Christopher has been collecting since he was 16 years old and his grandfather Sir James Parr, was four times mayor of Auckland and New Zealand High Commissioner to the United Kingdom. Christopher’s interest in the History of Auckland and the far North were influenced by his long-standing family associations. Christopher was Chairman of the Auckland Public Library Trust and took a keen and active interest in the Sir George Grey Special Collections. He also assisted in the compilation of the Turnbull Library Bibliography Books in Maori, providing information and giving them access to unique material from his collection. He also wrote several papers on Maori language and literacy for the Journal of the Polynesian Society. Over a lifetime of collecting he has accumulated this collection of rare and early New Zealand documents, Maori proclamations, printings and books of National importance, many of which are genuinely irreplaceable. This auction grants collectors the opportunity to acquire material unlikely to ever be offered on the market again. Auction highlights include: • Rare New Zealand Proclamations relating to The Treaty of Waitangi, some of which were William Colenso’s personal copies. • A collection of important early New Zealand newspapers including the rare Gazette Extraordinary, New Zealand No.1. accompanied with an original letter from William Colenso to Captain Hobson. • New Testament – Ko te Rongo Pai [The Gospel According to St Luke].

  • Immigration During the Crown Colony Period, 1840-1852
    1 2: Immigration during the Crown Colony period, 1840-1852 Context In 1840 New Zealand became, formally, a part of the British Empire. The small and irregular inflow of British immigrants from the Australian Colonies – the ‘Old New Zealanders’ of the mission stations, whaling stations, timber depots, trader settlements, and small pastoral and agricultural outposts, mostly scattered along the coasts - abruptly gave way to the first of a number of waves of immigrants which flowed in from 1840.1 At least three streams arrived during the period 1840-1852, although ‘Old New Zealanders’ continued to arrive in small numbers during the 1840s. The first consisted of the government officials, merchants, pastoralists, and other independent arrivals, the second of the ‘colonists’ (or land purchasers) and the ‘emigrants’ (or assisted arrivals) of the New Zealand Company and its affiliates, and the third of the imperial soldiers (and some sailors) who began arriving in 1845. New Zealand’s European population grew rapidly, marked by the establishment of urban communities, the colonial capital of Auckland (1840), and the Company settlements of Wellington (1840), Petre (Wanganui, 1840), New Plymouth (1841), Nelson (1842), Otago (1848), and Canterbury (1850). Into Auckland flowed most of the independent and military streams, and into the company settlements those arriving directly from the United Kingdom. Thus A.S.Thomson observed that ‘The northern [Auckland] settlers were chiefly derived from Australia; those in the south from Great Britain. The former,’ he added, ‘were distinguished for colonial wisdom; the latter for education and good home connections …’2 Annexation occurred at a time when emigration from the United Kingdom was rising.

  • New Zealand Experience: the Twaty of Waitangi
    New Zealand Experience: The Twaty Of Waitangi Alan Ward The main point The main point I wish to advance in this paper is that no matter how finely worded a treaty might be, it will not be effective unless there is a broad political consensus to make it effective. Professor Brij La1 has shown in his paper that despite the meticulous care and widespread consulta- tion that underlay the making of the 1997 Fijian constitution, it was abro- gated by force by sections of Fijian society who were not fundamentally in sympathy with it. Much the same can be argued in respect of the Treaty of Waitangi in New Zealand. When proposals for a treaty with the Aboriginal people began to be mooted in the 1970s it was commonly argued in Australia (as indeed it still is) that the situation of Maori in New Zealand was markedly better than that of Aborigines in Australia, because Maori had the benefit of a treaty their chiefs signed with the British in 1840, the Treaty of Waitangi. In contrast, many New Zealanders, including many Maori, were quite cynical, in the light of their experience, about what a treaty might achieve for Aborigines. As recently as 1983, the New Zealand Maori Council, the senior Maori representative body, established (like ATSIC) under an act of parliament, stated as follows: "In the treatment and handling of Maori claims the Treaty of Waitangi has been sadly denigrated. Unlike many other countries where treaties and the facts of prior occupation have been regarded by the Courts as proper sources of domestic law resulting in a body of court laws on treaty and indigenous rights, the New Zealand courts have consistently denied that the Treaty fo Waitangi forms part of our domestic law or that such sources of law could exist.

  • He Wahine, He Whenua I Ngaro Ai? Maori Women, Maori Marriage Customs and the Native Land Court, 1865-1909
    He Wahine, He Whenua I Ngaro Ai? Maori Women, Maori Marriage Customs and the Native Land Court, 1865-1909 Inano Walter A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Arts University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand 2017 Created 16/10/2017 ii Abstract The aim of this study is to investigate and identify the effects the Native Land Court and native land legislation had on customary Māori marriage practices from 1865 to 1909. While researchers have produced a variety of important understandings of the court’s role in promoting land loss in Māori society, Māori women’s involvement in the court and its effects upon them is just beginning to be examined. This thesis makes a contribution to Māori women’s history by accounting for the role the Native Land Court and associated land legislation played in reshaping customary Māori marriage practices in nineteenth and early twentieth century New Zealand. Even though native land legislation was one of the key mechanisms by which the state governed Māori land as well as marriage, this connection is rarely examined within the same frame. The Native Land Court is a forum where land and marriage did interact. Focusing on a case study of Ngāti Kahungunu, I situate prominent Māori women in the Native Land Court, and use their experiences to further understandings of how Māori marriage, which is often examined in a pre-European context, was shaped by land title investigations and succession cases. This study was conducted utilising statutes, colonial newspapers and the Napier Minute Books. In the first chapter, this thesis uses ethnographic material to describe and interpret marriage customs prior to European contact, its draws upon missionary understandings of customary marriage upon arrival to Aotearoa, and also traces how colonial law managed marriage prior to the Native Land Court 1865.
