On a clear day, you'll see the orange-topped chimneys of the Huntly Power station standing in the distance. 1.5km in, past Maurea Marae, there's a monument to the Ngāti Naho chief, Te Wheoro, whose personal history embodies the extraordinary stresses of colonial rule on Waikato Māori as they argued strategies to preserve tribal identity. Te Wheoro sided at rst with the Crown. In 1857, he spoke against setting up a Māori king and, at the great conference of Māori leaders at Kohimarama in 1860, spoke again in favour of the Government. Governor Grey's British troops invaded Waikato territory in July 1863. In November that year, the British Troops overcame the Māori redoubt at Rangiriri, forcing the Māori King, Tāwhiao, out of Ngāruawāhia to sanctuary around Waitomo and Te Kūiti. In the years that followed, Te Wheoro acted as an intermediary for the Government's negotiation with the King.

    James Andrews, Viticulturalist

    James Andrews, Viticulturalist Senor Romeo Bragato trained at the Royal School of Oenology in Conegliano, Italy. He was appointed Resident Viticulturalist for the Victoria State Government in Australia. The New Zealand Government invited him to visit in 1895. Subsequently he was appointed as their Viticulturalist and Oenologist to head the new Viticultural Branch of the Biology and Horticulture Division of the Department of Agriculture in Te Kauwhata. He held the position from 1901 to 1908 and had the wine cellar and laboratory built. It was designed by Hamilton architect T H White. Romeo Bragato married Laura Condon in Auckland in 1907. They had a daughter Miriam who married Scott Colville and in turn had a daughter, Jan Colville, but there are no further descendants. Meanwhile, the Andrews family of Beeston in Nottinghamshire, with two sons and two daughters, had booked to emigrate to New Zealand. Henry died suddenly but wife Emma decided they would continue with their plans in 1891. They had contacts in her relatives the Draper family, across Lake Waikare from Rangiriri. Draper Road’s name comes from them. One of the Andrews sisters, Annie, married Robert Watson, a quarryman at what is now Belcher Road. Her sister Helen married his brother William. Meanwhile, their brother James Benjamin Andrews got a job at the Experimental Farm in Te Kauwhata in 1895. He worked there until 1932, and was cellarman for the first 1902 wine vintage under Romeo Bragato. He then progressed to being winemaker and vineyard overseer with expert tuition from Bragato, who did not choose to also tutor the younger cadet Tom Rodda*.

    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.

    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.
