  • 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.

  • AN EXPLORATION INTO WHANGANUI GANG IDENTITY By
    PATCHING UP THE DIFFERENCES: AN EXPLORATION INTO WHANGANUI GANG IDENTITY by Feona Jessica Sayles A thesis submitted to the faculty of Humanities and Cultural Studies, Victoria University of Wellington in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy January 2021 Copyright © Feona Jessica Sayles 2020 All Rights Reserved i ABSTRACT The District Council (Prohibition of Gang Insignia) Act 2009 (‘Gang Insignia Act 2009’) came into force in 2009 and prohibited the ‘display’ of ‘gang insignia’ within ‘specified areas’ of the Whanganui District. The purported aim of the legislation was to reduce intimidation of the public and confrontations between gangs. There was no requirement for intent on the part of the wearer of the insignia. This made the Whanganui gang insignia ban unique in terms of criminal law as it maintained that harm was inflicted due to group identity rather than specific conduct. This raises the question of how an identity can be constructed so that it is considered capable of causing criminal harm. To address this question, this research looked at the ways in which the media contributed to the construction of gang identity during the period of 2004 to 2013. This was achieved through (1) a content analysis of reports from three print newspapers and two online newspapers, (2) a content analysis of reader interactions with the reports, and (3) a textual analysis of two print newspapers. The research was guided by moral panic theory so looked for ways in which the events related to stages or elements of moral panic. The focus of the moral panic was also expanded so as to explore the overall context operating at the particular time.

  • Interim Cultural Values Report: Otamatea Structure Plan Change
    Interim Cultural Values Report: Otamatea Structure Plan Change 17 October 2017 Raukura Waitai and Te Kaahui o Rauru 1 Executive Summary This interim cultural values report is written primarily from a Tamareheroto hapuu perspective, with additional commentary from Te Kaahui o Rauru (TKOR), the iwi governance entity for Ngaa Rauru Kiitahi. Through genealogy and geographic location, Tamareheroto acknowledges descent from both Ngaa Rauru Kiitahi and Whanganui iwi. Whanganui District Council (WDC) has sought to understand cultural perspectives of the area identified as “Otamatea West” as part of a proposed plan change, structure plan and re-zoning to enable residential development, collectively known as Plan Change 46. The hapuu has identified Otamatea West as ancestral land. The cultural values associated with this area are described and together seek to underpin and address: - the need to preserve and protect ancestral heritage; - the wellbeing of the land and its people; and - the desire and right of tangata whenua to reconnect with ancestral lands wrongfully taken as part of the 1848 confiscation. This report also references the discovery of an urupaa (burial site) containing human bones at a nearby site, Rapanui Road, in 2008-09. The hapuu and TKOR seek recognition of the cultural significance of this area. TKOR requests consideration of a new name for the area and reference to its Puutaiao (environmental) Management Plan regarding protection of heritage and values in this process. TKOR also holds concerns about the lack of requiring archaeological surveys or cultural impact assessments prior to recent construction activity in the area, and supports a proposed application for an archaeological site layer over the whole area.
