Peter has decided that the time has come to pass on his collection of books, manuscripts and documents to a new generation of collectors. This is a large and varied sale; one of the major items to go under the hammer is the manuscript diary of Henry Nottidge Moseley, naturalist from the famous 1873-1876 journey of HMS Challenger, described at the time “as the greatest advance in the knowledge of our planet since the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries”. Conducted just thirteen years after Darwin’s Origin of Species, Challenger was charged with the task of constructing a fossil record that would test the new theory of evolution. The Challenger was to invent oceanography and was a forerunner of NASA’s Challenger Space Shuttle. Another important diary in the sale is the manuscript journal of Master Mariner Captain Thomas Capel Tilly, R.N. Tilly served in the Crimea and was Agent for the Melanesian Mission in Auckland in the late 19th century. Another item of importance is the Manuscript Journal of John Anstis [1699-1744] ‘Heraldic Emblems M-S’. The sale also includes a wide variety of early New Zealand first editions, photographs, maps, manuscripts, letters and antiquarian books. Among a large selection of early Maori printings are an early variant copy of New Zealand’s founding document, Treaty of Waitangi in Maori ‘Ko Wikitoria Kuini o Ingarani I tana…” and a Second edition of the 1835 Declaration of Independence signed by Maori chiefs.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. i Portrayals of the Moriori People Historical, Ethnographical, Anthropological and Popular sources, c. 1791- 1989 By Read Wheeler A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History, Massey University, 2016 ii Abstract Michael King’s 1989 book, Moriori: A People Rediscovered, still stands as the definitive work on the Moriori, the Native people of the Chatham Islands. King wrote, ‘Nobody in New Zealand – and few elsewhere in the world- has been subjected to group slander as intense and as damaging as that heaped upon the Moriori.’ Since its publication, historians have denigrated earlier works dealing with the Moriori, arguing that the way in which they portrayed Moriori was almost entirely unfavourable. This thesis tests this conclusion. It explores the perspectives of European visitors to the Chatham Islands from 1791 to 1989, when King published Moriori. It does this through an examination of newspapers, Native Land Court minutes, and the writings of missionaries, settlers, and ethnographers. The thesis asks whether or not historians have been selective in their approach to the sources, or if, perhaps, they have ignored the intricacies that may have informed the views of early observers. The thesis argues that during the nineteenth century both Maori and European perspectives influenced the way in which Moriori were portrayed in European narrative.

  • William Wakefield Memorial Dufferin Street
    Date: 26 November 2013 William Wakefield Memorial Dufferin Street Summary of heritage significance • The Wakefield Memorial is of architectural value for its design and form, in particular as a Victorian interpretation of Classical architecture and the Grecian temple form. The structure is simple but well formed and attractive. • This memorial is one of Wellington’s most significant monuments. It is primarily associated with William Wakefield, whose life and achievements it commemorates. William Wakefield (1803-1848) was the first leader of the Wellington settlement in 1840, a key official in the New Zealand Company, and a significant figure in the European colonisation of Wellington and New Zealand. • The Wakefield Memorial is an unusual type of structure for a memorial, with most others in Wellington being statues or obelisks. Nationally it is a rare structure as prefabricated monuments are unusual in New Zealand, and the cast iron elements add to its significance. 1 Date: 26 November 2013 District Plan: Map 16, reference 11 Lot 1 DP 90475 (CT WN58A/615), Wellington Land Legal Description: District Heritage Area: HPT Listed: Category I, reference 1441, Basin Reserve Historic Area Archaeological Site: NZAA Central City Archaeological Are R27/270 Other Names: - Key physical dates: Construction: 1850s, Relocated: 1882, 1917, 2006 Architect / Builder: - Former uses: Memorial Current uses: Memorial Earthquake Prone Status: Unknown at time of writing Extent: Cityview GIS 2013 2 Date: 26 November 2013 1.0 Outline History 1.1 History1 The Wakefield Memorial commemorates Colonel William Wakefield (1803-1848), the first leader of the Wellington settlement in 1840, a key official in the New Zealand Company, and a significant figure in the European colonisation of Wellington and New Zealand.

