  • School Children
    Tairāwhiti’s Second World War memories 1: School children By 1940 patriotic activities in the Tairāwhiti area were in full swing, and children had been involved from the very beginning. The children of the Muriwai School got the ball rolling in October 1939 when they decided that they wanted to contribute to patriotic funds by growing potatoes for sale. In this they were supported by their School Committee, who decided to purchase the necessary seed and manure.1 Children sewed and knitted items such as scarves, mittens and balaclavas for the troops throughout the war years. While children at all schools could undertake these handcrafts, some activities were dependant on location. So it was only country children who would have been able to participate in the scheme proposed by Mrs Thompson of Puha whereby sheepfarmers would donate motherless lambs to be reared by school children. It was pointed out that many of these lambs were lost in the course of a Shearing shed, Waimata John Harold (Jack) Hollamby season, but that handfeeding would Collection Tairāwhiti Museum78-7 save them, and at the same time give the children an opportunity to share in the war effort.2 Country children were also able to participate in the collection of ergot, a fungus found in the seed heads of some grasses, which was urgently required in Britain for the manufacture of drugs.3 In November 1941 the Minister of Education issued a statement asking school children to collect all the ergot they can during December and January.4 1 The Gisborne Herald 4 October 1939 2

  • Proposal for Tūranganui-A-Kiwa / Poverty Bay [Alteration from Poverty Bay]
    Proposal for Tūranganui-a-Kiwa / Poverty Bay [alteration from Poverty Bay] Image provided by proposer Inset NZTopo250 mosaic Crown copyright reserved Summary Gisborne District Council (GDC) proposes altering the existing recorded name, Poverty Bay, for the bay south of Gisborne (town), to a dual name Tūranganui-a-Kiwa / Poverty Bay. In 1769 Lieutenant James Cook named the feature Poverty Bay because he was unable to resupply at the bay1. There are several kōrero for Tūranganui-a-Kiwa relating to Kiwa of the Horouta or Tākitimu waka. A commonly cited meaning is ‘the great [or long] standing place of Kiwa’. GDC’s reasons for the proposal include: - restoring an original Māori name, - a dual name being representative of the area’s bicultural heritage, - support for te reo Māori, - possible economic and tourism benefits, - some evidence of community support for a dual name, - a name change fostering positive cultural and social outcomes. GDC consulted with Tūranga iwi: Ngai Tāmanuhiri, Rongowhakaata, and Te Aitanga a Māhaki, who it identified as mana whenua. Letters of support are included, although they each support only the original Māori name, not a 1 J A Mackay (1949), Historic Poverty Bay and the East Coast, North Island, New Zealand, Gisborne, Chapter V – the Unhappy Naming of Povery Bay. – accessed 20 March 2018 NZGB meeting 12 April 2018 Page 1 of 11 Linzone ID: A3204829 dual name.

  • Research Report 3: Waimata River Sheridan Gundry
    TE AWAROA: RESTORING NEW ZEALAND RIVERS RESEARCH REPORT 3: WAIMATA RIVER SHERIDAN GUNDRY THE WAIMATA RIVER: SETTLER HISTORY POST 1880 The Waimata River – Settler History post 1880 Sheridan Gundry, Te Awaroa Project Report No. 3 Land within the Waimata River catchment, comprising about 220 square kilometres1, began to be available for purchase after the passing of the Native Lands Act 1865 and subsequent land surveys and issuing of legal Crown title. The lower reaches of the Waimata River – including parts of the Kaiti, Whataupoko and Pouawa blocks – were the first to go into European ownership from around 1880, when John and Thomas Holden bought the 7000 acre Rimuroa block; the Hansen brothers bought about 8000 acres comprising Horoeka, Maka and Weka; Bennet bought the 1100 acre Kanuka block; and Charles Gray, the Waiohika block. The next year, in 1881, the Kenway brothers bought the 3000-acre Te Pahi further upriver. The Kenways gave the property the name Te Pahi, meaning The End, because at the time it was at the end of the road with nothing beyond.2 This soon changed with further purchases of Maori land beyond Te Pahi continuing through to the late 1890s. Further land became available in the south, east and north Waimata with the New Zealand Native Land Settlement Company offering about 20,000 acres for sale in late 1882. The blocks “conveyed to the company” were approved by the Trust Commissioner and titles were to be registered under the Land Transfer Act.3 The areas involved were Waimata South, 9,555; Waimata East, 4,966; Waimata North, 4,828.
