 Preamble Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Preamble Kupu Whakataki (1) Kua whakatakotoria te Tiriti o Waitangi, tona tauira reo Maori tona tauira reo Pakeha hoki, i roto i te Wahanga 1 o te Ture Tiriti o Waitangi 1975.
I hainatia te Tiriti nei i te tau 1840: (2) Ma nga whiti (3) ki (53) o tenei Kupu Whakataki ka kitea he whakarapopototanga o nga korero o muri i te kereme o nehe o Ngati Awa kua whakatakotoria ki roto i te whakaaetanga whakataunga i whakamanahia i waenga i a Ngati Awa raua ko te Karauna: Te hitori o te Whakataunga (3) Mai i te wa o te raupatu i 1866, kua whakaturia nga tono paremata a Ngati Awa ki te Karauna mo ana mahi he, tae rawa ki te raupatu.
Kua hikina nga taumahatanga mo nga takahitanga i te Tiriti o Waitangi e tena, e tena whakatipuranga o Ngati Awa i roto i nga tau, tane mai, wahine mai.
Whai muri iho o nga petihana me nga kawenga korero o nga tau tomuri o te rau tau 1800, me era o te tekau tau 1920, tae rawa ki te tekau tau 1960, ko te nekehanga nui, ko te whakatunga e nga kaumatua o Ngati Awa penei i a Eruera Manuera, i a Hare Reneti, i a Aniheta Ratene me Matarena Reneti, i te Poari o Ngati Awa i te tau 1980 i Puawairua, te marae o Ngati I whakaturia te Poari e nga hapu o Ngati Awa Hikakino.
hei kawe whakamua i nga kaupapa mo te iwi, penei i te take raupatu (tae rawa ki te muru i nga whenua, te noho manene o nga hapu me te riro o te tino rangatiratanga), te whakatu pakari ano o te wharenui Mataatua, te whakahokinga mai o te pamu teihana o Ngati Awa me te maunga Putauaki ki nga ringaringa o te iwi.
I whakarapopotongia nga whainga matua nei e Aniheta Ratene i roto i tana korero mo te Moenga, te Paraikete me te Urunga—ko te Moenga, koia tera ko nga whenua o Ngati Awa i raupatuhia, ko te Paraikete, ko te pamu teihana tera o Ngati Awa, a, ko te Urunga, koia tera ko nga kereme a Ngati Awa mo Kawerau: I te tau 1988, whai muri o tetahi whakahounga o Te Ture mo Te Tiriti o Waitangi 1975 e tarea ai te rongohia o nga kereme mai i 1840, i whakatakotoria e Ngati Awa tana kereme ki mua i te aroaro o Te Ropu Whakamana i te Tiriti kia rangahaua ona whakamau e pa ana ki te Tiriti.
I te tau 1988, i runga i (4) 10 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Preamble tana kaupapa here ki te tuku i nga whakahaere ki nga poari whakahaere iwi, a, i runga ano hoki i te tono a Ngati Awa, i whakamanatia Te Ture mo Te Runanga o Ngati Awa 1988 ara, te ture whakatu i te Runanga.
Ko tetahi wahi o te ture nei i pa ki te wetewete i nga whakawhiu a­ture i mau ki runga i etahi o te iwi i uru ki nga nekenekehanga o te tau 1865: (5) No te tau 1990 i whakawhitia ai e te Karauna te pamu teihana o Ngati Awa ki Te Runanga o Ngati Awa.

I tua atu, i nga tau 1988 me 1990, tukuna ai e te Karauna etahi utunga e $200,000 hui katoa ki Te Runanga o Ngati Awa.
I te tau 1994, i whakawhitia ai e te Karauna ki a Ngati Awa, ko te wahi mahi a Telecom i Whakatane, ko tona wariu i whakaaetia ai kia $390,000.

Hei ta Ngati Awa titiro mai ra ano, he wahanga noa iho enei o nga utu mo nga kereme raupatu ki te Karauna: (6) No te ra 4 o te marama o Hurae o te tau 1994, katahi ano ka timata te take a Ngati Awa ki mua i te aroaro o Te Ropu Whakamana i te Tiriti, i te marae o Te Whare o Toroa i Whakatane.
I whakatakotoria e Ngati Awa tana kereme i roto i etahi hui i tu ki te marae o Kokohinau i Te Teko, ki te marae o Umutahi i Matata, me te kapinga o ana korero i Te Whare o Toroa i te ra 1 o Tihema o te tau 1995: (8) (7) No te marama o Mei o te tau 1995, i whakaputaina e Te Ropu Whakamana i te Tiriti tetahi whakaaturanga e ki ana, ahakoa kaore ano kia rongohia te Karauna, na te kaha me te pakari o te kereme a Ngati Awa, tera tonu pea ka nui te paremata me utu e te Karauna ki a ia mo nga takahitanga a te Karauna i Te Tiriti o Waitangi i roto i nga tau kua pahure.
I whakaputaina tuatahitia te korero nei i roto i te whakaaturanga a Te Ropu Whakamana i te Tiriti i te marama o Noema i te tau 1994: I whakatakotohia, i korerohia tetahi tikanga whakahaere i waenganui i nga hapu, Te Runanga me nga kai­whiriwhiri i te hui a­tau o te tau 1996, me nga hui o muri a Te Runanga i roto i taua tau.

