  • Portrayals of the Moriori People
    Copyright is owned by the Author of the thesis. Permission is given for a copy to be downloaded by an individual for the purpose of research and private study only. The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. i Portrayals of the Moriori People Historical, Ethnographical, Anthropological and Popular sources, c. 1791- 1989 By Read Wheeler A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History, Massey University, 2016 ii Abstract Michael King’s 1989 book, Moriori: A People Rediscovered, still stands as the definitive work on the Moriori, the Native people of the Chatham Islands. King wrote, ‘Nobody in New Zealand – and few elsewhere in the world- has been subjected to group slander as intense and as damaging as that heaped upon the Moriori.’ Since its publication, historians have denigrated earlier works dealing with the Moriori, arguing that the way in which they portrayed Moriori was almost entirely unfavourable. This thesis tests this conclusion. It explores the perspectives of European visitors to the Chatham Islands from 1791 to 1989, when King published Moriori. It does this through an examination of newspapers, Native Land Court minutes, and the writings of missionaries, settlers, and ethnographers. The thesis asks whether or not historians have been selective in their approach to the sources, or if, perhaps, they have ignored the intricacies that may have informed the views of early observers. The thesis argues that during the nineteenth century both Maori and European perspectives influenced the way in which Moriori were portrayed in European narrative.

  • Pioneering History
    New Zealand Journal of History, 36, 1 (2002) Chris Hilliard Pioneering History NEGOTIATING PAKEHA COLLECTIVE MEMORY IN THE LATE NINETEENTH AND EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURIES* IN APRIL 1884 Thomas Hocken stood before a group of nearly 40 men who had gathered to establish the Early History Society of Otago. Hocken was known by his contemporaries as a 'gentleman who had always taken a great interest' in New Zealand's history.1 On this occasion he gave a speech designed to rouse interest in the foundation of Pakeha New Zealand: 'Whatever his nationality, the pioneer delights to record, and his successors to hand down, the minutest incidents of early history'. He hoped that the story of Pakeha origins, symbolized by the arrival of the immigrant ships Tory, Cuba, Wild Watcli, John Wicklijfe, Randolph and Cressy, would become 'as complete and full of interest' as the accounts of Maori or white American origins (with their well-known immigrant vessels the Arawa and Tainui or the Mayflower). He urged his audience to emulate the Historic Society of New York in 'raising from oblivion a thousand interesting details connected with the settlement... which but for such timely efforts must have been irrevocably lost.'2 Another founding member, the Rev. Dr D.M. Stuart, also spoke with a sense of urgency: 'For years he had advocated the formation of such a society'. His friend — old settler Mr Cutten — had recently died, taking much information on early Otago with him. However, J. Hyde Harris outdid both Hocken and Stuart with a remarkably long-standing intention to gather Otago's foundational history.

  • Factors Involved in the Recent Mortality of Plants from Forest and Scrub Along the Lake Te an Au Shoreline, Fiordland
    34 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NEW ZEALAND EcOLOGICAL SOCIETY. VOL. 24, 1977 FACTORS INVOLVED IN THE RECENT MORTALITY OF PLANTS FROM FOREST AND SCRUB ALONG THE LAKE TE AN AU SHORELINE, FIORDLAND A. F MARK" P. N. JOHNSON', J. B. WILSON' SUMMARY: Mortality of forest and scrub species from most deltas of the Lake Te Anau shoreline is described following unnaturally prolonged flooding during 1975. Despite a high incidence of pinhole borer in the affected beech trees there is conclusive evidence that the mortality in most species was due to prolonged high water tables that exceeded the tolerances of many important shoreline species. Differential mortality in Leptospermum scoparium (manuka) apparently depended on whether or not plants were totally submerged for substantial periods-their root systems appear to be tolerant of indefinite flooding. The results have substantiated previous predictions on submergence tolerance of species from lake-shore forest and scrub communities. These tolerance values had been derived by indirect methods and form the basis of the high-level operational guidelines for use of the lake waters for hydro-electric generation.

  • Taiehu Collection Policy 2016
    DUNEDIN PUBLIC LIBRARIES TAIEHU COLLECTION POLICY 2016 SCOPE This policy is concerned with the Taiehu Collection in the City Library. Its principles will also apply to smaller Māori collections held in Community Libraries throughout the Dunedin Public Libraries network. 1. Collection Scope The collection aims to provide resources on a broad range of topics with a Māori focus. It is primarily an adult non-fiction collection with a research focus directed at the interested non-specialist. More specialised materials relating to academic or whakapapa research and government information may be consulted in the Heritage Collections. Where fiction is included in the collection it will be as aids to extending language skills rather than as examples of works by Māori or non-Maori authors. Fiction written by Māori authors in Te Reo Māori and English may be included in the general lending collections as well as the Taiehu collection. 2. Collection Purpose The aim of the collection is twofold: to support southern Māori in mātauranga and to foster a deeper understanding of tikanga Māori or ‘the Māori way of doing things’, within the wider community. As a non-fiction collection, the purpose of the collection is primarily educational rather than recreational. It is expected that the collection will be used by local iwi and interested members of the public, including students and those interested in learning Te Reo Māori. The strength of the Taiehu collection is that it brings together items that would otherwise be widely separated, so that books on Māori arts and crafts, for example, can be found located very close to books on Māori mythology.

  • Presentation of September 4, 2010 Canterbury Earthquake
    Presentation of September 4, 2010 Canterbury Earthquake William Godwin, PG, CEG AEG Vice President, 2019-20 Webinar – May 6, 2020 Introduction ► This presentation is on the 2010 Mw 7.1 Canterbury Earthquake. The earthquake occurred as I was traveling from San Francisco to Auckland, New Zealand to attend the IAEG Congress. Upon arrival I was asked to join the Geotechnical Extreme Events Reconnaissance (GEER) team to document damage from the event in the Christchurch area of the South Island. Little did I know that another smaller (Mw 6.2), yet deadlier earthquake would strike 5 months later in close to the same area. Introduction ► The purpose of the GEER is to observe and record earthquake induced phenomena and impacts to infrastructure before evidence is removed or altered as part of cleanup efforts. ► The reconnaissance was conducted by a joint USA-NZ-Japan team with the main funding for the USA contingent coming from GEER and partial support from PEER and EERI. ► This presentation includes my photographs from Sept. 8-10 supplemented with a few photos and observations noted in the GEER report, Nov. 2010. I also describe other seismic events from 2011-16. Sept 4th Darfield Earthquake ► At 4:35 am on September 4th NZ Standard Time (16:35 Sept 3rd UTC) the rupture of a previously unrecognized strike-slip fault (Greendale Fault) beneath the Canterbury Plains of New Zealand’s South Island produced a Mw 7.1 earthquake that caused widespread damage throughout the region. Surprisingly only two people were seriously injured, with approximately 100 total injuries. This compares with 185 deaths in the 2011 event Canterbury Earthquake Sequence Greendale Fault Rupture Characteristics Epicenter (focal) depth: 10.8km Tectonic Setting Ground Motion (pga) Geographical Setting Preliminary Observations ► Rock Avalanche, Castle Rock Reserve, Littleton, Christchurch ► Fault Offset, Telegraph Rd at Grange Rd.
