  • Te Tiriti, Te Wai and Changing Pākehā
    NOBODY OWNS WATER: TE TIRITI, TE WAI AND CHANGING PĀKEHĀ by James Graham A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Environmental Studies Victoria University of Wellington 2015 Within the harbour, a white obelisk commemorating the ferocious battle between the Europeans and the Filipinos offers two sharply varying accounts of those events. One face presents the European point of view: ‘Here on 27th April 1521 the great Portuguese navigator Hernanado de Magallances in the service of the King of Spain was slain by native Filipinos.’ Another face portrays the conflict from the Filipino perspective: ‘Here on this spot the great chieftain Lapu repelled an attack by Ferdinand Magellan, killing him and sending his forces away.’ (Bergreen, 2003, p. 283) i Abstract Colonisation has been described as being at least in part about securing and controlling natural resources and the history of relationships between indigenous people and subsequent settlers as largely representing a battle for control over those resources (Kahn, 1999). A current example is the contest between Māori and the Crown over access to and control over fresh water resources in Aotearoa/New Zealand, part of a wider assertion of Māori rights under the Treaty of Waitangi (Ruru, 2012; Mikaere, 1997; Wikaira 2010). The Ministry for the Environment reports that Māori assertions of water ownership should be addressed before any changes to water management can occur (Ministry for the Environment, 2005). Pākehā responses to Māori interests in water are critical to future outcomes for both Pākehā and Māori.

  • 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.

  • Te Tiriti O Waitangi Statute
    Te Tiriti o Waitangi Statute 1. Purpose a) The purpose of this Statute is to outline the principles adopted by Council to enact the University’s obligations that derive from section 281(b) of the Education and Training Act 2020. b) As a University, we embrace the Treaty of Waitangi as one of our distinctive qualities. The principles, as articulated in this Statute, enable Victoria University of Wellington to realise opportunities under Te Tiriti o Waitangi/Treaty of Waitangi to further advance the University and contribute to the betterment of New Zealand society. 2. Application of Statute a) This Statute applies to staff members, students, and Council members of the University. Statute Content 3. Principles a) The following principles have been drawn from Te Tiriti o Waitangi, New Zealand case law, Waitangi Tribunal reports, Crown policy documents, the University’s governance documents, and mātauranga Māori. b) The principle of Kāwanatanga stems from Article One of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, which used Kāwanatanga to mean governance. In the context of the University, this means that the Council has an obligation to provide good governance for the University as a whole and to act reasonably and in good faith, including with its Māori staff, students and stakeholders. c) The principle of Rangatiratanga recognises Māori autonomy and self-determination, as guaranteed in Article Two of Te Tiriti o Waitangi. In the context of the University, it means encouraging senior Māori leadership roles and entities, spaces and events where tikanga Māori prevails, and engagement with and rights over te reo and mātauranga Māori. d) The principle of Options (Kōwhiringa) acknowledges Māori rights to pursue their own personal direction, whether that be in accordance with tikanga Māori or not.

  • New Zealand Experience: the Twaty of Waitangi
    New Zealand Experience: The Twaty Of Waitangi Alan Ward The main point The main point I wish to advance in this paper is that no matter how finely worded a treaty might be, it will not be effective unless there is a broad political consensus to make it effective. Professor Brij La1 has shown in his paper that despite the meticulous care and widespread consulta- tion that underlay the making of the 1997 Fijian constitution, it was abro- gated by force by sections of Fijian society who were not fundamentally in sympathy with it. Much the same can be argued in respect of the Treaty of Waitangi in New Zealand. When proposals for a treaty with the Aboriginal people began to be mooted in the 1970s it was commonly argued in Australia (as indeed it still is) that the situation of Maori in New Zealand was markedly better than that of Aborigines in Australia, because Maori had the benefit of a treaty their chiefs signed with the British in 1840, the Treaty of Waitangi. In contrast, many New Zealanders, including many Maori, were quite cynical, in the light of their experience, about what a treaty might achieve for Aborigines. As recently as 1983, the New Zealand Maori Council, the senior Maori representative body, established (like ATSIC) under an act of parliament, stated as follows: "In the treatment and handling of Maori claims the Treaty of Waitangi has been sadly denigrated. Unlike many other countries where treaties and the facts of prior occupation have been regarded by the Courts as proper sources of domestic law resulting in a body of court laws on treaty and indigenous rights, the New Zealand courts have consistently denied that the Treaty fo Waitangi forms part of our domestic law or that such sources of law could exist.

