POLICIES AND PROPHECIES Aspects of Government Native Policy in Taranaki 1878-1884 A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History at Massey University Hazel Riseborough 1987 11 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the government's reactions to the pacific resistance offered by the resident Maod ttibes to the survey for sale and settlement of confiscated lands between Hawera and New Plymouth. on the west coast of the Nm1h Island of New Zealand, in the years 1878-1884. Successive governments neglected to honour the promises to make reserves contained in the legislation confiscating the land and, by treating those who protested this neglect as infatuated followers of deluded prophets and refusing to consider their legitimate grievances. helped create in Taranaki a centre of disaffection which they perceived as a threat to the colony. This study looks first at the existing literature on the events in question, and then at the acts and proclamations of confiscation and the promises contained therein. The main body of the thesis. chapters three through seven. is a chronological study of the years from 1878 to 1884. When the government attempted to enforce the confiscation on the Waimate plains by surveying for sale before making any effort to delimit the promised reserves. the resident tribes protested first by removing the surveyors. then by ploughing the disputed lands and finally by fencing across the roads which cut through their cultivations. The government chose to interpret Maori protest as a denial of the confiscation and a challenge to European supremacy. Under intense settler pressure the government responded by arresting almost four hundred ploughmen and fencers and finally two prominent Taranaki chiefs. and passing legislation which enabled them to imptison and hold the protesters without trial for up to two years in South Island goals. The injustice done the Taranaki people stemmed more from a determination on the part of the European to force the Maori to submit to European law and admit to European supremacy. than from a greed for land. The government's aim was to end Maori isolation by settling a close European population on the coast in an effort to destroy Maori separatism and self determination. The stand the Taranaki people took in defence of their rights was finally vindicated, yet the grievances remain. and the events of the 'Pa1ihaka years' are a reminder of the issues which lie behind continuing Maori efforts to have those grievances righted. lll CONTENTS Page Abstract 11 Maps iv Preface V Introduction Vll Chapter One The Parihaka Years Two Muru Raupatu : Confiscation 25 Three The Survey of the Waimate Plains 50 Four Challenge to the Confiscation 75 Five Response to the Challenge 112 Six The Road to Patihaka !59 Seven Aftermath 220 Eight A Question of Mana 268 Bibliography 283 iv MAPS After Page Not1h Island : Confiscated Lands 24 Waimate Plains 49 West Coast : Plan of the Confiscated Tenitory 292 V PREFACE A word of explanation is needed on the terminology employed in this study. Taranaki is used in European documentary sources to refer to a wider provincial dishict rather than a ttibal area. It comptises seven main ttibes tracing their descent from at least three canoes. yet it has the cohesion of a tribal district. a cohesion which stems from a cause, a grievance: land confiscation. One of the tdbes. Te Ati Awa, is always referred to in the documentary sources as Ngatiawa. so this term has been retained. Natives and native affairs are inescapable terms in reference to nineteenth century New Zealand. Not until 194 7 was the word Maori substituted for native in all official usage. The emotive terms rebel and loyal native describe the views of the Europeans who bestowed the terms rather than of those on whom they were bestowed. I have refrained from the use of parentheses which might indicate disapproval of the terms but would serve only to clutter the text. I have also refrained from underlining words or otherwise treating Maori as though it were a foreign language. Those who are not yet familiar vv ith basic Maori terminology would be better served by a teacher of Maori language and culture than by a simplistic and possibly misleading word list. The Appendices to the Journals of the House of Representatives and the New Zealand Parliamentary Debates are a rich source of information on the period under study, and the reports of the Royal Commission appointed under the Confiscated Lands Inquiry and Maori Prisoners· Trials Act. 1879. are especially valuable. Unfortunately many papers such as police files have simply "disappeared". and the important Maod Affairs Depattment files known as the West Coast Papers were destroyed by tire. so a vast body of material has been lost to researchers . What remains is scattered through lands. police. legislative . justice and governors· files in the National Archives and especially in various ministerial papers in the Alexander Turnbul l Library. A certain amount of material never published in New Zealand was printed in the British Parliamentary Papers: the Irish University Press series vi (here abbreviated I UP since the pagination refers to that series and not to the 01i ginal) is a useful source of infotmation not otherwise easily accessible.

