2004 AGM SECRETARY’S REPORT:

Here we are, another year gone and its conference time again. What a weekend. The trip down from Hamilton on Friday 4th June was wet and miserable but that cleared to lovely days on Satur-day and Sunday with the occasional showers. Nothing compared to the wake up on Monday and finding snow on the ranges – what a beautiful site!!!! For someone who only sees snow on the TV.

As for the conference, I think there were fewer people than last year in Auckland, but we had a few visitors showing interest at our table. Our table looked great with all the archives material on display and Harete kindly let us borrow some of her books for the weekend.

The MIG AGM went well and smoothly, the minutes follow:

EDITORIAL:

Kia Ora;

We have had a busy few months, culminat-ing in the MIG tenth Birthday Celebrations at the Family Research Centre, Panmure on the 6th November.

Harete welcomed Council members and visitors to the event. Interest in the Group’s activities was heartening with several new members joining the Society.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Brenda and Vivian for organizing such a successful event. If it was not for their dedication this milestone in our his-tory would not have been possible. The cake looked absolutely delicious, sincerest thanks to mum and dad (Ron and Patty MATHERS of Waihi) for generously donat-

ing the cake for the MIG tenth Birthday Celebrations as non NZSG members and Vivian for making all the necessary ar-rangements including overseeing its safe delivery to Panmure!

Richard STEDMAN kindly acted as our photographer, these photos will be on the MIG website soon and in the next Te Reo. We have one photo in this issue on pg 13.

I would also like to thank Simon KAY Edi-tor of the Manukau Courier, for his paper’s continuing support of our Group. The newspaper articles which appeared both before and since the gathering have gener-ated interest in our activities – so much so in fact that the Society is considering ex-panding on the intense interest generated in coming months.

During the Birthday Celebrations we took

great pleasure in awarding Certificates of Recognition to several of our members who were founding members of the Maori Interest Group and who have maintained their membership of the group over the past ten years. We extend our sincere thanks and appreciation for their loyalty and continuing support. Congratulations;

I have spent some time improving the look of the Maori Interest Group website which was re-launched on the 3rd October. Al-most without exception, the comments received have been extremely positive and we now have a presence on the internet which is fully functional – please remem-ber that only the look has changed, not the address itself; www.rcyachts.net/maori

We must thank Richard STEDMAN, editor of the New Zealand Genealogist. Richard has been very supportive of the group in recent months. I am sure you have all seen our “Whakapapa – Where to Start?” which appeared in September/October magazine. I must thank Brenda for her help in proofing and tweaking of the final article. Thank you Brenda.

With the success of our article and also the tenth birthday celebrations, there is obviously a resurgence in interest in Whakapapa research from both our mem-bership and also the public in general, which we as a group and the Society hope to expand on. Following on from this theme, I would like to gauge our member’s thoughts on an idea to include a compan-ion Maori translation with the existing name of the Society. I must stress that this proposal is not intended to replace the existing name of the Society whatso-ever, but rather to compliment each other such as the header of all Government Departments and other Institutions do today;

Maori is an official New Zealand language. While my own suggestion for a companion Maori name for the Society is below, I would also be interested in your thoughts;

Please send you thoughts to Brenda or myself (contact details appear on page 2). If we have sufficient support for the idea we will put the proposal to Council.

In this issue we end the list of Maori/Pakeha names so generously contributed by Christine CLEMENT of Te Puke. Chris-tine’s generosity in sharing all her hard work in gathering these names is sin-cerely appreciated and I hope all our members have been able to add to her list. Since we began this name index in the Mei Te Reo, Christine has since advised us that the list has expanded by a further fifty plus names, the additions can be accessed through her website at

2004 AGM ARCHIVISTS REPORT:

Everything is falling into place nicely. Our archives storage boxes are filling up. I have copied all relevant information from all our old magazines and

filed them. These include the lists of all our committee’s since inception in 1994, all the magazines since the beginning, all past and present members and their in-terests, web sites available, how to find things, etc.

Thank you Colleen, for the box of archives you gave me at the conference, everything in it was of use and is now filed away. In a future issue of the magazine I will have an updated Index & Contents sheet avail-able so that you can see just what type of information we have in our archives.

I still only have the few photos that were from 2002 onwards and would love to get more to do with our group or of Maori interest, so search through those old pho-tos and send copies or email them to me and I will add them to our photo album.

Have a great year! Vivian BIRCH MIG Archivist.

PASSED DOWN Archives & Records Association of New Zealand Annual

Conference on Maori Records and Ar-chives Rotorua 20th & 21st August 2004

This was a stimulating conference with an excellent selection of speakers covering a wide range of topics. Unfortunately Hin-

erangi Himiona (highlights of her time as Maori Manager of Archives New Zealand) and Bernard Makoare (Ngati Whatua, issues of cultural identity and heritage) were unable to present their papers as they were at a tangi.

