Wai 770 Te Karaitiana Te Korou Report vi II. Introduction ii.i. The Claim Edward Karaitiana of Christchurch lodged the Wai 770 claim in September 1998.1 The claim covered many issues in the Wairarapa including Crown purchases, the Wairarapa lakes and historic and present landlessness of Wairarapa Maori. At a meeting with the researcher in 2002 the claimant was particularly concerned that he and his family were essentially landless, even though they were the descendents of Wairarapa chiefs, including Karaitiana Te Korou. ii.ii. The Commission Following the filing of his scoping report, the Waitangi Tribunal commissioned Craig Innes on 22 July to write a substantive report for the Wai 770 claim.2 The Tribunal commissioned Bob Metcalf to provide research assistance on 3 December 2002.3 The commission required research into: (a) Crown purchases in the 1850s and the implications and repercussions of those transactions including: payments to family members, complaint regarding the five percent payments and the role of whanau members in the creation of the Masterton township. (b) The impact of the Native Land Court process on the whanau in particular the role of debt and the link to land alienation, and the response of whanau members to those processes. (c) An investigation of the land interests of Karaitiana Korou at his death and what therefore was available to subsequent generations. 1 Wai 863, doc number 1.14 2 Scoping report is Wai 863, document number A21. Commission is Wai 863 doc number 3.8 3 Wai 863 doc number 3.19 Wai 770 Te Karaitiana Te Korou Report vii ii.iii. Methodology Given the timeframes involved it proved to be impossible to explore all of the issues surrounding the Native Land Court hearings that Karaitiana Te Korou was involved in. All the key hearings have been summarised and included as an appendix. Given the paucity of sources available it proved difficult to identify all members of the wider whanau. The research focus has therefore been upon Retimana and his two children Karaitiana Te Korou (son) and Erihapeti Whakamairu (daughter). It sometimes proved difficult to identify Karaitiana Te Korou as ‘Karaitiana’ meaning ‘christian’ was a relatively common name and there were several other people by the same name in the Wairarapa area. The signature ‘Karaitiana’ appears on a number of deeds, with no indication as to which person signed. Where there is a reference to a ‘Karaitiana’ in the historic record, no assumption to the identity has been made unless there is supporting evidence to indicate that it was Karaitiana Te Korou. The whanau members used a number of different names with variable spellings in English. For the sake of simplicity the following names have been used in the report text: Retimana Te Korou (Also known simply as Te Korou, Te Retimana Te Korou and Ritimona), Karaitiana Te Korou (Also known as Te Tua o te Rangi, Te Turuki, Karaitiana te Tua), Erihapeti Whakamairu (Erihapeti Hineiteairarangi, Irihapeti), and Hoana Te Korou (also known as Hine-whaka-aewa, Hoana Hine-whaka-aea, Hoana Te Korou, Hoana Karaitiana). Draft translations by Takirirangi Smith of correspondence between Wairarapa Maori and Pakeha, including Crown officials such as Donald McClean, have been used. Alternative translations of sections of some of this correspondence provided by Jane McRae, who was commissioned to review the draft Smith translations, are provided in square brackets along side the relevant underlined sections of text. Jane McRae also offered alternative punctuation. This has not been included. Please note that the Wai 770 Te Karaitiana Te Korou Report viii translations relied on by this report were at the draft stage only (October/November 2001) and may vary from the final versions which
