PUSHING THE PROCESS: A WHĀNAU JOURNEY THROUGH THE TREATY OF WAITANGI CLAIMS PROCESS A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts at The University of Waikato by REECE DAVID HARRISON ______ The University of Waikato 2007 -i- Abstract This thesis follows the journey of a whānau (ngā uri a Arama Whakatau) in its claim to the Waitangi Tribunal under the Treaty of Waitangi Act 1986. In particular, it looks at inter-whānau dynamics before, during and after the claims process. The connections to the claimant area through whakapapa and establishing ahi kaa rights are identified, as are problems faced by lodging a claim at the whānau level. Aspects of inter-whānau, inter-hapū and inter-iwi politics are considered along with Crown agencies’ processes. The primary question posed in the thesis is whether a whānau claim is the more appropriate avenue compared to making a claim through the hapū or iwi. However, the inter-whānau dynamics are the core focus of the thesis in this ‘warts-and-all’ discussion from the perspective of the participant-observer. -ii- He Mihi He Mihi Kororia ki te Atua te Kaihanga o ngā mea katoa; Kia whakahonoretia Te Arikinui Tuheitia Ki ngā mate kua ngaro ki tua o Paerau – haere.

LAST MEETINGS MINUTES – Sat 4 May 2019 Draft Board Hui #6 Minutes circulated for consideration This item was deferred for consideration at the next Board Hui because although BD, VT and TA had attended that hui, but BD had not had a chance to look at the draft minutes. 5. MATTERS ARISING Storage King Received NRNWTB financial statements for the last three years. ElectioNZ Beneficiary Database Tavake received this excel spreadsheet database from ElectioNZ and had forwarded it to the other trustees with a mihi whakatapu and a request that we all respect the privacy of the peoples’ details and the confidentiality of the information it contained. Received an email from Hillarey to all trustees on the 16th of May alleging there has been a breach of confidentiality by the Chair for circulating the database electronically. Tavake had emailed in reply to ask Hillarey for more details about her comment but BD advised that she was overseas. Bruce attended a hui with Ngāti Manuhiri involving some people into their trust. He said that one of the Trustees on the Ngāti Manuhiri confronted Mook Hohneck with some comments about whakapapa? BD said the only way they would have got the whakapapa, was by someone having provided them with what Tavake had circulated electronically to the Trustees.

  • And Did She Cry in Māori?”
    “ ... AND DID SHE CRY IN MĀORI?” RECOVERING, REASSEMBLING AND RESTORYING TAINUI ANCESTRESSES IN AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND Diane Gordon-Burns Tainui Waka—Waikato Iwi A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History The University of Canterbury 2014 Preface Waikato taniwha rau, he piko he taniwha he piko he taniwha Waikato River, the ancestral river of Waikato iwi, imbued with its own mauri and life force through its sheer length and breadth, signifies the strength and power of Tainui people. The above proverb establishes the rights and authority of Tainui iwi to its history and future. Translated as “Waikato of a hundred chiefs, at every bend a chief, at every bend a chief”, it tells of the magnitude of the significant peoples on every bend of its great banks.1 Many of those peoples include Tainui women whose stories of leadership, strength, status and connection with the Waikato River have been diminished or written out of the histories that we currently hold of Tainui. Instead, Tainui men have often been valorised and their roles inflated at the expense of Tainui women, who have been politically, socially, sexually, and economically downplayed. In this study therefore I honour the traditional oral knowledges of a small selection of our tīpuna whaea. I make connections with Tainui born women and those women who married into Tainui. The recognition of traditional oral knowledges is important because without those histories, remembrances and reconnections of our pasts, the strengths and identities which are Tainui women will be lost. Stereotypical male narrative has enforced a female passivity where women’s strengths and importance have become lesser known.

  • Identification of Outstanding Natural Features and Landscapes Otamataha - Misson Cemetery
    part three Identification of Outstanding Natural Features and Landscapes Otamataha - Misson Cemetery Description: Located on the edge of central Tauranga, Otamataha comprises the remnant headland known as Te Papa. Prior to the reclamation of Sulphur Point and Chapel Street, Otamataha formed the headland to this part of Tauranga. Historically a Pa for Ngati Maru, the site became the Mission Cemetery and contains the earliest Pakeha graves in Tauranga. The site holds significant historical values to the City and has been recognised as such in the recently adopted Historic Reserves Management Plan (December 2008). The landscape surrounding and within the landscape feature has been significantly altered through infrastructure and transit based development. The Tauranga bridge and associated roading connections extend around the periphery of the site, resulting in the loss of natural features and landform. To the south of the site the new Sebel Hotel complex sits immediately adjacent to the site, and screens much of the site’s edge from view from the CBD area. Significant landscape features of the site comprise the remnant pohutukawa along the seaward edge and a significant stand of exotic specimen trees. The raised cliff edge and vegetation cover extends above the water’s edge and the Sebel Hotel, creating visual connection between the site and central Tauranga. Core Values: • Moderate natural science values associated with the remaining geomorphological values. • Moderate representative values due to the location and vegetation patterns. • Moderate shared and recognised values at a City level. • High historical values due to its sigificant archaeological features and heritage values. • Moderate aesthetic values associated with vegetation patterns along the harbour edge.
