  • Memory Work on R ¯Ekohu (Chatham Islands) Kingsley Baird
    Memory Connection Volume 3 Number 1 © 2019 The Memory Waka Hokopanopano Ka Toi Moriori (Reigniting Moriori Arts): Memory Work on R ¯ekohu (Chatham Islands) Kingsley Baird Hokopanopano Ka Toi Moriori (Reigniting Moriori Arts): Memory Work on R ¯ekohu (Chatham Islands)—Kingsley Baird Hokopanopano Ka Toi Moriori (Reigniting Moriori Arts): Memory Work on R ¯ekohu (Chatham Islands) Kingsley Baird Abstract Since European discovery of Re¯kohu (Chatham Islands) in 1791, the pacifist Moriori population declined rapidly as a result of introduced diseases (to which they had no immunity) and killing and enslavement by M¯aori iwi (tribes) from the New Zealand ‘mainland’ following their invasion in 1835. When (full-blooded) Tame Horomona Rehe—described on his headstone as the ‘last of the Morioris’— died in 1933, the Moriori were widely considered to be an extinct people. In February 2016, Moriori rangata m¯a tua (elders) and rangatehi (youth), artists and designers, archaeologists, a conservator and an arborist gathered at Ko¯ pinga Marae on Re¯kohu to participate in a w¯a nanga organized by the Hokotehi Moriori Trust. Its purpose was to enlist the combined expertise and commitment of the participants to hokopanopano ka toi Moriori (reignite Moriori arts)—principally those associated with r¯a kau momori (‘carving’ on living ko¯ pi trees)—through discussion, information exchange, speculation, toolmaking and finally, tree carving. In addition to providing a brief cultural and historical background, this paper recounts some of the memory work of the w¯a nanga from the perspective of one of the participants whose fascination for Moriori and the resilience of their culture developed from Michael King’s 1989 book, Moriori: A People Rediscovered.

  • Border Report – Port of Tauranga and Rotorua Airport August 2013
    Border Report – Port of Tauranga and Rotorua Airport August 2013 Purpose A preliminary report to understand the level of risk the Port of Tauranga (POT) and Rotorua Airport present to the Bay of Plenty kiwifruit industry with the intent of determining if the current level of protection is adequate. Background Biosecurity in New Zealand consists of a multi –layer system that begins offshore with pre-border activities, incorporates the border and continues post-border into New Zealand where it becomes a joint effort between central government, regional councils, industry, community groups, and all New Zealanders, (a paper describing this system in more detail can be found on the KVH website www.kvh.org.nz/kiwifruit_biosecurity_risks). This paper will review a single layer, border interventions at ports of entry. Any port of entry has the potential to bring unwanted pests and diseases into New Zealand that could be detrimental to the kiwifruit industry, however, given the high concentration of the kiwifruit industry in the Bay of Plenty, this report has focused on the ports of entry in the immediate proximity to this region, which are the Port of Tauranga and the Rotorua Airport. The Port of Tauranga is New Zealand’s second largest port by container volume, and a major stop on the cruise ship circuit. Rotorua Airport is an International Airport receiving two trans-Tasman flights a week. Imports into POT, cruise ships, and passenger traffic through Rotorua Airport are all potential pathways for risk items to enter New Zealand and each will be reviewed to provide an overview of operations, potential risks that each present and how these risks are being mitigated.

Adsorption of Colour from Pulp and Paper Mill Wastewaters onto Diatomaceous Earths A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Chemistry at The University of Waikato by Shane B Carter 2007 © 2007 Shane B Carter II Abstract Production of pulp and paper from raw wood involves the washing of substantial quantities of highly coloured material from the wood pulp. Although most of this colour is trapped within the mill and the mills wastewater treatment system, discharge of coloured wastewater remains a problem of public concern. Lake Rotorua, New Zealand is filled with sediment consisting almost exclusively of diatoms. The most abundant species, Aulacoseira, has been shown to have very small pores (< 200 nm) that could be very useful for the capture and holding of large organic molecules.