Maori frustration resulting from the confiscation has been vatiously expressed over the years by fut1her mmed resistance. by pacific resistance to the enforcement of the confiscation. and by the presentation of a series of petitions to parliament. This thesis examines the government's reactions to the pacific resistance offered by the west coast people to the survey for sale and settlement of the lands between Hawera and New Plymouth before any effort had been made to delimit the reserves promised by the acts and proclamations of confiscation. It is a study of policies and personalities at a time of intense feelings and reactions resulting from cultural misunderstanding and racial intolerance. In refusing to consider the legitimate gtievances of the Maoti . the government helped create in Taranaki a centre of disaffection which they perceived as a threat to the colony. The discord that arose between the government and the Ma01i people on the west coast is better explained in tetms of political and financia expediency , clashes of personality. and ideas of racial superiority than by any physical threat posed by the resident ttibes. But Maori protest at the government· s failure to set aside the promised reserves was interpreted as a challenge to the confiscation and was treated as a sign of fanaticism and infatuation. even as a manifestation of the determination of the Maori to establish themselves once more as the dominant race. This thesis does not seek to probe the philosophy behind Maori responses to injustice, but it is clear that successive governments found it expedient to misinterpret reasonable Maoti demands. and they chose to deal with the ensuing situation not by granting reserves. but by passing some quite iniquitous legislation which enabled them to imprison without trial two prominent Taranaki chiefs and several hundred of their fo llowers for a period of up to two years in South Island gaols. Vlll This study argues that the injustice clone the Taranaki people stemmed more from a determination on the pati of the European to fo rce the Maori to submit to European law and admit to European supremacy than fro m a greed for land. The European already possessed the land through confiscation. and the government was determined that Europeans would occupy it. But much more than land was at stake. The government's aim was to end Maoti isolation by settling a close European population in the area in an effoti to destroy Maori separatism and self detetmination. By separating the Maori people from the land they sought to destroy their mana motuhake. In the end a minimal area of land was in contention: the seaward Parihaka block of ten to fifteen thousand acres.

  • Southern Taranaki Settlers Fled. Still, I Do Not See How the Maori, Heavily Outnumbered, Had Any Hope of Winning the War. As
    200 REVIEWS southern Taranaki settlers fled. Still, I do not see how the Maori, heavily outnumbered, had any hope of winning the war. As always, James Belich writes well and wittily, a gift not given to all our historians. The story is exciting, the pace rapid. Maori boys are massacred, prisoners killed — by kupapa. One section is written like a novel, inviting us to visit Whanganui in 1868 and engage in various activities such as visiting the kupapa leader, Mete Kingi, stopping for a morning draught at James Cathro's hotel, and so on. This comes off very well. The only problem is that, while we feel sure that it could be documented, there are no footnotes, only lists of sources for each chapter, so that we cannot follow up, at all easily, any point which interests us. During a recent discussion of the' new history', Dr Belich said that previous historians had forced their readers to 'chomp their way through a dry muesli'. Presumably he belongs to a 'snap, crackle, pop' school of history. Dr Belich is particularly good at writing pen-portraits of his characters, such as Colonels Whitmore and McDonnell, and Titokowaru, but at least once he misses a trick. He says that E. W. Stafford, the longest serving nineteenth-century Premier, had (and he. quotes someone) 'an entire want of social magnetism'. In fact, he was noted for his very great attraction to women: the closeness of his relationships is not known, though an historian is working on it. And a final point, not at all critical: the photograph on p.64 of Lucy Takiora Dalton appears to be one of another woman, often called 'Queen Victoria' or the Queen of Nukumaru.