Whai muri i tera, i tu ano nga hui me nga whitiwhitinga korero e whiwhi mana kokiri ai nga kai­whiriwhiri.
I whakaae te Runanga o te Kawanatanga ki te mana kokiri i te Oketopa 1996: I te ra 21 o te marama o Tihema o te tau 1998, whai muri o tetahi toru tau e korerohia ana te kaupapa, ka uru te Karauna raua ko Ngati Awa ki tetahi Whakaaetanga upoko.
Ko ta te (9) 11 Preamble Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 (11) Whakaaetanga upoko nei, he whakatakoto noa i nga take e matua whakaaetia ana me uru ki roto i te Tutohinga Whakatau, me ta raua whakaae tahi ki te whiriwhiri i runga i te ngakau pono ki te whakatutuki i nga ritenga o te Tutohinga Whakatau: (10) No te ra 8 o te marama o Oketopa o te tau 1999 i oti i Te Ropu Whakamana i te Tiriti tana purongo e kiia nei ko “Te Purongo mo te Raupatu a Ngati Awa”.
Ko nga whainga matua o te purongo i ki, i raro i Te Tiriti o Waitangi, i te he te mahi raupatu i nga whenua o Ngati Awa, e kore e taea te ki i tu tetahi whana e whai take ai te raupatu i nga whenua, me te mea ko te ahua nei, i tua atu ke te raupatu o nga whenua o Ngati Awa i te mana o Te Ture Whakatau Manene ki Niu Tireni, 1863: I tua atu, i kite ano Te Ropu Whakamana i te Tiriti, he takahitanga tenei o nga matapono o te Tiriti o Waitangi, mena kaore i whakahokia mai nga whenua i runga i te tikanga pai, marakerake; he whakawhiu ano i a Ngati Awa mo ana mahi whana tenei te wehe i a ia mai i nga whenua ki te taha uru o te raina raupatu; i hurihia te taitara o nga whenua ki te tangata takitahi, a, ko te putanga o tenei, ko te unuhanga o te mana o te iwi, ko te whakamama hoki i te huarahi hoko i te whenua.
I tua atu i whakatau Te Ropu Whakamana i te Tiriti, ko te huarahi e ea ai nga kereme a Ngati Awa, ma te huarahi ki Te Runanga o Ngati Awa.
Ahakoa te mea kaore i whakatakotohia e te Karauna etahi whakaaturanga ki mua i te aroaro o Te Ropu Whakamana i te Tiriti, me te mea ano ehara i te mea e whakaae ana ia ki te katoa o nga whainga o Te Ropu Whakamana i te Tiriti, e whakaae ana te Karauna i mahi he ia ki te raupatu i nga whenua o Ngati Awa, na reira he takahitanga tena o nga matapono o Te Tiriti o Waitangi: (13) (12) Kaore i tau he whakaritenga i waenganui i te Karauna me Ngati Awa i runga i nga tapaetanga o te tau 1998.
No te tau 2000 whakatakotoria ai e te Karauna tetahi tapaetanga hou: I te 8 o Hurae 2002 ka whakaretangia e te Karauna me te Runanga o Ngati Awa he whakaaetanga.
Ka tatu i te Karauna me Ngati Awa taua whakaaetanga o nga whakataunga i te 27 o Maehe 2003 e whakatatu ana i nga take katoa e tika ana kia whakatauria tuturutia te katoa o nga kereme o nehe o te iwi o Ngati Awa: 12 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Preamble Te Whakahokinga Mai o te Wharenui a Mataatua (14) I nga tau tomua o te tekau tau 1870, i tahuri te iwi o Ngati Awa ki te hanga i tetahi whare whakairo ki Whakatane, ko tona ingoa ko Mataatua.
I te timatanga o te tau 1875 i oti te hanga i te whare.

No te tau 1879, i tukuna e te Karauna te whare Mataatua ki tetahi whakaaturanga e kiia nei ko te Inter­colonial Exhibition i tu ki Poihakena, i Ahitereiria.

No te tau 1880 i nekehia te whare ki Poi­piripiri, ki Ranana, ki reira whakaaturia ai.

No te tau 1924 i whakahokia mai ai a Mataatua, e aha ai, e uru atu ai ia ki te Whakaaturanga mo te Moana­nui­a­Kiwa i tu ki Otepoti.
I whakaae te Karauna kia whakaaturia e Te Whare Taonga o Otepoti te whare whakairo mo ake tonu.

Mai ra ano, kua rapu te iwi kia whakahokia mai te whare ki Whakatane, me te ki a Ngati Awa, kaore i tukuna e ia te mana mo Mataatua ki tetahi atu.