Below I have listed some of the speakers and added brief notes on their presenta-tions.

David Colquhoun, Curator of Manuscripts and Archives at Alexander Turnbull Li-brary:


TE REO PAGE 9

Archives are the memories of a society. What was kept and what was not kept reflects the attitudes and priorities of soci-ety over time. The earliest surviving Maori document is a letter dated 1825. Maori embraced literacy and by the mid 19th century had a higher level of literacy than non-Maori. By the end of the century an interest was evident in the history of European settlement in NZ – Mantell, Hocken and Turnbull collections include Maori material reflecting the inter-action between Maori and non-Maori. Today there is a steady increase in the number of Maori researchers and Maori staff em-ployed in libraries and repositories. This fosters Maori faith in these institutions and encourages Maori to donate archives and records for safekeeping.

Professor Whatarangi Winiata, Re-searcher on the theory of Hapu and constitutional arrangements: Archives are accumulated memory that can be divided into three groups – pre waka, pre European and European. These memories define the Maori. How will archives define Maori in the year 3004? Archives are not an end in them-selves and access is not automatic. The seeker must prove an ability to under-stand, respect, interpret, store and pass on the knowledge in a responsible fash-ion. It is necessary to be able to prove to the Kaumatua that you are of the Hapu and Iwi of the relevant marae. Granting access is always a judgement call.

Taina McGregor, Oral Histories Alexan-der Turnbull Library: The Oral History Centre at ATL holds 10,000+ oral records of interviews and events. To access these you must go to the centre and listen to the recordings. Website is at NOHANZ. Taina facilitates workshops. The Centre will carry out individual commissions if contacted at ATL.

Hinureina Mangan, Director for Maori & Information Management Programmes

at Te Wananga-O-Raukawa, Otaki: Degree and diploma courses are strongly based on Tikanga Maori. Fluency in Te Reo is essential for all students.

Rachel Lilburn , Victoria University and Lois Robertson, Open Polytechnic: They spoke about the courses offered on Archives and Records Management.

Darrin Sykes, Director Waitangi Tribunal: Has only been in the job three weeks. All documentary evidence is stored in the office in Wellington. The public has right of access unless the person who supplied the evidence has requested confidentiality.

Glen Taitoko, Maori Subject Headings: Library cataloguing software, used world wide, was designed in the USA. It does not cater for Te Reo, eg if you enter a search for ‘waka’ you will not get a result. LIANZA, Te Ropu Whakahau and National Library are working on a Maori access tool and this should be ready for use by the end of 2005.

Nick Tupara, Maori Liaison Officer, Gisborne District Council: Archives and records are a lingering es-sence of those who have gone before. They are in the care of the living to pass to those yet unborn.

Haki Tahana, Maori Information Services Librarian, Whangarei: Described going out into the community to foster interest in the library. Meetings at Marae to engender support, sponsor-ship and archival donations. Conference Dinner: This was a hangi organised by Tamaki Tours which took place at an impressive reconstruction of how a pa may have been in pre-European times.

Note: NRAM was taken over by Archives New Zealand 1 July 2004.

In this issue we continue with the series of fascinating sort stories on the settle-ments of the Maori people in the Auckland area from the early 1800’s to the first quarter of last century as kindly submit-ted by MIG member Peter ALLEN from Hamilton – many thanks for your contin-ued support of Te Reo Peter BM

TE ONEWA & NORTHCOTE Pt.

Prior to 1841 Maori knew the Northcote Point area as Te Onewa. The point itself was Totaratahi, or one totara tree, while the small beach to the west was Onepoto. Okawau was the "home of the shag" at the

southern most tip of the point and Te Onewa was the name of a fortification ditch, or "divided earth", on the southern most part of the point. The pa protected local kainga in the vicinity, and inhabi-tants relied on local shellfish, roots and berries, kumara cultivation and nearby fishing grounds especially shark.

Te Kawerau's Maruroa returned to nearby Kauri Point around 1835, while Ngai Tai returned to Te Onewa around the same time. Simultaneously Ngati Whatua also re-asserted control of the Auckland isth-mus. Maruroa died in 1840 at Te Onewa and after the Mahurangi Purchase, Pakeha surveyed Te Onewa, or from 1841 Point Rough. The east and southerly parts of the point were divided into Lots 27 to 31. Lot 27 was sold in December 1843, but Lots 28 to 30 were not sold until July 1851. Lot 31, on the point itself, was pur-chased by the New Zealand Company in 1844, but was sold back to the Crown in 1847.

