ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Hawke’s Bay Regional Council and the Papanui Catchment Focus Group are grateful for the input of many people, especially Dr Roger Maaka, Dr Andy Hicks, Dr Adam Uytendaal, Hugh McBain and Dr James Graham. Historical information has been used from the book ‘Opening the Gate - The Story of the Te Aute District Book’, Baker et al., 2006. 1. Introduction 4 The 16,400 ha Papanui Catchment is one of 16 sub-catchments that flow into the Tukituki River. The catchment and surrounding area has a rich cultural history. Blessed with an abundance of natural resources, the catchment strategy, related issues such as biodiversity enhancement, was regarded by Māori as a ‘bread basket’ prior to European protecting landscape values, and preserving the cultural and settlement. Since then, the Papanui Stream and its tributaries historical significance of the catchment are also important to have been extensively modified for agriculture.

It is acknowledged that within the Papanui and other priority catchments additional effort will be required if water quality targets are to be met. The results of a landowner survey carried out in the Papanui and other priority sub catchments in 2013 showed a high regard for the importance of freshwater resources and an understanding of the issues that lead to declining water quality. A willingness to voluntarily adopt good industry practices was also expressed, it recognises the commitment of the community in taking ownership and playing a role in looking after the catchment. While improving water quality is the primary focus of this PHOTO: Phil Smith 2.

Managing these issues can be more suited to an integrated and adaptive approach that enables local solutions to be found and tailored to local needs. The purpose of this strategy is to coordinate a targeted, solution focused programme developed by and for the catchment community. 2.1 Aims and objectives 6 This strategy incorporates the water quality objectives of the Tukituki Plan Change 6 with wider catchment values identified by affected landowners, iwi and the wider community. This strategy uses information from research and established science, combined with local knowl- edge, to identify where to best target the invest- ment of effort and resource to achieve catchment outcomes. Key aims of the strategy are to: • Provide a vision for the future based on agreed outcomes and to outline a set of actions for achieving this vision. • Encourage land management practices that im- prove water quality, ecosystem health and mauri in the Papanui Stream and downstream in the Tukituki River. • Guide farm and landscape scale action pro- grammes for achieving catchment outcomes. • Keep the community informed of water quality issues and the effectiveness of programmes to address them. • Facilitate local ownership, stewardship and leader- ship of issues and solutions. • Provide a vehicle to engage and leverage support from external agencies. This strategy is intended to be a living document to be reviewed and updated when appropriate and as new information and insights become available. 2.2 Time frame 7 We’ve undertaken extensive science and land investigations: • Water quality investigations 2013-15 Papanui sub-catchment characterisation • Catchment groundwater study • Cultural impact assessment • Stream ecological assessments • Detailed catchment soil mapping Early Nov 2015 Draft Strategy sent to catchment Sept 2015 Catchment Focus Group landowners affected by Plan Change 6 and made completes draft Catchment Strategy available to the wider catchment community Dec 2015 Public meeting to present the Dec 2015 Feedback, comments and findings of water quality investigations and changes consolidated for final strategy receive feedback on the draft strategy Feb 2016 Final Catchment Strategy document Jan 2016 Final Catchment Strategy prepared published and made available to catchment and adopted by HBRC community Implementation 2016 onwards 3.

The Papanui Stream has three significant tributaries as well as numerous springs and ephemeral streams: • Kaikora Stream originates from limestone springs in the Raukawa Range and drains much of the hill country in the western catchment. • Holmwood Stream drains lower country within the middle catchment including the Otane Township. • Kaikora Drain or ‘Big Cut’ was excavated to drain what had until the late 19th century, been Lake Roto-A-Tara. The main drain is fed from a network of drainage channels in the productive peat flats that were formerly wetlands and lake bed. • Much of what is today referred to as the Papanui Stream includes the former Waipawa river-bed. Springs near the boundary with the Waipawa River catchment provide a residual flow in the former river bed. IMAGE: Digital elevation model of the Papanui Catchment Woolwich Frimley HASTINGS 3.

Primary School Kaimahi Hākinakina Assistant Production Manager Teacher Training (Sport HB) in a Horticultural Business Secondary School Podiatry Allied School Gym Manager Cycling Coach Teacher Training Health Assistant Welcome to Whakawatea: Industry Cooperative Whakawatea, which may refer to the closing song, is an apt title for the Industry Cooperative course in the Bachelor of Recreation and Sport programme. Completed by all students in the final year of the degree, this course gives students an opportunity to negotiate a 150-hour practicum experience aligned with the student’s academic and professional interests within the sport, recreation and health industry. Each student initiates, negotiates, develops, refines, implements, and ultimately reports upon a comprehensive project of benefit to their host organisation. Therefore the ‘co-op’ becomes a three-way venture between the student, a sport, recreation or health organisation and an academic supervisor. Each year the students become involved with numerous organisations, and the contribution to the community is a credit to the students, the hosting organisations and EIT. This booklet is designed to present summaries of the Whakawatea, Industry Cooperative projects for 2016. We hope you find it informative, interesting and motivating, whether reading it as a potential student, an interested industry partner, stakeholder, or a current student looking for inspiration for your own industry cooperative project.