No te marama o Akuhata o te tau 1996 i hainahia e Ngati Awa raua ko te Karauna tetahi Tutohinga Whakatau mo te whakahokinga mai o Mataatua ki a Ngati Awa.
I whai wahi ki roto i te whakaaetanga nei ko te $2 miriona hei utu i te whakahoki mai me te whakatu o te wharenui a Mataatua ki Whakatane: Te tahu korero (15) E whai take ana te kupu whakapaha a te Karauna ki a Ngati Awa i runga i te tahu korero ka whai: Te Rohe o Ngati Awa (16) E whakapono ana a Ngati Awa, i mua o te tau 1866, koia te tangata whenua, a, nona te tino rangatiratanga e hora ana i etahi wa, ki runga i nga whenua ka whai nei: nga moutere o Motiti, o Rurima, o Mou­tohora, Te Paepae o Aotea, Whakaari, a Ohakana raua ko Uretara (he moutere enei kei te whanga o Ohiwa), nga wai mai i te wahapu o Waihi ki Ohiwa; te whenua, nga ngahere, nga roto, nga awa me nga repo, mai i te wahapu o Waihi ki te raki, a ka whai haere i te takutai tae rawa ki Ohiwa, mai i te wahapu o Waihi ano, ka huri whaka­te­hau­a­uru ki te awa o Pongakawa, ki te moutere o Rotoehu (tae rawa ki te papa o te roto o Rotoehu me te ngahere o Rotoehu), a, mai i Rotoehu ki Te Haehaenga, tae atu ki te roto o Rotoma ki nga whenua o Pokohu, o Tuararangaia me Matahina ki te tonga, a, atu i reira ki te Whanga o Ohiwa: 13 Preamble Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 (18) (17) Ko etahi o nga wahi nui i whakahuahuatia ai i roto i nga tahu korero mo Ngati Awa ko: nga maunga e korerohia nei ko Putauaki ki Kawerau, ko Whakapaukorero ki Matata me Maunga Whakamana ki Te Haehaenga, me te hiwi e kiia nei ko Te Tiringa ki Awakeri, tae rawa hoki ki Te Rae o Kohi ki Whakatane; nga awa o Whakatane, Orini, Rangitaiki, Tarawera,
 Wai­tahanui me nga wai o Waikowhewhe raua ko Pongakawa; te repo o Rangitaiki; nga ngahere i Rotoehu, i Matahina, i Kiwi­nui, i O­mata­roa, i Tarawera me Manawahe; nga roto o Rotoehu, Rotoma, Kawerau, Te Tahuna, Onerahi, Roto­iti Paku, Onepu me Roto­roa; nga waiariki i Kawerau, Awakeri, Mou­tohora me Whakaari; nga whanga i Ohiwa me Whakatane; nga wahapu i Waihi, i Te Awa a Te Atua i Matata, me Whakatane: I pupuritia nga whenua me nga rawa o Ngati Awa i raro i nga tikanga Maori, ara, ka noho hei mea tino nui rawa te kaitiakitanga ohu a­hapu, a­iwi.
I mua o te raupatu, i mau tonu nga rangatira o Ngati Awa ki to ratou rangatiratanga, a, iti noa iho nei nga whenua o roto i te rohe o Ngati Awa i hokona: I tua atu, ko te whakapae a Ngati Awa, i te tau 1865 e noho motuhake ana ratou, i te hua nga painga o nga mahi kaipakihi.

Ka mutu, i roto ratou i nga mahi whitiwhiti taonga, I te whakatipu, i te hoko ratou i nga tauhokohoko hoki.
rawa penei i te poaka, i te harakeke, i nga hua whenua, i te witi, i te papa rakau me te riwai, a, i roto ano hoki ratou i te whanuitanga o nga kaupapa tauhokohoko penei i te mira I te haere tonu nga mahi witi me te whakahaere kaipuke.
whitiwhiti taonga a Ngati Awa me etahi atu iwi mo nga taonga penei i te kokowai, te titi me te nuinga atu o nga rawa o te moana: (19) Te Ture Whakatau Manene ki Niu Tireni 1863 (20) No te tau 1863 i whakamanatia e te Karauna etahi hanganga ture whakahirahira e toru ara, te Ture Tami i te Mahi Whana, te Ture Putea Taurewa o Niu Tireni me te Ture Whakatau Manene ki Niu Tireni.
I aheitia e te ture whakamutunga te raupatu i nga whenua Maori e tirohia ana e te Karauna “na tetahi iwi, na tetahi wahanga o tetahi iwi, na tetahi rahinga mai i tetahi iwi ranei” i mahi hara ki te mana o te Kuini.
Ko te mea nui, i whakamanatia te ture “ki te tiaki, ki te whakamaru 14 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Preamble (21) tuturu i nga tangata pai o nga iwi e rua, kia arai atu i nga mahi whana, kia pupuri hoki ki te mana o Te Arikinui Te Kuini i roto i te Ture me te Mariretanga puta noa i te whenua”.

Hei whakatutuki i enei whainga whanui e rua, i mea te Karauna ki te whakatu tangata noho ki nga rohe ma te hoko i nga whenua raupatu ki te hunga whai.
Ko te titiro a te Karauna ma nga moni hua i enei hokonga whenua e ea ai nga utu a te Karauna mo ana pakanga ki te Maori: I te awangawanga te Tari Koroni o Piritana mo te whanui me te whakamahi i te Ture Whakatau Manene ki Niu Tireni 1863, e mea ana ia, “ka taea nga mahi tukino nui”.

I te timatanga, i te wa e whakaarohia ana te raupatu whenua, i whakatupatohia e te Hekeretari Koroni te Kawana Tianara, kia aro nui ki nga whenua o nga tangata me nga iwi harakore, a, kia hangai hoki te whiunga ki te hara.
No muri mai, i a ia ka noho ki te ata whakaaro mo te hanganga ture raupatu whenua, i te awangawanga tonu te Tari Koroni o Piritana mo te whakamahi i te Ture me tona roanga, engari i whakaaetia kia tu tonu na te mea ko te mana whakamutunga rawa mo te raupatu ko te Kawana.
I tohungia e te Hekeretari Koroni te Kawana kia kaua ia e whakaae kia raupatuhia he whenua mena kaore i te “tika, i te ngawari”: Te Kaokaoroa (22) E ai ki nga korero tuku iho a Ngati Awa, i te tau 1864, i uru atu etahi o nga hapu o Ngati Awa penei i a Te Patu­tatahi, a Ngati Hikakino me Ngati Te Rangihouhiri II, me etahi o Te Tawera ki tetahi ope taua o nga iwi o Mataatua me etahi atu iwi, a, e mohiotia nei ko Te Ope Taua o Te Tai Rawhiti.
E mea ana te ope nei ki te hou atu ki te rohe o Waikato ki te tautoko i nga iwi o Waikato e atete ana i te whakaeke pokanoa o ratou whenua e nga ope taua o te Karauna me nga tangata whai.

I araitia e Te Arawa te haere a te ope taua o Te Tai Rawhiti nei ma te rohe o Rotorua.

I tono etahi o nga iwi o Te Arawa ki te Karauna ki te tautoko i ta ratou mahi, tautokona noa mai e te Karauna.
I te marama o Pepuere o te tau 1864 i tu tetahi pakanga i waenganui i tetahi wahanga o te ope taua o Te Tai Rawhiti me etahi o te iwi o Te Arawa, ki Roto­iti; mate atu etahi ki reira.