The Callan family lived in the area from at least 1843, in a whare, and may well have come to some arrangement with local Maori until Philip Callan senior bought Lot 30 in July 1851, and Lot 31 in 1856. It could be assumed that Maori moved out of the area following the Mahurangi Pur-chase from 1841. However, St Patrick's Catholic Church, which served the North Shore until a separate church was built in the early twentieth century, lists six Maori marriages for "Onewa" families from 1846 to 1849.

From 1850 to 1862, Maori Catholic mar-


ARANZ Archives and Records Week. 12 – 19 March 2005. Wellington: Michael Steemson, Wellington Committee, ARANZ, Programme Convenor. Michael spoke to us about this event at the conference and has since contacted us

by email stating “I was glad to be able to get in touch with NZSG and hope that you and the society will be able to do some-thing of value to your members during next year’s event. If you plan any event, please let me know so I can include it in the general news releases”.

riages with a North Shore connection in-stead cite the Awataha Mission as their place of residence. There are no Maori Catholic marriages with a North Shore connection from 1863 to 1880. This is not conclusive proof of continued Maori resi-dency at Point Rough, or from 1848 Stokes Point, but indicates at least a con-nection.

In 1908, celebrating its new Borough status, the Northcote Borough Council proclaimed Northcote Point a Domain. Stokes Point had been renamed Northcote from 1880. The visit of the American fleet at the time provided a further sense of occasion, and Maori showed their connec-tion with the site by participating in a presentation ceremony of the New Zealand Ensign to the Council on 8 August 1908, at the point itself. Local Maori had pur-

chased the 15 foot flag and contributed to the cost of the 75 foot high flag-pole. Pataka Hapi of Waikato led Maori in a haka, and has been photographed staring wistfully towards Kauri Point, the other important site for local Maori. A totara tree was planted, and a picket fence in-stalled. Later some Pakeha incorrectly claimed a Maori chief was buried there.PA3

MORE THAN 20,000 MAORI NAMES GO ONLINE

14 October 2004 More than 20,000 Maori names are now available in a major new online resource created by the Waikato University Library. “Journalists, researchers, academics and people with a general interest in Maori culture and te reo can now go online to access a huge range of names at the push of a button,” says the university’s New Zealand Collection librarian Kathryn PAR-SONS.

The online resource reproduces the infor-mation in Henry James FLETCHER'S In-dex of Maori Names at: http://www.waikato.ac.nz/library/resources/nzc/fletcher/.

FLETCHER of Taupo was a missionary and Presbyterian minister who lived from 1868-1933. Index of Māori Names was considered his greatest work. His original index is held in the Alexander Turnbull Library, with whose permission the origi-nal index was digitised for putting online.

The index provides access to information about or references to Maori individuals, boundaries, canoes, trees, landmarks and

geographical locations. FLETCHER in-dexed these Maori names from nine books, including the Ancient History of the Maori, Old Whanganui and the first volume of the Lore of the Whare Wananga, as well as the first 19 volumes of the Journal of the Polynesian Society, the first 42 volumes of the Transactions of the New Zealand Institute, seven essays from the Transactions and nine Dominion Museum Bulletins. There are 21,889 entries in the index. A full list of the publications indexed is at:

http://www.waikato.ac.nz/library/resources/nzc/fletcher/

abbreviations.shtml

Putting the index online was a complex process. A microfilm of the original was scanned and converted into a computer file. Waikato University staff and students then did a massive editing job.

“This is a major achievement,” says Kath-ryn PARSONS, “and it makes this impor-tant resource available to the world. Many, many people have worked on the project and all are to be congratulated for their dedication and hard work.

“We realise there are likely to still be er-rors in the document and we would ap-preciate it if people let us know of any-t h i n g t h a t n e e d s f i x i n g . ”

http://www.waikato.ac.nz/news/index.shtml?article=432 INDEX OF MĀORI NAMES

Compiled by Henry James Fletcher

This index is from an unpublished manuscript compiled about 1925 by the mission-ary Rev. Henry James Fletcher (1868-1933). In its original form it was 987 pages long, a vast index of Māori names referred to in books and journals, including the names of boundaries, Māori individuals, canoes, trees, landmarks and geographical locations. It was Fletcher's greatest piece of work, and one that merited improved access.

The New Zealand Collection of the University of Waikato Library holds a microfilm copy of the index which has been scanned, converted into a Word file, proofread, ed-ited and converted into web pages.

TE WHANAU HARRIS

Christopher HARRIS was born in 1800 in Parramatta, New South Wales, the son of William and Charlotte HARRIS. He came to New Zealand as a young man, settled in the Hokianga, found employment as a sawyer and eventually bought many acres of land . Christopher was married three times and had a total of thirteen children only one of whom did not have children.