WHAKATANGATA KIA KAHA: TOITŪ TE WHAKAPAPA, TOITŪ TE TUAKIRI, TOITŪ TE MANA – AN EXAMINATION OF THE CONTRIBUTION OF TE AUTE COLLEGE TO MĀORI ADVANCEMENT. A THESIS PRESENTED IN FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN EDUCATION AT MASSEY UNIVERSITY, PALMERSTON NORTH, NEW ZEALAND. JAMES PHILIP HECTOR GRAHAM 2009 i ABSTRACT The thesis examines the contribution of Te Aute College to Māori advancement by exploring the whakapapa of Te Aute College and the brand that has developed out of the school’s whakapapa from its beginnings in 1854 prior to major European settlement in the Hawkes Bay through to the 21st century. In doing so, the notion of whakapapa is used to reveal the layers of tradition, history, connections, narratives, achievements and setbacks that have enabled the realisation of Māori potential and the ability of Te Aute College to sustain a contribution to the advancement of Māori. This thesis contends that the contribution of Te Aute College to Māori advancement stems from its whakapapa and its brand that is unequivocally Te Aute in focus and character. An Indigenous Māori research paradigm, a whakapapa research methodology, provides the context for researching Te Aute College, the basis of this thesis. The thesis also explores whakapapa as a tool that can be used as a legitimate research framework when engaging in Māori research.

    He Wahine, He Whenua I Ngaro Ai? Maori Women, Maori Marriage Customs and the Native Land Court, 1865-1909 Inano Walter A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Arts University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand 2017 Created 16/10/2017 ii Abstract The aim of this study is to investigate and identify the effects the Native Land Court and native land legislation had on customary Māori marriage practices from 1865 to 1909. While researchers have produced a variety of important understandings of the court’s role in promoting land loss in Māori society, Māori women’s involvement in the court and its effects upon them is just beginning to be examined. This thesis makes a contribution to Māori women’s history by accounting for the role the Native Land Court and associated land legislation played in reshaping customary Māori marriage practices in nineteenth and early twentieth century New Zealand. Even though native land legislation was one of the key mechanisms by which the state governed Māori land as well as marriage, this connection is rarely examined within the same frame. The Native Land Court is a forum where land and marriage did interact. Focusing on a case study of Ngāti Kahungunu, I situate prominent Māori women in the Native Land Court, and use their experiences to further understandings of how Māori marriage, which is often examined in a pre-European context, was shaped by land title investigations and succession cases. This study was conducted utilising statutes, colonial newspapers and the Napier Minute Books. In the first chapter, this thesis uses ethnographic material to describe and interpret marriage customs prior to European contact, its draws upon missionary understandings of customary marriage upon arrival to Aotearoa, and also traces how colonial law managed marriage prior to the Native Land Court 1865.

  • European Style Schooling for Maori: the First Century
    ACCESS: CONTEMPORARY ISSUES IN EDUCATION 1992, VOL. 11, NO. 2, 77–87 European style schooling for Maori: The first century Judith Simon ABSTRACT It is often assumed that the Education Act of 1877 signalled the beginning of State involvement in education in New Zealand. In fact, the State had begun a system of schooling for Maori children ten years before that, with the Native Schools Act in 1867. However, even this was not the beginning of State involvement in schooling in New Zealand. Twenty years earlier, in 1847, the Governor had begun giving subsidies to the schools run by the missionaries for Maori children. An important question we need to ask is: Why did the government make provisions for the schooling of Maori during this period? Many who know something about the early Maori schools might respond to this question by saying that schooling was provided for Maori in order to assimilate them to European culture. This is quite true but by itself is an inadequate explanation. It simply leads to another question: Why did the government want to assimilate Maori to European culture? To answer this we need to consider what the notion of assimilation involves and examine some of the implications it has as a social policy. Introduction It is often assumed that the Education Act of 1877 signalled the beginning of State involvement in education in New Zealand. In fact, the State had begun a system of schooling for Maori children ten years before that, with the Native Schools Act in 1867.

  • Chapter 1 Reclaiming Māori Education Ranginui Walker
    Chapter 1 Reclaiming Māori education Ranginui Walker Introduction At the height of its power in the 19th century, the British Empire encompassed 11.5 million square miles and ruled over a quarter of the world’s population (Waitangi Tribunal, 2012). The Empire’s expansion at the expense of indigenous people in the New World was driven by trade, capitalism and consumerism. When Great Britain annexed New Zealand under the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840, it had considerable experience in the techniques of domination, subjugation and domes- tication of indigenous populations in North America, Canada and Australia. Like its Greek and Roman predecessors, the British Empire por- trayed itself as civilised and painted the people it encountered in the New World as savage, uncivilised and inferior. The British racial hierar- chy placed Europeans at the top and ‘natives’ at the bottom. Although the culture of New Zealand’s tangata whenua, with its hunting, fish- ing, gathering and gardening economy, was a sustainable design for living, it was almost destroyed by the colonial enterprise of converting the natives from barbarism to Christianity and civilisation. British col- onisers saw Māori tribalism and communal ownership of land as the mark of primitive and barbaric people. 19 Decolonisation in Aotearoa: Education, research and practice The techniques of the coloniser included: trade at the frontier; open- ing up new lands and resources for exploitation; cultural invasion by missionaries imposing their world view on the natives; treaty-making to gain a foothold on the land; taking advantage of tribalism to divide and rule; military invasion; political domination; confiscation and expropriation of land and resources by legal artifice; and state terrorism and intimidation of non-conformist pacifist populations.