  • THE CULT of RUA During the First Third of The
    Allan Hanson CHRISTIAN BRANCHES, MAORI ROOTS: THE CULT OF RUA During the first third of the twentieth century a New Zealand Maori named Rua Kenana, proclaiming himself to be a Messiah and the brother of Jesus, or even Jesus himself, headed a millenarian move- ment that attracted many adherents among Maoris of the Tuhoe and Whakatohea tribes.' The movement included the express intention to eradicate all traces of the old Maori religion. Nevertheless, the cult contained much that derived from indigenous Maori culture. This essay attempts to sort out the Judeo-Christian and Maori sources of Thanks are due to Judith Binney and Peter Webster, without whose careful scholar- ship this paper could not have been written. I am also grateful to Louise Hanson and Fransje Knops for critical comments. I Rua's cult had received very little scholarly attention prior to the appearance of two books, researched independently but both published in 1979. Judith Binney, Gillian Chaplin, and Craig Wallace, Mihaia: The Prophet Rua Kenana and His Community at Maungapohatu (Wellington: Oxford University Press, 1979), tell the story of the move- ment by means of a wealth of contemporaneous photographs conjoined with a carefully researched narrative by Binney. Peter Webster, Rua and the Maori Millennium (Welling- ton: Prince Milburn for Victoria University Press, 1979), perceptively analyzes the cult in terms of a general, cross-cultural theory of millenarian movements. Binney has pub- lished two further essays on Rua's cult, "Maungapohatu Revisited: or, How the Govern- ment Underdeveloped a Maori Community," Journal of the Polynesian Society 92 (1983): 353-92, and "Myth and Explanation in the Ringatu Tradition: Some Aspects of the Leadership of Te Kooti Arikirangi Te Turuku and Rua Kenana Hepetipa," Journal of the Polynesian Society 93 (1984): 345-98.

  • Documenting Maori History
    Documenting Maori History: THE ARREST OF TE KOOTI RIKIRANGI TE TURUKI, 1889* TRUTH is ever a casualty of war and of the aftermath of war and so it is of the conflicts between Maori and Pakeha in New Zealand. A bare hun- dred years is too short a time for both peoples, still somewhat uncertainly working out their relationships in New Zealand, to view the nineteenth- century conflicts with much objectivity. Indeed, partly due to the con- fidence and articulateness of the younger generations of Maoris and to their dissatisfaction with the Pakeha descriptions of what is and what happened, the covers have only in the last decade or so really begun to be ripped off the struggles of a century before. Some truth is emerging, in the sense of reasonably accurate statements about who did what and why, but so inevitably is a great deal of myth-making, of the casting of villains and the erection of culture-heroes by Maoris to match the villains and culture-heroes which were created earlier by the Pakeha—and which many Pakeha of a post-imperial generation now themselves find very inadequate. In all of this academics are going to become involved, partly because they are going to be dragged into it by the public, by their students and by the media, and partly because it is going to be difficult for some of them to resist the heady attractions of playing to the gallery of one set or another of protagonists or polemicists, frequently eager to have the presumed authority of an academic imprimatur on their particular ver- sion of what is supposed to have happened.

  • Labourers' Letters in the New Zealand Journal, Wellington, 1840-45: Lefebvre, Bernstein and Pedagogies of Appropriation
    Labourers' letters in the New Zealand Journal, Wellington, 1840-45: Lefebvre, Bernstein and pedagogies of appropriation. Sue Middleton School of Education, University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand School of Education University of Waikato Private Bag 3105, Waikato Mail Centre Hamilton 3240 New Zealand. Email: [email protected] Paper presented at the British Educational Research Association Annual Conference, University of Manchester, 2-5 September 2009 Henri Lefebvre suggested that social researchers engage in „the concrete analysis of rhythms‟ in order to reveal the „pedagogy of appropriation (the appropriation of the body, as of spatial practice)‟. Lefebvre‟s spatial analysis has influenced educational researchers, while the idea of „pedagogy‟ has travelled beyond education. This interdisciplinary paper combines Lefebvre‟s analytical trilogy of perceived, conceived and lived spaces with Bernstein‟s „pedagogical device‟ in an interrogation of historical documents. It engages in a „rhythm analysis‟ of the New Zealand Company‟s „pedagogical appropriation‟ of a group of agricultural labourers into its „systematic colonisation scheme‟. The temporal-spatial rhythms of the labourers‟ lives are accessible in nine surviving letters they wrote in Wellington and sent to Surrey between 1841-1844. By revealing how their bodies were „traversed by rhythms rather as the „ether‟ is traversed by waves,‟ we understand how bodies, social space and the self are mutually constitutive and constituted. Keywords: history; Lefebvre; letters/literacy; colonisation Education‟s fragmented fields of inquiry retain some coherence in their common orientation around the „pedagogical.‟ As borders between human sciences became increasingly porous, the idea of „the pedagogical‟ flowed beyond education into disciplines such as geography.

