Ōpunakē Town Centre Spatial Framework 21.08.2019 Ōpunakē Town Centre Spatial Framework 21.08.2019 _ Ōpunakē Master Plan: The following name definition and history for Ōpunakē was provided by nga hapū o Ōpunakē. There is a change to the usually accepted position of the macrons which alters the meaning of the town’s name as below. Name Definition: History and Context of Ōpunakē: Proposed format to tell tangata whenua stories: Ō-puna-kē, or Ōpunakē (without the hyphens), refers to the underground springs that lay beneath the land. The key word Although colonial settlement ‘established’ a ‘town community’ It is clear that a tribal view in rewriting our history is that that gives the town its meaning is ‘puna’ ‘Kē’, refers to the and the view that pre-colonial settlement by Taranaki Māori was the narrative remains separate given the extent to which unexpected or hidden nature of the springs while the ‘Ō’ is a limited in this area, it is inaccurate and ignores the Māori world the dominance of colonial discourse has marginalised and widely used language convention that is prevalent in many of the view in terms of how pre-colonial communities utilised this area. misunderstood the type of cultural lens needed to provide the place names in Taranaki. Communities weren’t formed as a static grouping of people platform to share tangata whenua stories. centered on a piece of land. Amalgamating our narrative into mainstream discourse to Ōpunakē, a coastal town, in the southern part of Taranaki Iwi, politically accommodate the needs of English language readers that is known for the hidden springs that lay beneath the land. Land usage depended on the seasonal bounty of food and the is another form of cultural marginalisation; the scope and limited level of oral knowledge that is still retained in the memories of our accessibility that land provided to access those resources. Critical to understanding the political meaning of pre-colonial elders requires a level of consultation and reflection that serves settlement is the role and function of genealogy, and how the epistemic needs of the community. differing hapū groups determined their ‘mana’ to a certain area. Tribal oral records show Ōpunakē to be a peaceful area; only interrupted by invasions from other tribes and colonial settlement. The tensions these invasions created gave rise to some outstanding individuals who sought to defend, protect, and resolve the conflicts that beset the hapū communities in the area. Many families who still live in Ōpunakē descend from these peacemakers; and their prominence, or lack thereof, is connected to the wider impetus of rewriting and rebuilding everybody’s knowledge on Maori history.

  • Unsettling a Settler Family's History in Aotearoa New Zealand
    genealogy Article A Tale of Two Stories: Unsettling a Settler Family’s History in Aotearoa New Zealand Richard Shaw Politics Programme, Massey University, PB 11 222 Palmerston North, New Zealand; [email protected]; Tel.: +64-27609-8603 Abstract: On the morning of the 5 November 1881, my great-grandfather stood alongside 1588 other military men, waiting to commence the invasion of Parihaka pa,¯ home to the great pacifist leaders Te Whiti o Rongomai and Tohu Kakahi¯ and their people. Having contributed to the military campaign against the pa,¯ he returned some years later as part of the agricultural campaign to complete the alienation of Taranaki iwi from their land in Aotearoa New Zealand. None of this detail appears in any of the stories I was raised with. I grew up Pakeh¯ a¯ (i.e., a descendant of people who came to Aotearoa from Europe as part of the process of colonisation) and so my stories tend to conform to orthodox settler narratives of ‘success, inevitability, and rights of belonging’. This article is an attempt to right that wrong. In it, I draw on insights from the critical family history literature to explain the nature, purposes and effects of the (non)narration of my great-grandfather’s participation in the military invasion of Parihaka in late 1881. On the basis of a more historically comprehensive and contextualised account of the acquisition of three family farms, I also explore how the control of land taken from others underpinned the creation of new settler subjectivities and created various forms of privilege that have flowed down through the generations.

  • Orimupiko 22 and the Haze of History1
    Orimupiko 22 and the Haze of History1 RACHEL BUCHANAN Certain types of chaotic events lure historians and readers. While giving birth is a chaotic, exceptional, creative event it is also a private, universal and prosaic one. While not all women will give birth, all men and women have been born. Wars and natural disasters, however, present a different order of chaos. They are destructive, exceptional and public. Wars and disasters rupture time. What once existed is no more. People die. Mountains collapse. Homes burn. Ships shatter. Villages empty. Residents flee. Roads split. Swamps rise. Forests fall. Some of these events are over in a flash. A dormant fault-line shudders, the earth shakes, buildings crack and crumble and collapse, people are crushed. Others, like wars, go on and on, spreading and intensifying the chaos, knifing time and splitting it apart. One of the jobs of the historian is to create a narrative that makes sense of disturbing events, either distant or more recent, and so bring order to chaos. Many relish this challenge. ‘Battles are notoriously difficult phenomena to reconstruct,’ warned James Belich in the introduction to the revisionist history of the New Zealand Wars that made his career.2 Belich responded by constructing a thematic ‘overview’ of events, one that necessarily erased the mess and confusion of so many bloody moments by concentrating on the motivations of leading individuals and broad categories of people: ‘Europeans’ and ‘Māori’. Another path focuses upon on chronology and so construct a before, during
