Te Aurere Which Has Now Sailed Over 30,000 Nautical Miles Visiting Hawai’I, French Polynesia, the Cook Islands, New Caledonia and Norfolk Island Hekenukumai Ngaiwi Puhipi Busby, MBE Hekenukumai Ngaiwi Puhipi Busby, Te Rarawa/Ngati Kahu, is recognised in Aotearoa-New Zealand and across the Pacific as a leader of the revival of ocean voyaging and navigation using traditional Polynesian double hull canoes and wayfinding methods. In 1991/2 he built the waka hourua Te Aurere which has now sailed over 30,000 nautical miles visiting Hawai’i, French Polynesia, the Cook Islands, New Caledonia and Norfolk Island. Hekenukumai was born at home at Pukepoto near Kaitaia on the 1st August 1932. He went to the local Native School where one of the highlights was visits to Waitangi. There he would sit and commune with the waka taua Ngatokimatawhaorua and wonder if he would ever see a waka like that in the water. Little did he know then that in 1973, in response to an initiative of Prime Minister Norman Kirk who wanted to change Waitangi Day to New Zealand Day, he would play a central role in re-launching Ngatokimatawhaorua for the 1974 celebrations. A turning point came in 1984 when the navigator of Hokule’a a replica of a traditional Hawai’ian canoe, Nainoa Thompson visited Hekenukumai prior to voyaging to Aotearoa in 1985. Hekenukumai told Nainoa that “In this land, we still have our canoe buried. In this land, we still have our language and we trace our genealogies back to the canoes our ancestors arrived on. But we have lost our pride and the dignity of our traditions. If you are going to bring Hokule’a here, that will help bring it back.” During the visit of Hokule’a to Waitangi Sir James Henare expressed the hope that a waka from Aotearoa would make the return trip to central Polynesia. It was Hekenukumai who took up the challenge to build that waka and sail it to Rarotonga. The New Zealand Commemoration Medal in 1990 and an MBE in 1994 for services to Maori are part of the recog- nition Hekenukumai has received for what he has contributed to the revival of waka, a central part of Maori culture, and the many other contributions he has made though local, regional, and national organisations. TE AURERE - SAILING THE PACIFIC SINCE 1992 Active involvment in community affairs Hekenukumai has a long and distinguished record of active involvement in community affairs in the North and nation- ally since his first participation in the Te Rarawa Executive in the 1950s and 1960s, when he also served four terms as chairman of the Ahipara Primary School and on the Ahipara Maori Committee.

Brock, ‘Traducer’ from New Zealand Country Journal.4:1 (1880). A Social and Cultural History of the New Zealand Horse A Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In History Massey University, Albany, New Zealand Carolyn Jean Mincham 2008 i Abstract Both in the present and the past, horses have a strong presence in New Zealand society and culture. The country’s temperate climate and colonial environment allowed horses to flourish and accordingly became accessible to a wide range of people. Horses acted as an agent of colonisation for their role in shaping the landscape and fostering relationships between coloniser and colonised. Imported horses and the traditions associated with them, served to maintain a cultural link between Great Britain and her colony, a characteristic that continued well into the twentieth century. Not all of these transplanted readily to the colonial frontier and so they were modified to suit the land and its people. There are a number of horses that have meaning to this country. The journey horse, sport horse, work horse, warhorse, wild horse, pony and Māori horse have all contributed to the creation of ideas about community and nationhood. How these horses are represented in history, literature and imagery reveal much of the attitudes, values, aspirations and anxieties of the times.

  • 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.
