The W Aiohau Blocks Scoping Report TEUREWERA RANGAHAUA WHAANUI DISTRICT THE W AIOHAU BLOCKS SCOPING REPORT Wayne WW Taitoko August 1999 SCOPING REPORT The Waiohau Land Blocks - The Urewera Inquiry WAI 36, WAI 40, WAI 212, WAI 247, WAI 560, WAI 726 August 1999 Wayne WW Taitoko Introduction My name is Wayne Taitoko and I am a researcher with the Waitangi Tribunal. I am of Tainui descent and have been a public servant for over twenty years, culminating in my appointment as a Registrar of the Maori Land Court. I was part of the research/negotiation team associated with the Tainui Raupatu claim and have lectured in Maori studies at Waikato University, Hamilton. I hold a bachelor of Social Science degree in Maori and Geography from Waikato University and completed a Waitangi Tribunal research commission - 'A History of the Tokanui Blocks' for the Waitangi Tribunal claim Wai 440. Terms of Reference This scoping report has been produced as the result of a Tribunal commission to undertake a study of the Waiohau blocks, situated in the Urewera District. As well as forming part of the research requirements of the inquiry casebook, the Waiohau blocks have been specifically referred to by a number of the claimants in their statements of claim. The aim of this project, therefore, is to identify the sources of information relevant to the Waiohau block history and to identify the main issues associated with the block. These issues will be determined from the various statements of claim and research work already undertaken in respect of the overall Urewera district inquiry. 2 The Claims The Urewera Rangahaua Whaanui District comprises some 14 core claims (both registered and unregistered). The proposed district also has three lmown overlapping claims, which could possibly be included in the Urewera inquiry. Over and above these, the district also has at least seven claims which partially overlap with the Urewera district. These claims allege breaches of the Treaty in respect of a number of issues, including; • Raupatu and the New Zealand Settlements Act • The Ruatoki- Waiohau Consolidation Scheme • Crown purchase of individual shares • The Urewera District Native Reserve Act 1896 • The Native Land Court • Public Works takings • The Urewera Lands Act 1921 • The Urewera Commissions • Lake Waikaremoana • The Matahina blocks • The Tuararangaia blocks • The Waikokopu block • Rivers, harbours and fisheries • Minginui forest, and l • The Te Whaiti blocks The Specific Claims As well as the above, a number of the claimants have also specifically cited lands in the Waiohau area and identified acts or omissions by the Crown in respect of these lands. These are summarised below. 1 The Urewera Strategic Overview Report. 1998. WT. Wellington (Draft).

Report Themes In identifying parts of the Waiohau block in their statements of claim, a number of the claimants have also identified the Crowns actions, errors and omissions as foundations for their claims. The report will therefore focus on how these (and other) actions have affected Tuhoe interests in the Waiohau block. No direct discussions have taken place with claimants, however, in terms ofthe scope of this report, there is sufficient evidence to identify the main themes. 6 WAr 560 Record of Documents. WT. Wellington. 1999. 7 WAI 726 Record of Documents. WT. Wellington. 1999. 5 In order to adequately traverse the main issues associated with the Waiohau blocks, however, it is important to establish the title history of the blocks. The main theme of the report will therefore be to chronicle this history. From the block's creation in 1878, through the various changes in title, partitions, sales, leases and other alienations, through the Ruatoki-Waiohau Consolidation Scheme and a complete change in title, through to the present day and the current status of the Waiohau titles. Key Issues It is envisaged that the report will cover the following issues: The Native Land Court/Maaori Land Court The claimants have identified particular actions of the Native Land Court (and subsequently, the Maaori Land Court) which adversely affected their rights of ownership and