Historic Overview - Pokeno & District
WDC District Plan Review – Built Heritage Assessment Historic Overview - Pokeno & District Pokeno The fertile valley floor in the vicinity of Pokeno has most likely been occupied by Maori since the earliest days of their settlement of Aotearoa. Pokeno is geographically close to the Tamaki isthmus, the lower Waikato River and the Hauraki Plains, all areas densely occupied by Maori in pre-European times. Traditionally, iwi of Waikato have claimed ownership of the area. Prior to and following 1840, that iwi was Ngati Tamaoho, including the hapu of Te Akitai and Te Uri-a-Tapa. The town’s name derives from the Maori village of Pokino located north of the present town centre, which ceased to exist on the eve of General Cameron’s invasion of the Waikato in July 1863. In the early 1820s the area was repeatedly swept by Nga Puhi war parties under Hongi Hika, the first of several forces to move through the area during the inter-tribal wars of the 1820s and 1830s. It is likely that the hapu of Pokeno joined Ngati Tamaoho war parties that travelled north to attack Nga Puhi and other tribes.1 In 1822 Hongi Hika and a force of around 3000 warriors, many armed with muskets, made an epic journey south from the Bay of Islands into the Waikato. The journey involved the portage of large war waka across the Tamaki isthmus and between the Waiuku River and the headwaters of the Awaroa and hence into the Waikato River west of Pokeno. It is likely warriors from the Pokeno area were among Waikato people who felled large trees across the Awaroa River to slow Hika’s progress. -

F I S H A N D GAME NEW ZEALAND AUCKLAND/WAIKATO REG ION SPORTS FISH AND GAME BIRD MANAGEMENT PLAN To manage, maintain and enhance the sports fish and game bird resource in the recreational interests of anglers and hunters 156 BRYMER ROAD, R.D. 9 HAMILTON 2 FOREWORD FROM THE CHAIRMAN I am pleased to present the Auckland/Waikato sports fish and game bird management plan. Auckland/Waikato was the first Fish and Game Council to prepare a plan, which was approved by the Minister of Conservation on 18th August 1994. This plan builds upon its predecessor and, as with such, will be put to good use in guiding Council over the next decade. The preparation of this plan reflects the significant responsibility entrusted to the Council to prepare a management plan for sports fish and game birds and their habitat in this region and to provide quality angling and hunting opportunities for licence holders. The plan has again involved consultation with a wide range of stakeholders. We appreciate the input these people have made, which will make the plan more enduring.

Mapping the Socio- Political Life of the Waikato River MARAMA MURU-LANNING
6. ‘At Every Bend a Chief, At Every Bend a Chief, Waikato of One Hundred Chiefs’: Mapping the Socio- Political Life of the Waikato River MARAMA MURU-LANNING Introduction At 425 kilometres, the Waikato River is the longest river in New Zealand, and a vital resource for the country (McCan 1990: 33–5). Officially beginning at Nukuhau near Taupo township, the river is fed by Lake Taupo and a number of smaller rivers and streams throughout its course. Running swiftly in a northwesterly direction, the river passes through many urban, forested and rural areas. Over the past 90 years, the Waikato River has been adversely impacted by dams built for hydro-electricity generation, by runoff and fertilisers associated with farming and forestry, and by the waste waters of several major industries and urban centres. At Huntly, north of Taupiri (see Figure 6.1), the river’s waters are further sullied when they are warmed during thermal electricity generation processes. For Māori, another major desecration of the Waikato River occurs when its waters are diverted and mixed with waters from other sources, so that they can be drunk by people living in Auckland. 137 Island Rivers Figure 6.1 A socio-political map of the Waikato River and catchment. Source: Created by Peter Quin, University of Auckland. As the Waikato River is an important natural resource, it has a long history of people making claims to it, including Treaty of Waitangi1 claims by Māori for guardianship recognition and management and property rights.2 This process of claiming has culminated in a number of tribes 1 The Treaty of Waitangi was signed by the British Crown and more than 500 Māori chiefs in 1840. -

Notes on the Hydrology of the Waikato River
EARTH SCIENCE JOURNAL, Vol. 1, No. 1, 1967 NOTES ON THE HYDROLOGY OF THE W AIKATO RIVER G. T. Ridall Hydrologist, Waikato Valley Authority GENERAL The catchment area of the Waikato River is 5,500 square miles. If its source is accepted as being the Upper Waikato, then its distance to the sea at Port Waikato including its journey through Lake Taupo is 266 miles. It rises, together with the Whangaehu, the Rangitikei and the Wanganui, between the volcanic region of Ruapehu 9,000 ft. above sea level and the Kaimanawa Ranges 5,000 ft. above sea level. The river flows northwards for 34 miles into Lake Taupo, losing its identity into the Tongariro for the last 26 miles to the lake. It emerges from Lake Taupo resuming its proper name and, still flowing northwards, passes for more than 100 miles through a series of lakes formed by hydro- electric dams to Cambridge. From here it continues through a deeply incised channel to Ngaruawahia where it is joined by its major tributary, the Waipa River. From Ngaruawahia to the mouth, a distance of 60 miles, shallow lakes and peat swamps predominate on both sides of the river, many of them protected and drained and developed into rich dairy farms. From Mercer, 35 miles downstream of Ngaruawahia, where slight tidal effects are discernable at low flows, the river changes its general northerly direction to a westerly one and, still 9 miles from the mouth, enters the delta. Here it is fragmented into many channels before emptying into the broad expanse of Maioro Bay and finally emerges by two fairly narrow channels into the sea on the west coast, 25 miles south of Manukau Heads. -
