscences, letters, and newspapers, the thesis showing how and why soldier settlers were assisted on to confiscated and alienated Māori land under the Waste Lands and New Zealand Settlement Acts. Attention is also paid to documenting the soldier settlers’ experiences of this process and its problems. Further, it discusses some of the New Zealand settlements in which military land grants were concentrated.

Tamatea Ariki Nui, the captain of Tākitimu, settled in Tauranga, and is buried on top of Mauao, called Mount Maunganui today. Tamatea Ariki Nui had a son called Rongokako, and he had a son called Tamatea Pokai Whenua Pokai Moana, which means “Tamatea explorer of land and sea.” It is from Tamatea Pokai Whenua Pokai Moana that we have the longest place name, located at Porongahau – “Taumatawhakatangihangakōauauatamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronuku pokaiwhenuakitānatahu” where Tamatea Pokai Whenua Pokai Moana played a flute to his lover. It is the son of Tamatea Pokai Whenua Pokai Moana named Kahungunu that Ngāti Kahungunu comes from. Kahungunu travelled widely and eventually settled on the East Coast. His grandson Rakaihikuroa, migrated with his son Taraia, their families and followers, from Nukutaurua on the Māhia Peninsula to Heretaunga (Hawke’s Bay area).

  • SOME NEW PLANT RECORDS for WELLINGTON PROVINCE The
    SOME NEW PLANT RECORDS FOR WELLINGTON PROVINCE R. MASON The Western Lake Road where it runs through a reserve passes within a few yards of the western shore of Lake Wairarapa. Here among the stones at the lake edge on February 8, 1950, several plants which had not been recorded in the district were found growing. Most unexpected perhaps was Isotoma fluviatilis, a small, white- flowered, creeping plant recorded by Cheeseman only for the South Island. It resembles Pratia perpusilla, but its flowers do not have the corolla split down the back as do those of Pratia and the stamens are fixed to the corolla tube. Pratia perpusilla was also growing here but it was not unexpected as it had already been collected on the east side of the lake (4/12/1947). Myriophyllum rotschii, a mossy green plant Math its male flowers dark red, Hydrocotyle tripartita var. hydrophila, with its shining green leaves divided into three, and Mazus pumilio, a herb with white flowers tinged with violet, were also grow­ ing in the same small area. Previously (3/12/1947) Tillaea sinclairii, recorded in the North Island only from Waikanae (Wgtn. Bot. Soc. Bull. No. 19), had been found a few hundred yards further south at the lake edge. On Palliser Bay at the south-west corner of Lake Onoke the red fleshy Tillaea multicaulis was found growing on the gravel (7/12/ 1950). Cheeseman records it from Mt. Torlesse and Broken River basin and a few other places further south, but there is a specimen in the Dominion Museum collected by Petrie from the Awatere River, near Muller Station in mid-February 1922.

  • Department of Lands and Survey – Wellington (LS-W)
    Pandora Research www.nzpictures.co.nz Department of Lands and Survey – Wellington (LS-W) The Department of Lands and Survey was the government's major agency in the administration and management of Crown land and its survey and mapping requirements. The Wellington District Office administered these responsibilities in its region. Survey Office, Wellington Prior to the abolition of the provinces in 1876, survey work was the responsibility of the provincial governments. The Wellington Provincial Surveyor was Henry Jackson but very few records of his office have survived. Carefully supervised systematic survey work dates from the establishment in 1876 of the Survey Department. The first task of the new department appears to have been the supervision of Maori land surveys. After the abolition of the provinces, the Survey Department was given responsibility for checking provincial surveys, many of which were inaccurate. This task was carried out by a number of specially appointed Deputy-Inspectors of Survey. George Watkin Williams was appointed as Deputy-Inspector for the Wellington area and he held the position until March 1879. By this time the post of Deputy-Inspector involved only the supervision of triangulation and reconnaissance surveys and so was abolished sometime in 1879. The records of the Deputy-Inspector were placed in the custody of the newly established Wellington Survey Office. Evening Post 18 Mar 1879 Mr Henry Jackson has received a letter from the Government intimating that, as he declined to resign his appointment as Chief Surveyor of the Wellington Province, he must consider himself dismissed from the Civil Service. As the letter requests Mr Jackson to hand over his papers, &c., to Mr J.