use of their land. Furthermore, they cite instances where land has been irrevocably lost to them because of the various actions of the Court, the Crown and their agents. Tuhoe felt the impact of the Native Land Court, not only in broad terms, but also with respect to specific areas and blocks. The report will examine the policies, actions and outcomes of the Native Land Court and the Crown within the framework of the contentions made by the claimants. A further impact was the introduction, in the 1920s, ofthe Ruatoki-Waiohau Consolidation Scheme. The report will examine its functions and outcomes, with particular reference to the Waiohau blocks and determine the effects this scheme had on historical and contemporary ownership. The Urewera Commissions and The Ruatoki-Waiohau Consolidation Scheme Toward the end of the 1890s over 600,000 acres ofland in the Urewera was without title and formal ownership. Investigations into these lands took the form of commissions, specifically set up to hear and determine claims to land in the Urewera. The first, chaired by S Percy Smith, sat between 1899 and 1902 and largely investigated claims to land, made 6 determinations of title and subsequently dealt with a large volume of appeals against their decisions. Its successor, the second Urewera commission, sat from 1906 to 1907 and spent much of that two years dealing with the major hapuu appeals concerning creation oftitle and ownership lists in the Urewera. Furthermore, the establishment of the Royal Commission on Native Lands and Native Land Tenure (referred to as the Stout-Ngata native land commission) in 1907 also exacerbated Tuhoe's attempts to gain control oftheir lands. Whilst the Waiohau blocks had already undergone their investigation through the Native Land Court by the time the first commission sat, they would nevertheless be affected by the legacy of these commissions. One of the major affects was the subsequent Crown policy to purchase land and individual shares in land from the owners, so that by the 1920s the Crown had gained quite a significant foothold in the Urewera. This policy would eventually lead to the Ruatoki consolidation scheme. This scheme was subsequently followed by the Ruatoki­ Waiohau scheme, which would irrevocably change the titles, boundaries and ownership of the Waiohau blocks. The report will therefore examine these commissions, within the context of the Waiohau block history and their relationship to the Ruatoki-Waiohau Consolidation scheme. It will also conduct an in-depth analysis of the scheme and the effect it had on post 1920 ownership ofland in the Waiohau blocks. Crown Purchases/Acquisitions The relatively isolated nature of the Urewera lands meant that Crown acquisition of land did not start in earnest until the late 1870s. The Crown had earlier" .. .instituted a programme of large scale purchasing throughout the Bay of Plenty-Taupo region ... ,,8 which would eventually extend into the heart of the Urewera region. Whilst the initial impact would be felt in the Ruatoki area, the Waiohau blocks were eventually subjected to this process and the subsequent reduction in land available to the owners. 8 Rose, K, The Bait and the Hook. "Crown Purchasing in Taupo arid the Central Bay of Plenty in the 1870's" p.l.CFRT.1997. 7 The report will therefore seek to establish the circumstances surrounding this process with the intention of identifying what areas and/or shares were acquired from the owners. It will also identify the key proponents, both from the Crown and Maaori and the role they played in this process. The report will seek to establish whether or not Maaori were willing participants in the process and whether the transactions were fair and transparent. Surveys/Survey Liens One of the key contentions made by the claimants has been the loss of land, particularly through surveys. The report will examine Crown policy, both generally and specifically, in respect of surveys. It will also highlight the alleged opposition to the survey of land by landowners in the Waiohau. However, the main focus of the report will be the taking ofland in lieu of these surveys.