Haunga tera, he wahanga o te ope nei i pakaru atu ki roto ki te rohe o Waikato, rokohina atu ko Orakau: 15 Preamble Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 (23) I Maketu, i te marama o Aperira o te tau 1864, ka ngana te ope taua o Te Tai Rawhiti ki te pakaru atu ma te wahapu o Waihi.
Na etahi o te iwi o Te Arawa, tapae atu ko nga waka taua me nga hoia a te Karauna te ope taua o Te Tai Rawhiti i whiu.

Ko te whawhai nui o Te Kaokaoroa te whawhai i parekura atu ai a Ngati Awa, me ki, ko ana karangatanga hapu a Ngati Hikakino me Ngai Te Rangihouhiri II, tae rawa atu ki etahi o nga hapu me nga iwi haumi.
I hinga atu ki te pakanga nei etahi o nga rangatira nui o Ngati Awa: James Te Mautaranui Fulloon (24) No te tomuritanga o te tau 1864, i tau atu a Kereopa, a Horomona me Patara, etahi poropiti o te whakapono Pai Marire, ki te rohe o Whakatane, a, na ratou etahi o te iwi o Ngati Awa i whakawai ki te uru ki te whakapono o Pai Marire.

I te marama o Maehe o te tau 1865 ka kohurutia a Rev.

Carl Volkner, he mihingare e noho ana ki Opotiki, e etahi o nga Maori o taua takiwa kua taka ki te whakapono Pai Marire.
No te ra 6 o te marama o Maehe o te tau 1865 ka whakaputaina e nga rangatira o Ngati Awa o ratou tino whakahe mo te patunga o Volkner; haunga tera, kaore ratou nga rangatira o Ngati Awa i whakaae kia haere te Karauna ma te rohe o Ngati Awa i a ia ka rapu mo te hunga na ratou a Volkner i patu.

Kore rawa i whakamanatia e te Kawanatanga te haere a tetahi o ona ope taua ma te rohe o Ngati Awa ki te rapu i te hunga na ratou a Volkner i patu.
(25) No te marama o Pepuere o te tau 1865, whai muri i etahi runanga, ka hui etahi rangatira o Ngati Awa ki Whakatane, i reira ka whakatakotoria ai e ratou tetahi aukati o to ratou rohe, kia kaua tetahi noa atu e uru mai.

Nawai a, i te marama o Hurae i te tau 1865, whai muri i etahi hui ki Tauaroa me Matata, ka whakatakotoria ai tetahi atu aukati ana e te poropiti Pai Marire e Horomona, me etahi o nga rangatira o Ngati Awa tautoko i a ia.
Mai i Whangaparaoa i te rawhiti tae atu ki Taranaki i te uru te aukati nei.

I te ra 19, te ra 20 ranei o Hurae 1865 i tau ai ki Whakatane a Maruiwi, tetahi kaipuke hokohoko no Te Arawa.

I hopukina te kaipuke, mo tona takahi i te aukati a nga Pai Marire.

No te ra 22 o te marama o Hurae o te tau 1865 i tau atu ai te kaipuke Kate ki Whakatane.
Ko nga tangata i runga i te kaipuke, ko James Fulloon, he apiha na te Karauna, 16 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Preamble me etahi atu.

I patua i runga i te kaipuke, a Fulloon, he uri no Ngati Awa, me etahi kaumoana tokotoru, e era o Ngati Awa i tautoko i te Pai Marire.

Katahi ka tahuri a Wepiha Apanui o te pori o Ngati Awa ki Whakatane ki te whakarite mo te tanu i tona uri, a Hemi (James) Fulloon.
He maha nga korero he aha i patua ai a Fulloon; e ai ki a Ngati Awa i patua ia mo tana takahi i te aukati.
Na enei nekenekehanga i korikori ake nga hapu o Ngati Awa: Te Whakamana (26) No te ra 2 o te marama o Akuhata o te tau 1865 i Maketu ka whakaputaina e T H Smith, te Komihana Kawanatanga tana whakamana hopu tangata mo te mau here i te hunga e whakapaetia ana na ratou a Fulloon me etahi atu i patu: (27) Ko nga tangata i te rarangi o te whakamana ko: Te Hura Te Taiwhakaripi Haki Waihou Te Pitoiwi Te Putarera Te Hemara Tukairangi Hakaraia Tohora Ture Te Matutaera Te Aka o Tau Te Hura Paraharaha Te Metera Te Tii Raniera Te Werotokotoko Hepeta Te Tai Haki Tukino Korimana Eria Te Hakona Horomona Poropiti Heahea Te Pakihiwi Utuku Te Rangi Hohepa Te Ra Te Meihana Te Tawa Te Wetini Tawhaki Raureti Tamati o Ngati Hoko Hunia Marupo Mohi Te Paohi Panapa Rangirewaia Turiri Hakopa Tupika 17 Preamble Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Hawera Te Hihira Petera Moki Te Hekara Pakiuru HohuaKaripipi: (28) No te marama o Akuhata o te tau 1865, i whakakotahihia tetahi ope taua a te Karauna e rima rau nei te tokomaha, he mea emi i etahi o nga hapu, iwi e noho tata ana ki a Ngati Awa ka mutu, kua roa ke hoki e pakanga ana ki a Ngati Awa mai ra ano; ko etahi o te ope nei i roto i nga riri o Te Kaokaoroa.
Ko te kaingarahu o te ope taua nei a te Karauna ko Meiha William Mair, Te Kaiwhakawa.

I kuhu atu te ope taua nei ki te rohe o Ngati Awa ki te whakatutuki i te whakamana mau here.

No te pokapu o te marama o Akuhata whakamaramahia ai ki te rangatira o Ngati Awa, a Te Hura Te Taiwhakaripi, he aha te kaupapa a te taua.