  • KIWI BIBLE HEROES Te Pahi
    KIWI BIBLE HEROES Te Pahi Te Pahi was one of the most powerful chiefs in the Bay of Islands at the turn of the 19th century. His principal pa was on Te Puna, an Island situated between Rangihoua and Moturoa. He had several wives, five sons and three daughters. Having heard great reports of Governor Phillip King on Norfolk Island, Te Pahi set sail in 1805 with his four sons to meet him. The ship’s master treated Te Pahi and his family poorly during the trip and on arrival decided to retain one of his sons as payments for the journey. To make matters worse, Te Pahi discovered that King had now become the Governor of New South Wales and was no longer on Norfolk Island. Captain Piper, who was now the authority on Norfolk Island, used his powers to rescue Te Pahi and his sons and treated them kindly until the arrival of the Buffalo. Te Pahi and his sons continued their journey to Sydney on the Buffalo in their quest to meet King. In Sydney they were taken to King’s residence where they presented him with gifts from New Zealand. During their stay in Sydney, Te Pahi attended the church at Parramatta conducted by Samuel Marsden. Te Pahi had long conversations with Marsden about spiritual Sources: matters and showed particular interest in the Christian http://www.teara.govt.nz/en/biographies/1t53/te-pahi accessed May 21, 2014 God.

  • Te Ua Haumene Horpapera Tuwhakararo, Te Kooti and Others Who Saw Visions in the Maori Wars of the 1860S
    chapter 14 Te Ua Haumene Horpapera Tuwhakararo, Te Kooti and Others who saw Visions in the Maori Wars of the 1860s What Governor Eyre had feared in Jamaica in the early 1860s actually came to pass in New Zealand. Large numbers of Maori evangelists, teachers and assis- tants chose to fight the British army rather than see more of their land seized by white settlers and the colonial government. Some of them claimed the authority of God and the Bible for their cause. Many held denominationally orthodox Sunday services throughout the conflict. Others claimed inspiration from heavenly messengers who commanded them to preach new versions of Christianity. Atrocities and murders carried out by prophets and their acolytes shocked white New Zealanders and called the whole missionary endeavour into question. However, because they were not perceived as an existential chal- lenge to colonial authority, they did not provoke anything like the extreme reactions against indigenous evangelism seen in Jamaica. Causes of the Wars and Maori Christian Involvement Christianity and Maori evangelists are everywhere to be seen during the New Zealand wars that dragged on without a decisive resolution right into the early 1870s. The conflict originated in 1860 over a land dispute in Taranaki on the North Island. Governor Gore Browne had become concerned that the Maori King movement launched in 1858, which aimed to stem the tide of Maori land alienation by establishing a single authority to deal with the British Queen, would become an insuperable obstacle to legitimate land transfers from will- ing Maori sellers to eager colonial buyers.

  • Historical Snapshot of Porirua
    HISTORICAL SNAPSHOT OF PORIRUA This report details the history of Porirua in order to inform the development of a ‘decolonised city’. It explains the processes which have led to present day Porirua City being as it is today. It begins by explaining the city’s origins and its first settlers, describing not only the first people to discover and settle in Porirua, but also the migration of Ngāti Toa and how they became mana whenua of the area. This report discusses the many theories on the origin and meaning behind the name Porirua, before moving on to discuss the marae establishments of the past and present. A large section of this report concerns itself with the impact that colonisation had on Porirua and its people. These impacts are physically repre- sented in the city’s current urban form and the fifth section of this report looks at how this development took place. The report then looks at how legislation has impacted on Ngāti Toa’s ability to retain their land and their recent response to this legislation. The final section of this report looks at the historical impact of religion, particularly the impact of Mormonism on Māori communities. Please note that this document was prepared using a number of sources and may differ from Ngati Toa Rangatira accounts. MĀORI SETTLEMENT The site where both the Porirua and Pauatahanui inlets meet is called Paremata Point and this area has been occupied by a range of iwi and hapū since at least 1450AD (Stodart, 1993). Paremata Point was known for its abundant natural resources (Stodart, 1993).
