  • (Māori) Battalion
    Fact sheet 5: The formation of the 28th (Māori) Battalion When the decision was made in October 1939 to form a Māori military unit one suggestion was to call it the ‘Treaty of Waitangi’ battalion. It was felt that this would draw the attention of both Māori and Pākehā to their respective obligations under the Treaty. Article Three of the Treaty spoke of the rights and obligations of British subjects, something Āpirana Ngata saw as ‘the price of citizenship’. He believed that if Māori were to have a say in shaping the future of the nation after the war, they needed to participate fully during it. It was also a matter of pride. As Ngata asked, ‘how can we ever hold up our heads, when the struggle is over, to the question, “Where were you when New Zealand was at war?”’ Officially called the New Zealand 28th (Māori) Battalion, the unit was part of the 2nd New Zealand Division, the fighting arm of the 2nd New Zealand Expeditionary Force (2NZEF). The NZ Division was made up of 15,000- 20,000 men, divided into three infantry brigades (the 4th, 5th and 6th Brigades) plus artillery, engineers, signals, medical and service units. Each brigade initially had three infantry battalions (numbered from 18th to 26th). The 28th (Māori) Battalion was at times attached to each of the Division's three brigades. Each battalion was commanded by a lieutenant-colonel. The Māori Battalion usually contained 700-750 men, divided into five companies. The Māori Battalion’s four rifle companies were organised on a tribal basis: • A Company was based on recruits from

  • Chapter 1: Wairoa District Profile
    Part A – Chapter 1: Wairoa District Profile 1 WAIROA DISTRICT PROFILE 1.1 GENERAL 1.1.1 The Wairoa District is located in northern Hawke’s Bay and extends north from the Waikare River to its boundary with Gisborne District beyond Mahia Peninsula, and contains the Mohaka River Catchment, Lake Waikaremoana and much of Te Urewera National Park. 1.1.2 The District has a total area of about 4,118 square kilometres, including approximately 130km of coastline. It lies within the Hawke’s Bay Region and is bordered by Taupo District to the west, Whakatane District to the north-west, Gisborne District to the north, and Hastings District to the south. 1.2 POPULATION AND SETTLEMENT 1.2.1 The (usually resident) population of the Wairoa District in 1996 was 9,900. The District population has declined since 1971. Between 1991 and 1996, the population has declined by 2.2% (compared to the population growth for New Zealand as a whole, of 7.2%). 1.2.2 At the 1996 Census: • 14.2% of the people in the Wairoa District were aged over 60 compared to the national average of 15.4%. • The proportion of preschool-age children living in the Wairoa District was 9.8% compared with 7.7% for all of New Zealand. • 57.8% of the population considered themselves to belong to the Maori ethnic group compared with all of New Zealand at 15.1%. This has increased significantly since 1991 when 45% of the District’s population considered themselves to be Maori. 1.2.3 Wairoa is the main settlement.

It was then, and will always be, the ‘centre of my Universe’. NGAMOTU TE WHENUA, NGAMOTU TE TURANGAWAEWAE "AUE TE ARIKI AUE", KEI WHEA RA NGA TANGATA O TE HAU KAINGA NEI? The purpose of this research was to explore why the whenua of Ngamotu, and additionally Kihitu, are almost deserted of her people, and why there is so little use of her agriculturally or horticulturally.