Nothing particularly unusual so far you may well think. Hold on. It has been estimated that at the ninth generation (children born within the last few years)

Christopher HARRIS’ descendants total approximately 10,000. Therefore, it is possible that there are many people today who could be descended from Christopher HARRIS without being aware of it.

The whanau has researched Christopher’s descendants, naming all his 84 grandchil-dren and approximately 700 great grand-children. The book Te Whanau Harris traces the whakapapa of each of Christo-pher’s Maori wives and those of the grandchildren as well as giving details of Maori Land Court proceedings. There are many photographs. As the writers state in the introduction it would be far too big a task to include all the descendants so they stopped at the fifth generation (early twentieth century). It is now the responsi-bility of today’s generations to complete the whakapapa for their own branches of the whanau.

Most Maori consider their whakapapa as taonga – treasures not to be shared lightly. They need to be confident that the persons asking for information will treat it with respect and have a genuine interest in the whanau. This is not a uniquely Maori attitude. Few non-Maori would be willing to give away their family history research to someone they do not know or have good reason to trust. For this rea-son Te Whanau Harris book is only avail-able to members of the HARRIS whanau. You need to prove your relationship. If you suspect you could be a descendant of

Christopher HARRIS but cannot prove it go to www.terawara.co.nz/frames.htm . There you will find contact details for Wendy Henwood, co author of Te Whanau Harris and she will be able to give you help and advice.

A final note. I have found Te Whanau Harris an enormous help in my research and have discovered several more links and connections between families of the Hokianga. However, I am not involved in selling the book nor do I make any profit from sales.

Kia kaha Brenda.


TE WHANAU HARRIS Cont... Tena koutou e nga tini whanaunga,

In 1979 “Te Whanau Harris” was written and later published to coincide with a whanau reunion and the unveiling of a stone at Motukaraka honouring the whanau in January, 1981. Five hundred copies of the book which included history, whakapapa and a detailed family tree of recent generations sold out within months of the reunion. Since that time numerous people have indicated that they would like to get a copy but a reprint was financially beyond us.

Recently the demand has increased and a limited edition photocopy run has been completed. Note this is not a reprint and any misprints or mistakes have not been rectified. One hundred copies have been produced in the following format:

• Soft colour card cover featuring original design • Acetate protectors • Spiral binding • Photocopy quality

COST $65 per book PLUS postage and packaging - New Zealand $6, Overseas, ac-tual cost. MONEY MUST BE PAID IN ADVANCE.

Please photocopy and complete the below form and send with your cheque to:

WHAKAPAPA SOFTWARE RESEARCH

----- Original Message ----- From: "Janette Hamilton-Pearce" To: Sent: Friday, October 01, 2004 9:49 AM Subject: Whakapapa Software Research

Kia ora koe,

My name is Janette HAMILTON-PEARCE and I am from Te Whanau A Apanui (Te Kaha) on my father's side and Ngati Ka-hungunu and Tuwharetoa (Wairoa and Taupo) on my mother's side.

I am interested in doing research where Whakapapa software can be developed from a Kaupapa Maori perspective. I am at Auckland University of Technology (AUT) in a research institute at the Tech-nology Park. I did my degree and honours in Information Systems at Massey Univer-sity and came to AUT in Feb this year to do my doctorate full-time.

Through a previous research project and my own interest, Whakapapa has been the prominent concept throughout for Maori. I would really like to theorise about Whakapapa in order to practice Whakapapa in the world around and through the rorohiko (computer).

I would really like to talk to someone or

some people in your organisation who would think this is a good idea, who are able to theorise in-depth about Whaka-papa, who have any ideas about what this software would look like from a Maori perspective, what are the impacts, are Maori using current western software genealogy packages, have Maori developed their own software package themselves already and what research has been done already so far?

Hope to hear from you soon. Mauriora ki a koe, Na Janette HAMILTON-PEARCE

David GOBB(I)E arrived in Gore from the United Kingdom in the 1800’s and then moved on to the Bay of Plenty eventually marrying Marie (possibly of Tuhoe).

David and Marie had two (2) daughters; Monica and Nina born in Opouriao Valley, Bay of Plenty (near Whakatane).

Monica died when she was young but Nina went on to marry Arapeta BROWN, the son of Te Hokianga Taipiri and Heneriata BROWN nee COLLIER. Arapeta and Nina BROWN nee GOBB(I)E had twelve (12) children.

I would like to locate decedents of the BROWN family to exchange information as my husband descends from Robert Har-rington GOBB(I)E who was the younger brother of David GOBB(I)E who married Marie as mentioned-above.