I tu etahi whakapapa i waenganui i te taua a te Karauna me Ngati Awa, ko te otinga atu i mate etahi tangata.
I murua nga kau, nga hoiho me etahi atu o nga rawa a Ngati Awa, i wawahia nga kainga, wharenui, pataka, waka hoki o Ngati Awa.

I whakaekea nga pa o Ngati Awa i Whakatane, i Matata me Te Teko, te wahi i rere ai a Te Hura me ana tangata: (29) No te ra 2 o te marama o Hepetema o te tau 1865 i whakaputaina e te Karauna tetahi Panuitanga Rongomau e ki ana kua mutu te pakanga i timata ra i Oakura, takiwa o Taranaki i te tau e 1863.
Ko ta te Panuitanga Rongomau i whakamarama ai, e kore e whiua e te Karauna era i mau pu ki te Karauna i nga raruraru o mua, haunga era na ratou a Fulloon i patu, kaore ratou i kuhuna ki raro i te tikanga o te panuitanga nei.

Ko nga kupu o te panuitanga i ki penei, ki te kore e tae nga tangata na ratou a Fulloon i kohuru ki te aroaro o te Kawana, ka murua e te Karauna nga whenua o nga iwi na ratou i manaaki te hunga kohuru.
I tua atu, i tono te panui kia awhinatia e te Maori te mahi aukati i nga tutunga puehu, a, i takoto ano te hiahia ki te korerorero me nga Rangatira nui, me pehea e rongohia ai te reo o te Maori i roto i te Runanga Nui, e aha ai, e whai wahi ai e te Maori ki te hanga ture hei whai mana: (30) No te marama o Hepetema o te tau 1865 ka whakaputaina e te Kawana tetahi Panuitanga Ture Taua mo nga rohe 18 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Preamble o Whakatane me Opotiki, e taea ai te hopu i te hunga e whakapaetia ana na ratou a Fulloon i kohuru, e taea ai hoki te whakawa i a ratou ma te Whakawa Taua.
Ko te tikanga, ka mau te Ture Taua ki runga i nga rohe nei a, tae noa ki te wa hikina ai, ka mutu, ko ta te panuitanga e mea ana, ka ahei nga tangata a te Karauna te tu ano nei he ope taua.

No te ra e 5 o Hepetema o te tau 1865 panuitia ai enei panuitanga e rua ki te Kahiti o Niu Tireni.

Haunga tera, kaore i te marama nonahea mohio ai a Ngati Awa mo enei panuitanga: Te Kupenga (31) Kia tae ki te wahanga tomuri o te marama o Hepetema o te tau 1865, kua nui ake nga korikoringa a nga hoia o te Karauna.
Ko te otinga atu, e toru ra e whawhai ana i te pa o Te Kupenga, takiwa ki Te Teko.

Nawai ra, a, no te ra 20 o te marama o Oketopa o te tau 1865, ka mutu i Te Kupenga te whawhai o nga hapu o Ngati Awa i raro i te arahitanga o Te Hura Taiwhakaripi.

Ko etahi o nga hapu i roto i te whawhai nei ko Te Tawera, Warahoe, Ngai Te Rangihouhiri II, Te Patu­tatahi, Ngati Hikakino me etahi atu.
Ko atu i te 30 nga tane, tae noa ki te nuinga o era i te rarangi ingoa o te whakamana me etahi atu, i mauheretia, i kawea hoki ki Opotiki, kia whakawatia e te Koti Taua i te marama o Noema o te tau 1865, mo te I whakatau te patunga o Fulloon, mo etahi atu whakapae.
Koti Taua he tokomaha ratou i hara, a, ko te hunga nei i whiua kia whakamatea: Nga Whakawatanga (32) No te ra 23 o te marama o Tihema o te tau 1865 ka whakatakoto whakaaro a James Prendergast, te Roia Mama mo nga whakawatanga ma te koti taua, i nga mauhere i kawea ki Opotiki.

E ai ki a Prendergast “ehara i te mea tika i raro i te ture” te ture taua.
Nawai a, ka tono te Kawana kia kawea nga mau here o Ngati Awa ki Tamaki­makau­rau, ki reira whakawatia ano, ki mua tonu i te aroaro o te Koti Manua, mo te kohuru me etahi atu whakawhiu.
Kotahi te roia i tu mo te hunga e 35 o Ngati Awa: (33) E whai ake nei ko te rarangi ingoa o ratou o nga tangata i whakawhiua mo te tahae waka me te kohuru i a Fulloon me kaumoana Ned i runga i te waka Kate: Mikaere Kirimangu, Hekara, Himone­te­Auru, Paraharaha, Hoani Poururu, Hoani 19 Preamble Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Hupe, Utuku­te­Rangi, Te Aka o Tau­te­Hura, Hunia Marupo, Haki Waihou, Haki Tukino, Tamati o Ngati Hoko, Tio Wahu, Hawera­te­Hihira, Heahea te Pakihiwi, Raniera te Werotokotoko.
I unuhia nga whakapae i runga i te tokotoru o nga tangata nei mo te tahae waka, engari katoa ratou i whakaaetia e te koti he tangata hara mo te mahi kohuru.

Tekau atu ano nga tangata i kiia e te koti na ratou i awhi te hunga na ratou nga mahi kohuru.

Ko enei tangata ko Te Hura Te Tai, Te Pitoiwi Te Putarera, Hepeta Te Tai, Horomona Poropiti, Mohi te Paohi, Te Hemara, Hakaraia Tohora, Te Uwhi Te Haraki, Kereama Toitoi me Ture Te Matutaera.
I tua atu, tokoono nga tangata i whakawhiua mo te whiwhi rawa i tahaetia i te Kate.

