  • And Did She Cry in Māori?”
    “ ... AND DID SHE CRY IN MĀORI?” RECOVERING, REASSEMBLING AND RESTORYING TAINUI ANCESTRESSES IN AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND Diane Gordon-Burns Tainui Waka—Waikato Iwi A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History The University of Canterbury 2014 Preface Waikato taniwha rau, he piko he taniwha he piko he taniwha Waikato River, the ancestral river of Waikato iwi, imbued with its own mauri and life force through its sheer length and breadth, signifies the strength and power of Tainui people. The above proverb establishes the rights and authority of Tainui iwi to its history and future. Translated as “Waikato of a hundred chiefs, at every bend a chief, at every bend a chief”, it tells of the magnitude of the significant peoples on every bend of its great banks.1 Many of those peoples include Tainui women whose stories of leadership, strength, status and connection with the Waikato River have been diminished or written out of the histories that we currently hold of Tainui. Instead, Tainui men have often been valorised and their roles inflated at the expense of Tainui women, who have been politically, socially, sexually, and economically downplayed. In this study therefore I honour the traditional oral knowledges of a small selection of our tīpuna whaea. I make connections with Tainui born women and those women who married into Tainui. The recognition of traditional oral knowledges is important because without those histories, remembrances and reconnections of our pasts, the strengths and identities which are Tainui women will be lost. Stereotypical male narrative has enforced a female passivity where women’s strengths and importance have become lesser known.

  • Legend -Voyage from Hawaiiki
    Voyage from Hawaiki The The story of Te Arawa begins in Hawaiki, the distant land of our ancestors. Our iwi (tribe) is named aer the Te Arawa waka that brought them to the shores of Aotearoa. Theirs was an epic ourney; one that took courage, skill, and powerful magic to survive. Houmaitawhi# was a chief of a tribe called Nga# %homairangi in Hawaiki. His family became embroiled in a series of con&icts which lead to the momentous decision to leave. Trouble in Hawaiki The trouble began when the powerful chief Uenuku ate Potakatawhi#, the pet dog of Houmaitawhi#. The chief)s sons Tamatekapua and Whakaturia missed their father)s pet and set out to +nd him, calling his name as they went. When they entered Uenuku)s village they were delighted to hear an answering howl , only to discover that the sound was coming from inside the belly of Uenuku. The two brothers schemed how to take revenge for this insult. They se-led on the idea of stealing kuru (breadfruit) from Uenuku)s precious tree. Night aer night, they crept up to his house on s#lts and took as much as they could carry. .ut before long, they were found out. A violent ba-le ensued. Tamatekapua)s forces won the +ght, but Houmaitawhi# told his son to seek out a peaceful life in a new land. So he began to make prepara#ons to leave Hawaiki forever. Houmaitawhi# was too old to go himself. So he appointed his son Tamatekapua leader of the e0pedi#on. The Voyage Begins A great tree was felled and the waka (canoe) was built, ready to take on the fearsome ocean waves.

  • Investigating the Stories of Tainui Ancestresses: a Work in Progress
    Investigating the Stories of Tainui Ancestresses: A Work in Progress Diane Gordon-Burns Aotahi: School of M āori and Indigenous Studies University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand Abstract This paper summarises current and ongoing research where some of the key findings have identified how Tainui women’s stories have been preserved, by whom and the type of story that has been maintained. Comparisons with the details of both inter and intra tribal historical accounts of Tainui women have also been undertaken. Introduction As a woman with Tainui ancestry who is keenly interested in the histories of those women mentioned in my whakapapa and iwi accounts, the lack of information in the established literature has been particularly noticeable. Stories of the men who sailed on Tainui however and their male descendants are comprehensive and elaborate in comparison. My study seeks to locate the various narratives of a selection of significant Tainui women using both primary and secondary sources. Primary sources that have been used include manuscripts that have been written by M āori men such as Te Whiwhi (1852), Uremutu (1860) and Aoterangi (1863). Documented stories that have been told to and recorded by Pākeh ā men such as Hamlin (1842) are also manuscripts that have been researched. There do not appear to be any primary sources attributed to women. The secondary sources I have accessed are those accounts that have been published in books and journals by men such as Grey (1854), Smith (1907), Kelly (1949), Phillips (1989) and Carkeek (2004). A critical analysis of the sources has been an important component of the study as it has established the accuracies and/or inaccuracies of the accounts that are more readily available today.

  • 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.
