  • 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.

  • Proposal for Tūranganui-A-Kiwa / Poverty Bay [Alteration from Poverty Bay]
    Proposal for Tūranganui-a-Kiwa / Poverty Bay [alteration from Poverty Bay] Image provided by proposer Inset NZTopo250 mosaic Crown copyright reserved Summary Gisborne District Council (GDC) proposes altering the existing recorded name, Poverty Bay, for the bay south of Gisborne (town), to a dual name Tūranganui-a-Kiwa / Poverty Bay. In 1769 Lieutenant James Cook named the feature Poverty Bay because he was unable to resupply at the bay1. There are several kōrero for Tūranganui-a-Kiwa relating to Kiwa of the Horouta or Tākitimu waka. A commonly cited meaning is ‘the great [or long] standing place of Kiwa’. GDC’s reasons for the proposal include: - restoring an original Māori name, - a dual name being representative of the area’s bicultural heritage, - support for te reo Māori, - possible economic and tourism benefits, - some evidence of community support for a dual name, - a name change fostering positive cultural and social outcomes. GDC consulted with Tūranga iwi: Ngai Tāmanuhiri, Rongowhakaata, and Te Aitanga a Māhaki, who it identified as mana whenua. Letters of support are included, although they each support only the original Māori name, not a 1 J A Mackay (1949), Historic Poverty Bay and the East Coast, North Island, New Zealand, Gisborne, Chapter V – the Unhappy Naming of Povery Bay. – accessed 20 March 2018 NZGB meeting 12 April 2018 Page 1 of 11 Linzone ID: A3204829 dual name.

  • Māori Land Development Policy and the Law in the Age of Ngata (1920–1940)
    RE-THINKING INDIVIDUALISATION: MĀORI LAND DEVELOPMENT POLICY AND THE LAW IN THE AGE OF NGATA (1920–1940) RP Boast* Abstract This article focuses on Sir Āpirana Ngata as Minister of Native Affairs and his programme for Māori land development, which was underpinned by legislation enacted in 1929. The legislation is considered fully, as is the development programme itself. The thesis of the article is that the development programme was of pivotal significance, historically and legally, and that it needs to be understood in the wider context of law and policy relating to Māori land. The land development programme was a massive and risky investment in Māori land development, and was a reversal of policies which concentrated on the acquisition of Māori land by the state and its transfer to individual purchasers. It is suggested that Ngata’s success in bringing about this change was a remarkable achievement, but the land development policy was undercut by a failure to manage the programme effectively. This led to Ngata’s resignation. Following his resignation, the state’s administration of Māori land development changed direction, to the detriment of Ngata’s wider programme of economic and cultural revitalisation. Furthermore, the programme was flawed by a failure to develop coherent policy as to whether developed land was to be held by Māori farmers or by collective bodies. Also significant was the emergence of a social-democratic and economic nationalist Labour government after 1935, which was animated by a quite different vision from that of Ngata. I. Introduction This article is intended as an overview of the development of Māori land policy from 1909–1953 (that is, the period in between the two pivotal * QC OMNZ, Professor, Victoria University of Wellington.