Kia tae ki te ra 23 o te marama o Maehe o te tau 1866, ko te hunga katoa i tu ki mua o te aroaro o te Koti i whakataungia e te Koti i hara, i whiua kia whakamatea, kia mauhereheretia ranei.

No te ra 17 o Mei o te tau 1866 whakamatea ai a Mikaere Kirimangu raua ko Horomona Poropoti (o Taranaki) mo te kohuru i a Fulloon.
Tuangahuru ma tahi o ratou i whiua kia whakamatea i hurihia kia mauheretia mo ake tonu atu, a, ko te toenga o nga tangata nei i whakahaua e te Koti kia whakamatea, i takahurihia e te Koti kia mauheretia etahi o ratou mo nga tau e wha, piki atu ki te tekau ma wha tau.

Ko era i hara mo te whiwhi rawa i tahaetia, i whiua kia mauheretia mo nga tau e toru.

No nga tau 1867 me 1868 i wetekina te hara i runga i etahi o nga tangata nei, engari ko te nuinga i mauheretia a, eke noa te wa i whakaritea mo ratou.
Tokotoru ratou i mate i te wa e mauheretia ana ratou ara, ko Tamati o Ngati Hoko (ra 1 o Akuhata o te tau 1866), a Hepeta Te Tai (ra 26 o Noema o te tau 1866), a Paraharaha (ra 18 o Tihema o te tau 1866).

Kaore i karakiahia, i poroporoakihia ranei enei tangata i mate ki roto i te whare herehere.
Rite ana nga tono a nga whakatipuranga i roto i nga tau kia whakahokia nga koiwi o o ratou whanaunga ki a ratou; no te tau e 1988 tutuki ai a ratou tono: (34) Hei ta Ngati Awa, tokomaha tonu era i tukuna, kaore i hiahia hoki ki o ratou kainga i Whakatane me Matata na te whakama i runga i to ratou mauheretanga me te rironga atu o o ratou whenua.

I noho ratou i te taha i a Te Kooti, i Te Rohe Potae, i raro i te maru o Ngati Maniapoto.
Ko te nuinga i mate, i takoto 20 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Preamble ki waho ke o te rohe o Ngati Awa, engari na runga i te mahi a Te Kooti me ana tangata, no te tau 1885 hahua ai ratou, ka tanumia ki te Urupa o Ohuirere, takiwa ki Whakatane: Te Raupatu Whenua (35) Na runga i te mana o nga Tono a­Kaunihera i tukuna i te ra 17 o te marama o Hanuere me te ra 1 o te marama o Hepetema o te tau 1866, whai muri mai hoki o ta te Karauna i ki, i hara nga iwi o Te Moana o Toi, ahua e 448 000 eka te rahi o nga whenua i panuitia ai kia raupatuhia i raro i te Ture Whakatau Manene ki Niu Tireni, 1863.
Kaore te Ture i korero mo te utu, engari ko te whiu tonu ia tona whainga: (36) Ko te ripa tauarai o nga whenua i raupatutia, ko: “Nga whenua katoa pokaitia ai e te ripa tauarai, mai i te puwaha o te awa o Wai­tahanui, haere whaka­te­tonga mo tetahi 20 maero; katahi ka hangai te haere ki te tihi o (Mt Edgecombe) Putanaki, mai i reira ka rere whaka­te­rawhiti ki tetahi wahi 11 maero ki te taha tonga o te puwaha o te whanga o Ohiwa, a, totika ana te haere ki te rawhiti mo tetahi 25 maero; katahi ka ripa atu ki te puwaha o te awa o Araparapara, huri haere i te takutai a, kia tau atu ki te timatanga i Wai­tahanui.” I roto i te whenua pokaitia ai i raro i te maru o te tono, awhiwhi e 245 000 eka te rahi o nga whenua o Ngati Awa i raupatutia i te tau 1866.
He mahi pokanoa tenei mahi, no te mea nui rawa atu nga whenua i raupatutia, ki tera rahi o te whenua e ea ai nga kaupapa i raro i te Ture Whakatau Manene ki Niu Tireni: I pa ki nga hapu katoa o Ngati Awa te raupatunga o nga whenua, tae rawa ki te hunga kaore rawa i atete ki te Karauna.
Ko te otinga atu o tenei, me haere ra ano nga hapu o Ngati Awa ki mua i te aroaro o te Koti Utunga me etahi atu wahi, rapu ai kia whakahokia mai o ratou whenua: (37) (38) Nga Whakaritenga a Wilson me te Koti Utunga (39) No te marama o Pepuere o te tau 1866, i mua o te noho a te Koti Utunga, ka whakaingoatia e te Karauna tana kaikomihana hira, a John A Wilson ki te whakarite i te toha o nga whenua i raupatutia i Te Moana o Toi.
I uru atu a Wilson ki etahi korerorero me etahi o nga hapu mo te whakahokinga mai o etahi whenua.
I whiwhia etahi o nga iwi o Te Arawa me etahi atu ki etahi toha mo a ratou kawe a­riri a, ko nga toha nei, mai 21 Preamble Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 i nga rohenga whenua o te taha hau­a­uru o te awa o Tarawera, ka taea te ki ka taka i roto i nga toha nei, ko te nuinga o nga whenua e kiia ana e Ngati Awa ko ona rohe o te taha hau­a­uru (he whenua enei e keremehia ana e etahi atu iwi).

Kia taka ki te tau 1885, kua hokona ke e te Karauna te nuinga o te whenua nei.
Ko te whakaritenga a Wilson, kia whakahokia a­whenua rahui nei te e 77 000 eka ki nga tangata takitahi o Ngati Awa.