J. C. Derby, the V.R.C. Derby, the Oaks, Melbourne Cup, Cox Plate, Auckland Cup (both codes), New Zealand Cup (both codes) and Wellington Cup. Area 1 Row A Robert John Witty. Robert John Witty (‘Peter’ to his friends) was born in Nelson in 1913 and attended Christchurch Boys’ High School, College House and Canterbury College. Ordained priest in 1940, he was Vicar of New Brighton, St. Luke’s and Lyttelton. He reached the position of Archdeacon. Director of the British Sailors’ Society from 1945 till his death, he was, in 1976, awarded the Queen’s Service Medal for his work with seamen. Unofficial exorcist of the Anglican Diocese of Christchurch, Witty did not look for customers; rather they found him. He said of one Catholic lady: “Her priest put her on to me; they have a habit of doing that”. Problems included poltergeists, shuffling sounds, knockings, tapping, steps tramping up and down stairways and corridors, pictures turning to face the wall, cold patches of air and draughts. Witty heard the ringing of Victorian bells - which no longer existed - in the hallway of St. Luke’s vicarage. He thought that the bells were rung by the shade of the Rev. Arthur Lingard who came home to die at the vicarage then occupied by his parents, Eleanor and Archdeacon Edward Atherton Lingard. In fact, Arthur was moved to Miss Stronach’s private hospital where he died on 23 December 1899.

  • Unsettling a Settler Family's History in Aotearoa New Zealand
    genealogy Article A Tale of Two Stories: Unsettling a Settler Family’s History in Aotearoa New Zealand Richard Shaw Politics Programme, Massey University, PB 11 222 Palmerston North, New Zealand; [email protected]; Tel.: +64-27609-8603 Abstract: On the morning of the 5 November 1881, my great-grandfather stood alongside 1588 other military men, waiting to commence the invasion of Parihaka pa,¯ home to the great pacifist leaders Te Whiti o Rongomai and Tohu Kakahi¯ and their people. Having contributed to the military campaign against the pa,¯ he returned some years later as part of the agricultural campaign to complete the alienation of Taranaki iwi from their land in Aotearoa New Zealand. None of this detail appears in any of the stories I was raised with. I grew up Pakeh¯ a¯ (i.e., a descendant of people who came to Aotearoa from Europe as part of the process of colonisation) and so my stories tend to conform to orthodox settler narratives of ‘success, inevitability, and rights of belonging’. This article is an attempt to right that wrong. In it, I draw on insights from the critical family history literature to explain the nature, purposes and effects of the (non)narration of my great-grandfather’s participation in the military invasion of Parihaka in late 1881. On the basis of a more historically comprehensive and contextualised account of the acquisition of three family farms, I also explore how the control of land taken from others underpinned the creation of new settler subjectivities and created various forms of privilege that have flowed down through the generations.

As most of these introductions were deliberate and documented in detail by the Acclimatisation Societies responsible for them, New Zealand bird invasions are often used as a model system to unravel what determines the outcome of introduction events, especially the role of propagule pressure. However, the credibility of these data was challenged recently, as different authors have reported different numbers of liberated birds. This discrepancy has several causes. Using introductions of Eurasian skylark (Alauda arvensis) and Common starling (Sturnus vulgaris) as examples, we show that the most important issue is that not all liberated birds were imported from overseas, and so import records underestimate the total propagule pressure for particular regions.

