Introduction 1. This report was commissioned for the Wai-2521 claim lodged by Graham Hoete, Umuhuri Matehaere, Kataraina Keepa, Jacqueline Taro Haimona and Te Atarangi Sayers on behalf of Ngā Hapū o te Moutere o Motiti (defined as ‘Ngāi Te Hapū me ōna karanga hapū, namely Ngāti Makerewai, Ngāti Takahanga, Ngāti Kauaewera, and Ngāti Pau’ in the second amended statement of claim) on 22 June 2015.1 Among other things, the claimants allege that the Crown has failed to appropriately recognise and engage with them as tangata whenua of Motiti Island in terms of both their historic and contemporary Treaty issues. The report considers the history of Māori use and occupation of Motiti island, the relationships between different iwi and hapū as they pertain to Motiti historically, the history of land ownership and title adjudications on Motiti, and how the Crown has engaged with the people of Motiti historically. 2. In examining these matters, the report draws upon a variety of published and unpublished, primary and secondary, sources as identified in the references provided. For a small island, Motiti has a surprisingly large repository of archival records relating to its history, only a very small fraction of which appear to have been consulted for the purposes of recent Office of Treaty Settlements’ inquiries into the merits of the Wai-2521 claim. My report is also informed by a visit to Motiti in March 2018, when I was welcomed onto Te Ruakopiha marae and visited many important sites on the island in the company of local kaumātua. 3. At times this report traverses matters of whakapapa and custom based on evidence presented in the Native Land Court and elsewhere in so far as these are relevant to understanding the history of Motiti. However, it is not my intention to question anyone’s whakapapa today – or indeed their right to identify as they choose. Neither does the report reach any conclusions about who the tangata whenua of Motiti are today and how they relate to other iwi and hapū. That is more appropriately addressed in tangata whenua evidence. Likewise, matters of current Crown Treaty settlements policy are addressed only in so far as they relate to the interpretation of historical evidence concerning Motiti. 1 Second Amended Statement of Claim, 14 November 2017, Wai-2521, #1.1.0001(b), p.1. 1 4. Because the labels and terminology used to describe different people are critical issues in the history outlined in this report, a brief explanation of the approach adopted here seems necessary. Obviously, in direct quotations, the tribal name is reproduced exactly as it appeared in the source document. Where I paraphrase from particular sources and the label used in them is important (census returns, for example) then I have sought to remain faithful to the source. When seeking to distinguish between the Patuwai people of Motiti and those of Whakatane, I have used the names Patuwai ki Motiti and/or Patuwai ki Whakatane. In other cases, the context makes clear which group I refer to. Elsewhere, I use Ngāi Te Hapū, Patuwai or Ngāi Te Hapū/Patuwai to refer to the people of Motiti described in the Wai-2521 claim. 2. Motiti Island 5. Motiti Island is located in the Bay of Plenty, 21 kilometres north-east from Tauranga and approximately 12 kilometres in a northerly direction from the closest onshore point at Papamoa. The island is approximately 7.5km2 or 720 hectares in area and rises only 56 metres above sea level, consisting mostly of a volcanic plateau with steep cliffs along many of the coasts. Motiti is held under a mix of general and Māori land titles. The greater part of the island was awarded to members of Ngāi Tauwhao by the Native Land Court. Out of the 1090 acres they received, 890 acres was alienated to a private European party and a further 200 acres set aside as a reserve. The northern end of the island awarded to members of Ngāi Te Hapū/Patuwai (565 acres) remains in their ownership, along with a further 166 acres secured through a land exchange. There is no Crown land on the island (a small section gifted for a Native School having been returned to Māori ownership following the school’s closure in the 1960s) and no public infrastructure. 6. The island itself is surrounded by multiple reefs and islets as identified by Ngā Hapū o Te Moutere o Motiti in their application for recognition orders pursuant to the Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Act 2011. The islets include Motu Haku, Motu Nau, Motu Puta, Motu Kahakaha, Motu a Rua, Motu Patiki, Motu o Turita, and Motu Tapu. The associated reefs or sacred rocks

  • Archaeology of the Bay of Plenty
    Figure 10. Pa at Ruatoki, of Plenty region. This is a plausible date for this region, as can be seen W16/167. from the individual site reviews. It shows that the emergence of a perceived need for security in the region occurred as early there as anywhere else in New Zealand. 9.2.3 Terraces Terrace sites are common in the Bay of Plenty and may or may not be associated with pits or midden. As noted in the section under pits in the field records, terrace sites are more likely to have midden associated with them than are pit sites, which is consistent with terraces having a primarily domestic (housing) function. On excavation, terraces often turn out to be part of wider site complexes. In the Kawerau area, the Tarawera lapilli has filled most pits, so that the sites appear now as if they were simple terrace sites only. O’Keefe (1991) has extracted the number of terraces per site from the recorded sites in the western Bay of Plenty. Single terraces occur most frequently, and the frequency of sites with larger numbers of terraces decreases regularly up to sites with about nine terraces. Thereafter, sites with larger numbers of terraces are more frequent than would be expected. This indicates that sites with ten or more terraces comprise a different population, perhaps the result of construction under different social circumstances than the smaller sites. Undefended occupation sites are represented in the excavation record, most notably the Maruka research project at Kawerau (Lawlor 1981; Walton 1981; Furey 1983). Elsewhere in New Zealand, records indicate that some undefended sites have had long occupancies, and have yielded reasonably numerous artefacts.

The western area of the District (Tauranga Moana) was occupied by the iwi of Ngati Ranginui, Ngaiterangi and Ngati Pukenga from the waka Takitumu and Mataatua. Te Arawa descendants from the waka Te Arawa inhabited much of the eastern area of the District and south to Rotorua. Traders and missionaries were among the first European settlers who developed communities at Maketu and Tauranga. George Vesey Stewart founded Ulster settlements at both Katikati in 1875 and Te Puke in 1880. Tauranga, Te Puke and Katikati formed the nucleus for subsequent expansion of European pastoral farms. Te Puke and Katikati have grown steadily over the years and are the largest settlements in the District.
