  • Auckland Regional Office of Archives New Zealand
    A supplementary finding-aid to the archives relating to Maori Schools held in the Auckland Regional Office of Archives New Zealand MAORI SCHOOL RECORDS, 1879-1969 Archives New Zealand Auckland holds records relating to approximately 449 Maori Schools, which were transferred by the Department of Education. These schools cover the whole of New Zealand. In 1969 the Maori Schools were integrated into the State System. Since then some of the former Maori schools have transferred their records to Archives New Zealand Auckland. Building and Site Files (series 1001) For most schools we hold a Building and Site file. These usually give information on: • the acquisition of land, specifications for the school or teacher’s residence, sometimes a plan. • letters and petitions to the Education Department requesting a school, providing lists of families’ names and ages of children in the local community who would attend a school. (Sometimes the school was never built, or it was some years before the Department agreed to the establishment of a school in the area). The files may also contain other information such as: • initial Inspector’s reports on the pupils and the teacher, and standard of buildings and grounds; • correspondence from the teachers, Education Department and members of the school committee or community; • pre-1920 lists of students’ names may be included. There are no Building and Site files for Church/private Maori schools as those organisations usually erected, paid for and maintained the buildings themselves. Admission Registers (series 1004) provide details such as: - Name of pupil - Date enrolled - Date of birth - Name of parent or guardian - Address - Previous school attended - Years/classes attended - Last date of attendance - Next school or destination Attendance Returns (series 1001 and 1006) provide: - Name of pupil - Age in years and months - Sometimes number of days attended at time of Return Log Books (series 1003) Written by the Head Teacher/Sole Teacher this daily diary includes important events and various activities held at the school.

  • FOTWR-Newsletter-May-2016.Pdf
    Editorial It was pointed out in the recent AGM that we have been living beyond our means. In the past, we could cope with a $20 subscription which was enough to enable us to print and mail out our Annuals and newsletters. The subscription was raised to $25 some years ago, which kept the wolf from the door. But inflation has taken its toll and unfortunately, the subscription has been raised again. It should now be some $38, but we have kept the increase to $35 for now and are seeking further sources of income. As well, we would like to send out our newsletters by email to all those who have email addresses. This will cut our postage bill considerably, a necessary step since the cost of postage is due to increase in July. This newsletter has been formatted to allow us to eliminate the cost of envelopes for those newsletters which must be posted. It may be necessary to charge members whose newsletters are sent by ordinary mail, an extra amount to cover postage. AGM There were about 25 members present at the AGM, which was held at the Riverboat Centre on April 17th, 2016. Three of our committee stalwarts: Pauline Walton (Treasurer/Membership); Gloria Barr (Secretary), and Murray Laing offered their resignations which were accepted with regret. They, plus Alan Donald (our Chairman), were given Certificates of Appreciation for their service over the years. Robert Wills was also to have received a Certificate, but he unfortunately was absent. Pauline Walton was also made a Life Member as a reward for her very many years of service to the Friends.

My name is Maria Bartlett. 2. I joined Toitū te Whenua, the environmental unit of Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu (“Te Rūnanga”) on 21 February 2011. 3. I was seconded to Toitū te Whenua from the Consents section of Environment Canterbury for a year as part of the Tuia programme between Ngāi Tahu and the regional council. 4. Prior to my secondment I had spent the better part of ten years processing resource consents for Environment Canterbury, with a focus on surface water consents and river works in the Waitaki catchment and south of the Rakaia river. This included co-ordinating consents for the Project Aqua proposal of Meridian Energy Limited for the Lower Waitaki River, participation in development of the Waitaki Catchment Water Allocation Regional Plan, co-ordination of consents in the Upper Waitaki Catchment and presentation of evidence at the hearings that followed. 5. Since arriving at Te Rūnanga, in addition to engaging in Resource Management Act processes and reforms of the local government sector, I have spent the last three and half years working on the minerals, oil and gas kaupapa, beginning with response to individual mining permit applications notified to Te Rūnanga by NZ Petroleum & Minerals (NZPAM) in accordance with the Crown Minerals Act.

Here is the Waitangi Tribunal’s report on its inquiry into 83 claims submitted by Māori of the Whanganui inquiry district. These claims focused principally on the relationship between tangata whenua and their land. The report can be viewed as a companion to the Tribunal’s Whanganui River report of 1999, on which the Crown concluded a settlement last year. It should not come as a surprise that the process of colonisation in Whanganui did not evolve in a way that was consistent with the Treaty of Waitangi, and especially the guarantee of te tino rangatiratanga in the Māori text.

  • How the River Was Taken
    CHAPTER 6 HOW THE RIVER WAS TAKEN 6.1 Introduction The river passed from Maori control partly through the application of English law River passed primarily through but primarily through the operation of New Zealand statutes. It did not result from parliamentary the sale and purchase of riparian land or from negotiations with Atihaunui. In the intervention ånal analysis, it came about because the New Zealand Government had assumed and had then acquired, in fact, an unbridled power over the Maori people. This chapter considers the statutory process and Maori objections. 6.2 The Statutory Regime Earlier, we introduced the raft of legislation over years by which the Government General statutes on water and statutes assumed control of rivers and water for agricultural, industrial, drainage, town, speciåc to and recreational purposes. This was traced from ordinances of 1864 for water- Whanganui powered ëourmills and sawmills through to statutes on water rights for mining, irrigation, and hydroelectricity, beginning with the Gold Fields Act 1862 and culminating in the Resource Management Act 1991. Provisions to secure rivers for transport were considered, beginning with the Timber Floating Act 1873, and also measures for ëood protection, such as the River Boards Act 1884. These consolidated the Government’s control over rivers and water, regulating potential conëict between farming, mining, and industrial interests, preventing monopolies and assuring public access, though rarely with thought for Maori customary usages. Here, we are concerned with statutes more speciåc to the Whanganui River. 6.2.1 Enabling legislation for the port From 1854, the Government was in the settlers’ control.

  • Including Cultural Impact Assessment
    Memorandum To: Alex Erceg, Southland Regional Council From: Doyle Richardson, Alliance Group Limited Date: 30 September 2019 Re: APP – 20191339 Further Information Request under Section 92(1) of the Resource Management Act 1991: Part 2 INTRODUCTION Alliance Group Limited (Alliance) provided a response to the questions 1 - 4 contained in Council’s letter dated 5 July 2019 requesting further information on APP – 20191339 on 9 August 2019. In response to questions 5 and 6 Alliance provides the following further information. RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS 5 AND 6 Question 5: A cultural impact assessment which relates to all the proposed activities including the damming and diversion of water Attached to this memorandum are: a) An initial Cultural Impact Assessment (CIA) document prepare by TAMI (refer to Attachment 1). b) CIA documents subsequently prepared by Aukaha. There are two documents, the first addresses the wastewater discharge (refer to Attachment 2); the second the various other activities for which consent has been sought (refer to Attachment 3). c) Minutes of a meeting held between representatives of Aukaha, Hokonui Rūnanga and Alliance following receipt of the Aukaha wastewater CIA document (refer to Attachment 4). This includes discussion on how the eight recommendations in the Aukaha wastewater CIA document may be actioned. Alliance understands the two Aukaha CIA documents capture fully the issues identified in the TAMI CIA and provide recommendations for how those issues could be addressed.