  • 10. South Taranaki
    10. South Taranaki Fighting in South Taranaki began when General Cameron’s invasion army marched north from Whanganui on 24 January 1865. This was a major New Zealand campaign, exceeded in the number of Pākehā troops only by the Waikato War a year earlier. A chain of redoubts protected communications, notably on each bank of the Waitotara, Patea, Manawapou and Waingongoro rivers. Pā were mostly inland, at or near the bush edge, and were left alone. The invasion halted at Waingongoro River on the last day of March 1865. British troops then stayed on at the redoubts, while colonial forces took Māori land in return for service, with local fortifications put up for refuge and defence. On 30 December 1865, General Chute marched north from Whanganui on a very different campaign. By the time his combined British Army, colonial and Whanganui Māori force returned on 9 February 1866, seven fortified pā and 21 kāinga had been attacked and taken in search and destroy operations. When British regiments left South Taranaki later that year, colonial troops took over the garrison role. Titokowaru’s 1868–69 campaign was an outstanding strategic episode of the New Zealand Wars. Colonial troops were defeated at Te Ngutu o te Manu and Moturoa and forced back to Whanganui, abandoning Pākehā settlement north of Kai Iwi but for posts at Patea and Wairoa (Waverley). The Māori effort failed early in 1869 when Tauranga Ika, the greatest of Titokowaru’s pā, was given up without a fight. In the years that followed, Pākehā settlers on Māori land were protected by Armed Constabulary and militia posts.

  • A Diachronic Study of Unparliamentary Language in the New Zealand Parliament, 1890-1950
    WITHDRAW AND APOLOGISE: A DIACHRONIC STUDY OF UNPARLIAMENTARY LANGUAGE IN THE NEW ZEALAND PARLIAMENT, 1890-1950 BY RUTH GRAHAM A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Applied Linguistics Victoria University of Wellington 2016 ii “Parliament, after all, is not a Sunday school; it is a talking-shop; a place of debate”. (Barnard, 1943) iii Abstract This study presents a diachronic analysis of the language ruled to be unparliamentary in the New Zealand Parliament from 1890 to 1950. While unparliamentary language is sometimes referred to as ‘parliamentary insults’ (Ilie, 2001), this study has a wider definition: the language used in a legislative chamber is unparliamentary when it is ruled or signalled by the Speaker as out of order or likely to cause disorder. The user is required to articulate a statement of withdrawal and apology or risk further censure. The analysis uses the Communities of Practice theoretical framework, developed by Wenger (1998) and enhanced with linguistic impoliteness, as defined by Mills (2005) in order to contextualise the use of unparliamentary language within a highly regulated institutional setting. The study identifies and categorises the lexis of unparliamentary language, including a focus on examples that use New Zealand English or te reo Māori. Approximately 2600 examples of unparliamentary language, along with bibliographic, lexical, descriptive and contextual information, were entered into a custom designed relational database. The examples were categorised into three: ‘core concepts’, ‘personal reflections’ and the ‘political environment’, with a number of sub-categories. This revealed a previously unknown category of ‘situation dependent’ unparliamentary language and a creative use of ‘animal reflections’.

  • William Colenso's Māori-English Lexicon
    William Colenso’s Māori-English Lexicon by Charlotte Frances Thompson Darling A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Victoria University of Wellington (2018) 1 Abstract William Colenso, one of Victorian New Zealand’s most accomplished polymaths, is remembered best as a printer, a defrocked missionary, botanist, and politician. Up till now, his role as a lexicographer has been largely neglected. His major biographies touch only briefly on his attempt to compile a Māori- English dictionary while Colenso himself spent 30 years on this project. His Lexicon, published the year before his death, is only the incomplete letter A of Māori to English and a handful of pages of English to Māori. The neglect by Colenso’s biographers is a surprising omission given the length of time Colenso spent on his Lexicon, the amount of extant material that relates to it, and the richness of the Lexicon itself as a resource. This thesis asks what William Colenso’s Maori-English Lexicon contribute to our understanding of Colenso’s life, and about the history of language in New Zealand? In chapter one, a brief outline of Colenso’s roles as a missionary, a botanist, a school inspector and a politician establish important biographical context for considering his attempt to compile a Lexicon. The main resource drawn upon is the 30 years’ worth of correspondence between Colenso and the New Zealand government relating to the Lexicon, which affords an overview of the project. The Lexicon itself is a rich resource.