  • Nan's Stories
    BYRON RANGIWAI Nan’s Stories Introduction This paper explores some of the many stories that my grandmother, Rēpora Marion Brown—Nan, told me when growing up and throughout my adult life. Nan was born at Waiōhau in 1940 and died at her home at Murupara in 2017. Nan was married to Papa— Edward Tapuirikawa Brown. Nan and Papa lived on Kōwhai Avenue in Murupara. Nan’s parents were Koro Ted (Hāpurona Edward (Ted) Maki Nātana) and Nanny Pare (Pare Koekoeā Rikiriki). Koro Ted and Nanny Pare lived around the corner from her on Miro Drive. My sister and I were raised on the same street as my great-grandparents, just six or seven houses away. I could see Koro Ted’s house— located on a slight hill—from my bedroom window. Byron Rangiwai is a Lecturer in the Master of Applied Indigenous Knowledge programme in Māngere. 2 Nan’s Stories Figure 1. Koro Ted and Nanny Pare (see Figure 2; B. Rangiwai, personal collection) Koura and Patuheuheu Nan often talked about her Patuheuheu hapū and her ancestor, Koura (see Figure 2). In a battle between Ngāti Rongo and Ngāti Awa, Koura’s mokopuna was killed. (Rangiwai, 2018). To memorialise this tragedy, a section of Ngāti Rongo was renamed, Patuheuheu (Rangiwai, 2018, 2021b). Te Kaharoa, vol. 14, 2021, ISSN 1178-6035 Nan’s Stories 3 Figure 2. Whakapapa Koura was a Ngāti Rongo and Patuheuheu chief who resided at Horomanga in the 1830s and was closely connected with Ngāti Manawa (Mead & Phillis, 1982; Waitangi Tribunal, 2002). Local history maintains that Koura was responsible for upholding and retaining the mana of Tūhoe in the Te Whaiti, Murupara, Horomanga, Te Houhi and Waiōhau areas (Rangiwai, 2018).

TE WAIRUA KŌMINGOMINGO O TE MĀORI THE SPIRITUAL WHIRLWIND OF THE MĀORI A thesis presented for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in Māori Studies Massey University Palmerston North, New Zealand Te Waaka Melbourne 2011 Abstract This thesis examines Māori spirituality reflected in the customary words Te Wairua Kōmingomingo o te Maori. Within these words Te Wairua Kōmingomingo o te Māori; the past and present creates the dialogue sources of Māori understandings of its spirituality formed as it were to the intellect of Māori land, language, and the universe. This is especially exemplified within the confinements of the marae, a place to create new ongoing spiritual synergies and evolving dialogues for Māori. The marae is the basis for meaningful cultural epistemological tikanga Māori customs and traditions which is revered. Marae throughout Aotearoa is of course the preservation of the cultural and intellectual rights of what Māori hold as mana (prestige), tapu (sacred), ihi (essence) and wehi (respect) – their tino rangatiratanga (sovereignty). This thesis therefore argues that while Christianity has taken a strong hold on Māori spirituality in the circumstances we find ourselves, never-the-less, the customary, and traditional sources of the marae continue to breath life into Māori. This thesis also points to the arrival of the Church Missionary Society which impacted greatly on Māori society and accelerated the advancement of colonisation.

  • Urban Maori Authorities
    BYRON WILLIAM RANGIWAI Te Umutaoroa, Patuheuheu and Ngāti Haka: Towards a Prophetic Model for Unity and Transformation Introduction This article explores the emergence of a prophecy called Te Umutaoroa (earth oven of long cooking), given to Patuheuheu and Ngāti Haka by Te Kooti Arikirangi - a nineteenth century Māori leader whom the government wanted to eliminate. This was a discourse uttered by Te Kooti in 1886 and promised the restoration of all that was taken away from Patuheuheu and Ngāti Haka in the mid 1880s and beyond. This article asserts that Te Kooti was both a prophet and transformational leader. This work is the beginning of a framework for hapū development based on the eight parts or promises contained within Te Kooti‟s Te Umutaoroa prophecy. The purpose of this work is to scope out the „bones‟ of a framework which aims for complete unity between Patuheuheu and Ngāti Haka, and through the united efforts of both hapū, development and positive transformation in the various contexts of the Waiohau community. Patuheuheu and Ngāti Haka are two hapū from the Tūhoe tribe, who have at least for the last two or three generations, argued about the authenticity of the two different hapū identities. Indeed, the author‟s own personal research journey, being of Patuheuheu descent himself, has been peppered with internal struggle and negotiation between these two identities in both historical and contemporary contexts. Elsdon Best (1925) claims that “…three generations ago” (p. 221) when Byron William Rangiwai is a Doctor of Philosophy student at Te Ara Poutama, the Faculty of Maori Development at AUT University.
