  • Pastoralist and Maoris, Frederick Weld
    Pastoralist and Maoris FREDERICK WELD AT WHAREKAKA TRAVELLERS motoring into present-day Martinborough and taking time to observe the countryside traversed by the main road may pause to read an Historic Places Trust sign some ten kilometres south of the township. The placard marks the site of Wharekaka, the first sheep station to be established in the Wairarapa valley and the first of three properties belong- ing to one of the most successful pastoral partnerships in early New Zealand history. This article seeks to examine one of the least well docu- mented aspects of early pastoralism in the Wairarapa, the nature of rela- tions between the squatters and the local Maori people, the Ngati Kahungungu. by focussing in some detail on Frederick Weld's experiences and reactions during his first year in the valley. The study is important, first, for the insight it gives into a relatively neglected area of cultural contact in early New Zealand history. Second, the experiences and atti- tudes formulated during the first year in the valley help to explain the native policy pursued by Weld when minister of native affairs and premier, and the origin of the 'self-reliant' defence policy which marked his premiership in 1864-65. Weld was a most unlikely pioneer. Born into a prominent West Country Catholic family, twenty-year-old Frederick had arrived in Port Nicholson on St George's Day 1844 with a modest sum of gold sovereigns, and New Zealand Company land orders for one town and one hundred country acres in the settlement. In outward appearance this genteel and devout 'handsome blue-eyed aristocrat',1 with his long brown curling hair, slim build and history of delicate health, seemed singularly ill-fitted for the rigours of any kind of rough pioneering life.

  • English Law and the Mäori Response: a Case Study from the Runanga System in Northland, 1861-65
    ENGLISH LAW AND THE MÄORI RESPONSE: A CASE STUDY FROM THE RUNANGA SYSTEM IN NORTHLAND, 1861-65 VINCENT O’MALLEY HistoryWorks, Wellington Examples of the genuine devolution of state authority to Mäori tribal communities are few in New Zealand history until at least the late 20th century. Sir George Grey’s 1861 “plan of native government”, usually described as the “new institutions” or “runanga system” (Ward 1974:125), is often cited as one of the earliest efforts in this direction. Yet there was never any intention of allowing the runanga (tribal councils or assemblies) established under this system to develop into state-sanctioned instruments of genuine self-government. The extension of English law into what were perceived to be ungovernable Mäori districts remained the priority throughout. With unofficial runanga already widely established in many Mäori communities, officials saw an opportunity to harness the energies of these in pursuit of government objectives (O’Malley 2004:47). Widespread suspicion of Crown intentions in the wake of the first Taranaki War saw Grey’s plans flatly rejected in many areas (Ward 1974:132-33). Meanwhile, chiefs in those districts where the runanga system was most fully implemented proved no more willing to be duped into enforcing Päkehä laws against their own communities. Government officials, who had hoped to appropriate for their own ends the aspirations of Mäori in such districts for state recognition of existing tribal governance structures, instead found the new runanga system reappropriated by iwi (‘tribal’) leaders in pursuit of their own, rather different objectives. An assertion of British sovereignty from one perspective was thus viewed from another as belated recognition of the right of Mäori communities to manage their own affairs in accordance with their own customs, as had been widely understood by many chiefs to have been promised to them under the Treaty of Waitangi signed in 1840.
