  • 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.

  • 7. Poverty Bay and East Coast
    7. Poverty Bay and East Coast The first fighting in the Poverty Bay and East Coast regions took place in 1865 at Tokomaru Bay, Waiapu and Hicks Bay, mostly between sections of the Ngāti Porou tribe (Cowan 1983 II: 117–123; Soutar 2000). On one side were Pai Marire (‘Hau Hau’) or ‘Kingite’ forces and on the other ‘Queenite’ Māori forces and allied Pākehā. There followed a six-day siege of the Pai Marire pā Waerenga-a-Hika in Poverty Bay in November 1865, resulting in surrender of the pā and the deaths of 11 men on the government side and more than 100 Pai Marire (Cowan 1983 II: 124–128) . On 10 July 1868, Te Kooti Arikirangi and 300 followers landed at Whareongaonga, south of Poverty Bay, having escaped from imprisonment on the Chatham Islands. This led to fighting in the next four years over much of the central and eastern North Island, with fortifications involved at Ngatapa (7.5), inland of Poverty Bay in December 1868 and January 1869, at Whakatane in March 1869 (5.31, 5.34), Mohaka in April 1869 (8.1, 8.6), and in October 1869 at Te Porere (6.15– 16), south of Lake Taupo (Cowan 1983: II ; Binney 1995: 87–208). Fortifications in this section are listed under: • Poverty Bay • East Coast POVERTY BAY 7.1 Crow’s Nest X17/32 (2908600E 6288600N); recorded 1991, update 1999.

  • The Farming of Maori Lands
    THE FARMING OF MAORI LANDS CHARLES GOLDSMITH, Te Araroa We have seen how the Maori inherited his land and how through the process of succession the numbers of the owners increased. I$w were lands with such a multiplicity of ownership to be farmed? Any one owner could start something ‘on his own account, and so could everyone else in the block who had a mind to do so. Trouble started and no one got anywhere. The solution lay in leasing to one of the owners, or some other Maori or European, or by incorporating the block. By the latter means, the Committee of Management could borrow money and farm the land in the interests of all the owners. One block with over 500 owners comprising 16,100 acres of virgin country in the Matakaoa County was incorporated in 1913, with the late Sir Apirana Ngata as the Chairman of the Com- mittee of Management. He was empowered by the Court to borrow on the security of the freehold for the purposes of surveying and development. The block was subdivided into 13 allotments, a community woolshed built, and yards and dip erected. The Committee then granted leases of 21 years with right of renewal to selected and approved owners who had gained know- ledge and experience of farming methods from other incorpora- tions or European settlers, especially from the late Mr T. S. Williams, the “father” of Maori farming oh the East Coast. The lessees were in their turn granted loans from the bank on the security of their leases and stock, backed up by guarantees from the Block Committee.
