  • Looking at the Works of Alice Tawhai: an Argument For
    LOOKING AT THE WORKS OF ALICE TAWHAI: AN ARGUMENT FOR MĀORI LITERARY NATIONALISM By Charlie (Natasha) Holland A thesis presented to The Victoria University of Wellington in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in English Victoria University of Wellington October 2009 Acknowledgments I would like to thank my supervisor Dr. Alice Te Punga Somerville for all her support and to Prof. Lydia Wevers for helping me in the final stages of completing my work. To the organisers of the Manurere Postgraduate Travel Grant, Federation of Graduate Women (Wellington Branch), Te Ha and Ngā Pou Kaituhi Māori committees of Toi Māori Aotearoa, and especially my Mum for funding my trip to Albuquerque, New Mexico for the 2009 Native American Literary Symposium – thank you. I would also like to thank my partner Jayde for her continuous support over the years it has taken me to research and produce this thesis. Abstract Contemporary Māori writer Alice Tawhai has published two collections of short stories, Festival of Miracles (2005) and Luminous (2007). Tawhai’s narratives portray Māori people living an array of diverse lifestyles and her collections include stories about isolation, gangs, substance abuse, identity, education, art and spirituality; her work has been reviewed in literary magazines and online as new fiction that reflected a contemporary society in Aotearoa and these literary reviews imply that Tawhai’s stories are a reflection of Māori people. For Māori readers, Tawhai’s narratives demand a different interpretation of the text, a different way of reading, in order to read these stories of their own merits.

  • Potential Shallow Seismic Sources in the Hamilton Basin Project 16/717 5 July 2017
    Final Report on EQC Potential shallow seismic sources in the Hamilton Basin Project 16/717 5 July 2017 Vicki Moon & Willem de Lange School of Science University of Waikato 1. Introduction Following the exposure of a fault within a cutting in a new sub-division development in NE Hamilton, an initial investigation suggested the presence of 4 fault zones within the Hamilton Basin (Figure 1) that represented a potential hazard to infrastructure within the Basin. Hence, the overall aim of the proposal put to EQC was to refine the locations of four potentially active faults within the Hamilton Basin. To achieve this aim, two main phases of geophysical surveying were planned: 1. A seismic reflection survey along the Waikato River channel; and 2. Resistivity surveying to examine the sub- surface structure of identified fault zones. Additional MSc student projects, funded by Waikato Regional Council, were proposed to map the surface geology and geomorphology, and assess the liquefaction potential within the Hamilton Basin. During the course of the project, the initial earthworks Figure 1: Map of the four fault zones that were initially identified from geomorphology for the Hamilton Section of the Waikato Expressway and surface fault exposures, as presented in provided exposures of faults, which resulted in some the original proposal. modification of the project. 2. Methods The two main methodological approaches planned for this project were: 1. A high resolution CHIRP seismic reflection survey along the Waikato River within the Hamilton Basin. A previous study examining the stability of the river banks in response to fluctuating water levels (Wood, 2006) had obtained detailed data on the morphology of the river bed using multi-beam and single-beam echo sounders (MBES and SBES respectively), and side scan sonar.

  • Understanding Water Quality in Raglan Harbour
    Australasian Coasts & Ports Conference 2015 Greer, S. D. et al. 15 - 18 September 2015, Auckland, New Zealand Understanding Water Quality in Raglan Harbour Understanding Water Quality in Raglan Harbour S. D Greer1, R McIntosh2, S. Harrison2, D Phillips3 and S. Mead1 1 eCoast, Raglan, New Zealand; [email protected] 2 School of Science, University of Waikato, New Zealand 3 Unitec, Auckland, New Zealand Abstract Raglan (Whaingaroa) Harbour is located on the west coast of New Zealand’s North Island and is bordered by the Raglan township on the southern side close to the entrance. Land use in the watershed is dominated by dairy farming and forestry, which impact harbour water quality. A consented wastewater outfall is located at the harbour mouth close to the densely developed and populated area of the catchment. Over the years, there have been a number of reported spills and unlicensed releases from the treatment facility into the harbour. However, there is little context of the scale of the operation, and of the spills, against contaminant levels from inflowing rivers which are affected by land use practices. We address these uncertainties using a numerical modelling approach. Here we present a calibrated hydrodynamic model linked to a 13-river catchment model. Both of these models are used to drive a subsequent water quality model which simulates the transport and decay of Faecal Coliforms (FC) in the harbour. Model runs include a yearlong simulation of 2012 in its entirety, as well as a wastewater spill event that occurred in June of 2013. Results illustrate the seasonality of the water quality in the harbour with the largest concentrations of FC occurring in winter.

  • 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.