Koianei tenei tetahi wahanga o te 245 000 eka i murua tuatahitia i te tau 1866: I whakahaerehia nga mahi a Wilson i raro i nga wahanga o Te Ture Whakatau Manene ki Niu Tireni, 1863, tae rawa ki ana whakahounga.
E whai mana ai ana whakaritenga, i whakamanatia ai e te Karauna etahi atu hanganga ture penei i Te Ture Whenua Raupatu 1867, Te Ture Hoko Whenua i Richmond 1870, Te Ture Whakamana Toha Whenua i Whakatane 1878, Te Ture Kereme Whenua Maori me Te Ture Whakamana Taitara o te tau 1894: (40) (41) Na Te Ture Whakatau Manene ki Niu Tireni 1863, ka whakaturia ai Te Koti Utunga ki te aha, ki te utu i nga tangata i raupatuhia o ratou whenua, ahakoa te mea kaore ratou i te “hara”.
No te marama o Maehe o te tau 1867 i timata ai nga hui a te Koti i te rohe.

Ko nga Kaiwhakawa ko William Mair raua ko Thomas Smith, ko raua tonu etahi o nga kaiarahi i nga ope taua a te Karauna i mua tonu o te raupatu.
He maha nga wa, whakamanahia ai e te Koti nga whakaritenga a Wilson, ano nei he whakataunga i waho ake o te koti: (42) Ko era tangata o Ngati Awa kaore i te pirangi whakatau kereme me Wilson, i whakatakoto kereme ke me te Koti; waihoki, ko era te hunga kaore i ahei ki te haere a­tinana ki te Koti ki te whai i a ratou kereme, tae tonu ki era te hunga i mauheretia i te tau 1866, i taka ki waho o enei whakaritenga.
Hei etahi wa, na te tomuri o te tae o nga panui, me te tawhiti ki te haere ki nga nohanga a te Koti, tae rawa ki era nohanga i waho atu i te rohe o Ngati Awa, kaore te hunga whai panga e tae ake: (43) Ahakoa te mau i herea nga kai­tono Maori ki nga whakahaere o Te Koti Utunga kei whiua ki waho, no te tau 1866 puta ai te whakamana tomuri a te Paremata e mea ana, kei te tika katoa nga mahi a te Koti, ahakoa te mea tera kaore i tutuki etahi o nga whakaritenga a­ture: 22 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Preamble (44) No muri mai ka araitia e te hatepe utunga a Ngati Awa nga rohenga whenua ka taka ki roto i te raina raupatu me era whenua i te taha uru o te rohe o Ngati Awa ara, nga rohenga whenua o Matata 31, 39, me 63.
Hui katoa e 50 000 eka te rahi o te whenua nei, a, ka taka te nuinga o te rohe whaka­te­uru e keremehia ana e Ngati Awa ki roto.

Mo te take o Matata Lot 63, he nui nga korero i whakatakotoria e nga kaiwhakaatu o Ngati Awa ki mua i te aroaro o te Koti, a, i tautokongia aua korero e etahi o nga iwi o Te Arawa.

Ahakoa tenei, i whiwhia e te koti aua whenua ki iwi ke ki hapu ke, ki etahi i whawhai mo te Karauna.
Kaore he huarahi hoki atu ki te pira i nga whakatau a te koti: (45) Na te tikanga utunga katahi ka pouri rawa atu te iwi o Ngati Awa mo nga mahi raupatu whenua.

Kaore i te tino mohiotia ko wai te hunga e ahei ana ki te tono utunga i te Koti.

Hei etahi wa tekau tau e taria ana katahi ano ka whiwhi ratou ki te putea Kawanatanga mo te whenua i whakahokia.
I whiwhi etahi hapu ki nga whenua o hapu ke, ka mutu, ka mate nga hapu o Ngati Awa ki Whakatane ki te tiaki i nga tangata o hapu ke ki runga ki o ratou whenua, tae rawa ki era mai i te rohe o Matata i uru ki roto i nga pakanga o nga tau 1864 me 1865.

He nui tonu te whenua poupou, koraha i whakaritea e Wilson hei whakahoki.

Ina whakahokia nga whenua ma nga whakaritenga a Wilson, ma nga tikanga a te Koti Utunga ranei, ka whakahokia ke ki te tangata takitahi, apa te hapu, te iwi ranei.
Kaore i whai wahi ki nga toha nei nga tikanga tuturu mo te whenua, a, morearea te noho a te whenua, kei hokona: I nga tau whai muri mai, kaore i aronuitia nga panga a Ngati Awa ki nga rohenga whenua i te taha hau­a­uru o te raina raupatu, i roto i nga toha a Te Koti Whenua Maori.
Hei ta Ngati Awa, na runga i nga nekenekehanga o roto i nga tau mai i te 1865 ki te 1867, tae rawa ki nga whakataunga a Te Koti Utunga i taua wa, i raru ai a Ngati Awa i roto i nga kehi o muri mai a Te Koti Whenua Maori e pa ana ki nga rohenga whenua nei: (46) Nga Mahi o Nga Ture Whenua Maori, Nga Hoko me etahi atu Wehewehenga o muri iho (47) Whakaturia ai te Koti Whenua Maori i raro i nga Ture Whenua Maori o nga tau 1862 me 1865, ki te rapu ko wai te hunga no 23 Preamble Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 (48) ratou nga whenua “e ai ki te Tikanga Maori”, ki te takahuri hoki i te mana tuturu mo te whenua, kia noho ko nga taitara a te Karauna ki runga i te whenua.
I whakatahangia hoki te tika a te Karauna ki te hoko tuatahi i nga whenua o te Maori, e aha ai, e taea ai e te Maori te rihi, te hoko ranei i ona whenua, kaore he nui o nga here.

Kaore i nui nga whakawhitiwhiti korero i waenganui i te Karauna me te Maori i mua o te whakamanatanga o te ture nei, kaore hoki ia i ata korero ki a Ngati Awa; he pera te ahua o enei mea i te tekau tau 1860.