  • 7. Poverty Bay and East Coast
    7. Poverty Bay and East Coast The first fighting in the Poverty Bay and East Coast regions took place in 1865 at Tokomaru Bay, Waiapu and Hicks Bay, mostly between sections of the Ngāti Porou tribe (Cowan 1983 II: 117–123; Soutar 2000). On one side were Pai Marire (‘Hau Hau’) or ‘Kingite’ forces and on the other ‘Queenite’ Māori forces and allied Pākehā. There followed a six-day siege of the Pai Marire pā Waerenga-a-Hika in Poverty Bay in November 1865, resulting in surrender of the pā and the deaths of 11 men on the government side and more than 100 Pai Marire (Cowan 1983 II: 124–128) . On 10 July 1868, Te Kooti Arikirangi and 300 followers landed at Whareongaonga, south of Poverty Bay, having escaped from imprisonment on the Chatham Islands. This led to fighting in the next four years over much of the central and eastern North Island, with fortifications involved at Ngatapa (7.5), inland of Poverty Bay in December 1868 and January 1869, at Whakatane in March 1869 (5.31, 5.34), Mohaka in April 1869 (8.1, 8.6), and in October 1869 at Te Porere (6.15– 16), south of Lake Taupo (Cowan 1983: II ; Binney 1995: 87–208). Fortifications in this section are listed under: • Poverty Bay • East Coast POVERTY BAY 7.1 Crow’s Nest X17/32 (2908600E 6288600N); recorded 1991, update 1999. Ngatapa; 800 m east of Ngatapa Trig, on the crest of prominent ridge forming the right flank of the approach to Ngatapa pā (7.5).

  • The Canterbury Association
    The Canterbury Association (1848-1852): A Study of Its Members’ Connections By the Reverend Michael Blain Note: This is a revised edition prepared during 2019, of material included in the book published in 2000 by the archives committee of the Anglican diocese of Christchurch to mark the 150th anniversary of the Canterbury settlement. In 1850 the first Canterbury Association ships sailed into the new settlement of Lyttelton, New Zealand. From that fulcrum year I have examined the lives of the eighty-four members of the Canterbury Association. Backwards into their origins, and forwards in their subsequent careers. I looked for connections. The story of the Association’s plans and the settlement of colonial Canterbury has been told often enough. (For instance, see A History of Canterbury volume 1, pp135-233, edited James Hight and CR Straubel.) Names and titles of many of these men still feature in the Canterbury landscape as mountains, lakes, and rivers. But who were the people? What brought these eighty-four together between the initial meeting on 27 March 1848 and the close of their operations in September 1852? What were the connections between them? In November 1847 Edward Gibbon Wakefield had convinced an idealistic young Irishman John Robert Godley that in partnership they could put together the best of all emigration plans. Wakefield’s experience, and Godley’s contacts brought together an association to promote a special colony in New Zealand, an English society free of industrial slums and revolutionary spirit, an ideal English society sustained by an ideal church of England. Each member of these eighty-four members has his biographical entry.

  • (2004) a Sort of Conscience: the Wakefields. by Philip Temple
    80 New Zealand Journal of History, 38, 1 (2004) A Sort of Conscience: The Wakefields. By Philip Temple. Auckland University Press, Auckland, 2002. 584 pp. NZ price: $69.95. ISBN 1-86940-276-6. MY FIRST REACTION when asked to review this book was to ask myself, ‘is another book on Edward Gibbon Wakefield (EGW) really necessary, can more be wrung from that proverbial “thrice squeezed orange”?’ And, if so, need the book be of such length? What Philip Temple establishes in A Sort of Conscience is that the answer to these questions must surely be ‘yes’ and ‘yes’. Because here is a ‘panoramic book’ (the publisher’s term) this review will limit itself to its more striking features. First, the underlying argument. While conceding that the lives of almost the whole of the Wakefield family revolved around the career of ‘its most dynamic individual’, EGW himself, Temple believes that, in turn, the career of the great colonial reformer can be explained only when placed in the setting of the collective lives of members of the family. The result is a close consideration of the life story of certain dominating Wakefield figures. We learn of Priscilla, EGW’s radical Quaker grandmother, whose influence spanned generations, of whom hitherto most of us have known nothing. And there is the anatomization of EGW of course, his brothers William and Arthur, and his son Edward Jerningham (Teddy) about each of whom, after reading this book we must admit that we knew far less than we imagined. The Wakefields were a dysfunctional family, although Temple carefully does not introduce this concept until the close of the book lest we prejudge its members.
