Rū Te Whakaturu Whenua ~ 1 ~ Rū Te Whakaturu Whenua Understanding Hapū Relationships Through Cultural Mapping Jovan James Mokaraka-Harris A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Master of Arts in Geography. University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand 26th of April 2018 ~ 2 ~ Abstract: The paramount objective of this research is to critically analyse a model of knowledge revitalization, reproduction, re-dissemination and re-storage that underpins the traditional Māori essence of building hapū capacity and the relationship hapū descendants have with their ancestral lands. The contemporary application of traditional essence for the research objective above will investigate the use of GIS (Geographic Information System), UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) and various visual technologies to enhance the traditional knowledge aspirations of hapū via the form of indigenous cultural mapping. This form of cultural mapping will be analysed through three main realms: first, in terms of traditional aspects of mapping and the use of knowledge within; second, analysing mapping and the use of knowledge throughout the colonial process; and finally, piecing together the aspired future of cultural mapping and how this may provide insight into how the future of hapū development may be structured. Aligned with a Kaupapa Māori approach, the present research utilised a mixed methods approach utilising semi-structured interviews, site visits and participatory mapping techniques to gather information and ancestral knowledge aligned to the research objectives. ~ 3 ~ Acknowledgements: Saved always as the last section to be written this section is dedicated towards the acknowledgement of all the amazing people, communities and institutions that have given their precious time and awhi to the completion of this thesis. I must say my journey has been an absolute breeze. Very much in the same way I can say that I have not developed the preference for coffee first thing in the morning, every morning. But in reflection I truly can say I have very much enjoyed the process and know it has been worth the ride. I would first of all like to acknowledge and thank our manukura for sharing and entrusting your valuable and highly esteemed knowledge and advice over the duration of our knowledge building process. It was an immense honour to have had the opportunity to come spend time, share kai for the mind and also to share kai for the puku as well. It was very much a privilege sitting at the feet of your knowledge and listening to your kōrero. Secondly, I would like to acknowledge the two most awesome and supportive supervisors, Michelle and Christina. Once again thank you two very much for all the support and encouragement you have given me over duration of this mahi. Thank you for providing me with so many opportunities to present and express my ideas with wider audiences and having the most utmost confidence in me when I did not. I am very grateful to you two and all the awhi that has supported me. Ngā mihi kia kōrua I would like to thank kindly University of Otago (University of Otago Māori Postgraduate Scholarship), Te Rūnanga o Te Rarawa (Tarutaru me Ruapounamu Memorial), Omapere Taraire E & Rangihamama X3A Ahu Whenua Trust and Taitokerau Maori Trust Board for providing me with essential financial support during the duration of my postgraduate studies. I am ever indebted thank you very much for your assurance and having been given the opportunity. My final dedication and last acknowledgement goes out to my whānau, Shawnee and your whānau. Thank you very much for allowing me to grow up in a safe and positive environment. Thank you for being there all the way and allowing me to aspire to be. There is one debt that will always be bigger than my student loan. It is one of those debts that I am glad to have, and it is the debt I have to you all. It consists of endless love and support; and hand-me-down shoes that I will continue to walk in, forever wishing that one day I will be able to fill them ~ 4 ~ Contents:

I hope to, through the following pages make a small contribution to the remembrance of some of those main characters and so if by chance I miss out on anybody that should have been noted then I do apologise to the reader.

  • Auckland Regional Office of Archives New Zealand
    A supplementary finding-aid to the archives relating to Maori Schools held in the Auckland Regional Office of Archives New Zealand MAORI SCHOOL RECORDS, 1879-1969 Archives New Zealand Auckland holds records relating to approximately 449 Maori Schools, which were transferred by the Department of Education. These schools cover the whole of New Zealand. In 1969 the Maori Schools were integrated into the State System. Since then some of the former Maori schools have transferred their records to Archives New Zealand Auckland. Building and Site Files (series 1001) For most schools we hold a Building and Site file. These usually give information on: • the acquisition of land, specifications for the school or teacher’s residence, sometimes a plan. • letters and petitions to the Education Department requesting a school, providing lists of families’ names and ages of children in the local community who would attend a school. (Sometimes the school was never built, or it was some years before the Department agreed to the establishment of a school in the area). The files may also contain other information such as: • initial Inspector’s reports on the pupils and the teacher, and standard of buildings and grounds; • correspondence from the teachers, Education Department and members of the school committee or community; • pre-1920 lists of students’ names may be included. There are no Building and Site files for Church/private Maori schools as those organisations usually erected, paid for and maintained the buildings themselves. Admission Registers (series 1004) provide details such as: - Name of pupil - Date enrolled - Date of birth - Name of parent or guardian - Address - Previous school attended - Years/classes attended - Last date of attendance - Next school or destination Attendance Returns (series 1001 and 1006) provide: - Name of pupil - Age in years and months - Sometimes number of days attended at time of Return Log Books (series 1003) Written by the Head Teacher/Sole Teacher this daily diary includes important events and various activities held at the school.

    Draft Historic account Te Rarawa settlement July 2011 The purpose of this draft document is to provide the opportunity for Te Rarawa hapu/marae to have input into the historic account that summarises the history of the relationship between Te Rarawa and the Crown from 1840-1992. The historic account will be subject to negotiation and agreement between Te Rarawa and the Crown before being included as part of the Deed of Settlement. This document is yet to be agreed to by Te Rarawa or the Crown. There are a few areas yet to be developed (see p.59) You are invited to peruse the document and make comment back to the Negotiations team by the 15th August, 2011 on the following matters: Are the main grievances for your hapu adequately captured in the account? Are there any factual errors? Are there any gaps to be filled? Please provide any comments or write them directly on the draft. For further information please contact any of the Negotiations or Historic Research Team: Paul White [email protected] Aroha Harris [email protected] Joe Cooper [email protected] Haami Piripi [email protected] Malcolm Peri [email protected] Kevin Robinson [email protected] Draft Te Rarawa Historic Account, July 2011 Page 1 Draft Te Rarawa Historic Account, July 2011 Page 2 Section one He Whakaputanga and Te Tiriti o Waitangi 1. The 1830s marked the early beginnings of engagement between Te Rarawa and the British Crown. Te Rarawa was part of an emergent Maori nation that was forming in the years prior to 1840 and this is evidenced in formal letters, ceremonies and meetings with British dignitaries in Australia and England at that time.
