    IOFFICIALI Wai 903, #A23 PIPIRIKI TOWNSHIP BRIAN HERLIHY & ASSOCIATES This report was commissioned by the Waitangi Tribunal following a claim by the Ranana Trust relating to land in the Pipiriki Township (Wai 428) September 1995 PROPRIETORS OF PIPIRIKI TOWNSHIP NO. 1 7 OTHER BLOCKS INC. (Maori Affairs Act 1953) Pipiriki Township No. 1 Whakaihuwaka C12 Waharangi 7A All correspondence to : Waharangi 7A3 The Secretary Waharangi No. 4 PO Box 282, WANGANUI Telephone/Fax 06 345 4172 20 January 1994 RECEIVED 26.1.94 The Chairman Waitangi Tribunal PO Box 5022, WELLINGTON Dear Sir The Incorporation hereby notifies a Statement of Claim in respect of two parcels of land in Pipiriki Township which it considers should be returned to Maori Ownership from The Crown. (a) Section 24 Block I - Pipiriki Township. This land was originally surveyed in the early 1990’s as a European Cemetery and at that time had three marked graves on it. Since then no further European burials have been made in Pipiriki and it is considered that the parcel of land set aside for a cemetery reserve is extremely excessive especially when compared with similar Maori burial sites in Pipiriki. (b) Sections 1, 2, 3 Block IX - Pipiriki Township. This land was designated a Crown Reserve in 1988 without reference to any persons or organisations as Owners of such land. In both cases the PROPRIETORS OF PIPIRIKI TOWNSHIP NO. 1 AND OTHER BLOCKS INC. is the correct claimant of such land being the body in whom freehold title of Pipiriki Township is vested. This claim is made under the auspices of the Whare Ranana Trust who are administering all such claims in the Pipiriki area presently with the Waitangi Tribunal.

  • The Whanganui River Historians Have Been Studying History for As Long As They Can Remember
    An Abridged History of the Whanganui River Historians have been studying history for as long as they can remember. Much of what they say is very accurate. The following potted history is more accurate than it seems. Long, wide and slow flowing rivers have great difficulty avoiding interesting histories. This is what the Rhine, Nile and Whanganui Rivers have in common. Mount Taranaki started the story when he fled from an enraged Tongariro, who was fairly upset over Taranaki's desires for his wife Pihanga. The trench he left as he headed to the coast filled with water and subsequently became an ideal site for a multisports event, amongst olhcr things. The tangata whenua were the first canoeists to start training on-site. The river teamed with lamprey and eels, and the riverbanks offered easily-defended sites for settlement. The kereru were fat and the water probably didn't need boiling. Aerobic paddling was in vogue. The coming of the pakeha was the coming of change. One of ihe early white visitors to the river valley was Richard Taylor, a missionary whose equivalent today would be recognised by his hairy and well-developed caifs, socks thick with hook grass and an aging Mountain Mule pack. He reached Pipiriki in the early 18-iOs. The settlement then consisted of 295 people, their whare and a chapel. It appears he was most impressed by the wooden hinge on the chapel door and as a result offered to supply windows, and a bell to replace the gun barrel they used as a call signal.