I tenei wa, kaore he waha korero mo te Maori i roto i te Paremata.
Na reira ko to Ngati Awa whakaaro, he mea uhi ke e tetahi atu tenei tikanga tiaki whenua ki runga i a ratou: I te tekau tau o 1870, i whakahaua nga apiha hoko whenua ki te hoko whenua i te rohe o Rangitaiki, a, hei etahi wa, ka whakarite rihi, ka whakawhiti whenua ratou i mua o te haria o te whenua ki mua i te aroaro o Te Koti Whenua Maori kia ata rangahauatia te taitara.

I nga tekau tau 1870, 1880 me 1890, whakatakotohia ai e Ngati Awa ana kereme ki etahi whenua i te taha tonga o te raina raupatu.
Kaore i tautokona e te Koti a ratou tono mo nga rohenga whenua i Ruatoki me Kaingaroa.

I roto i tenei wa, whakawhiwhia ai etahi hapu o Ngati Awa ki etahi panga whenua i nga rohenga whenua o Pokohu, Putauaki, I te nuinga o te wa, Matahina, Waiohau me Tuararangaia.

i tukuna e te Koti etahi wahanga o nga rohenga whenua nei ki iwi ke, ahakoa te mea hei ta Ngati Awa, no ratou ake te whenua.

No muri ke, ma te hanganga ture, ka whakahaua e te Koti kia whakarongohia ano nga korero mo etahi o nga rohenga whenua.
Ko te otinga atu o tenei, i riro atu etahi o nga whenua i tukuna tuatahitia ki a Ngati Awa i Pokohu me Matahina: (49) No muri o tetahi rangahau taitara i te tau 1881, whakawhiwhia a Ngati Awa ki te e 79 000 eka i roto i te rohenga o Matahina.

No te tau 1884 rongohia ano nga korero, a, ko te hua o tera, i whakaitia te korahi o te rohenga ki te e 74 300 eka.

E 8 500 eka o tenei rahi i tangohia e te Karauna e ea ai nga utu ruri.
I whakawhiwhia e Te Koti Whenua Maori nga panga ki nga tangata takitahi, a, ahakoa i pupuritia nga whenua mo tetahi wa i runga i nga okeoke a Ngati Awa kia pupuria, kia tae ki te rau tau e 20, kua maro ke te haere o te wehewehe whenua 24 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Preamble ki nga tangata takitahi.

Ko te hua o tenei, i noho kongakonga noa nga whenua, i maha nga hokohoko whenua i te wahanga tomuri o te rau tau e 19 me te wahanga tomua o te rau tau e 20.
Kia taka ki te tau 1980, e 240 eka anake te rahi o te panga whenua o Ngati Awa ki roto i Matahina A1D1.

He mate nui ki te iwi o Ngati Awa tenei te rironga atu o te rohenga nei, a, kei roto i te waiata Tangi mo Matahina e whakaata ana te mamae: (50) Ko Putauaki te tipuna maunga o nga tangata katoa o Ngati Awa.

I tauwehea a Putauaki e te raina raupatu, nawai a no te tau 1867, ka tukuna ai te taha whaka­te­raki o te maunga e Te Koti Utunga ki a Te Pahipoto raua ko Nga Maihi.
Ko te wahanga whaka­te­tonga o te maunga i roto ke i te rohenga whenua e kiia nei ko Putauaki.

I te tau 1879 i tu tetahi whakaritenga – me ana tikanga ­ i waenganui i nga apiha hoko a te Karauna me etahi o Ngati Awa kia hokona te rohenga whenua, engari no te tau 1881 katahi ano te rohenga whenua nei ka rangahaua e Te Koti Whenua Maori.

I tukuna e te Koti te whenua ki a Ngati Awa, a ka tono te iwi kia rahui motuhaketia te whenua.
Waihoki, i te hipanga o nga ra e tekau, i runga hoki i te tono a etahi rangatira tokorua o Ngati Awa, ara, a Rangitukehu raua ko Penetito, i wehea e te Koti te rohenga whenua ki nga wahanga e toru.

Ko te rohenga whenua nui rawa atu, i tukuna ki etahi tangata takitahi e 15, a, hokona wawetia e ratou ki te Karauna.

Kaore e tino maha nga ra whai muri, e 27 nga tane, wahine, tamariki hoki i petihana ki te Minita mo Nga Take Maori mo te mahi tauwehe i te rohenga whenua nei.
No muri ke ka tono te hunga na ratou te whenua i hoko ki te Karauna, kia whakahokia tenei me etahi atu rohenga whenua, a, ko te utu mo tenei, ko te moni i homaihia mo te hoko i te whenua i te tuatahi, engari kaore te Karauna i whakaae.

Ko te iti noa o te rohenga whenua i mahue mai, tae rawa ki te maunga, i tukuna ki etahi tangata takitahi mai i Ngati Awa me etahi atu iwi.

Na enei mahi whakatakitahi i te mana whenua, ka ngaro noa i te iwi enei whenua.
He whakamau nui ta Ngati Awa, mo te rironga atu o Putauaki ma nga tikanga rereke i nga rau tau tekau ma iwa, ma tekau hoki: I tua atu, kua riro etahi whenua o Ngati Awa penei i nga rohenga whenua i Rangitaiki, Poroporo­Rewatu, Matahina, (51) 25 Preamble Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Whakatane, me Matata ma nga hanganga ture mahi tumatanui o te rau tau rua tekau.
He wahi tapu, he urupa, he papakainga i runga i etahi o nga whenua i riro: (52) Mai i te tau 1867, kua rapu a Ngati Awa i te tika, mo nga he i mahia ki te iwi e te Karauna.

He maha nga petihana a Ngati Awa ki te Karauna mo nga raupatu, nga mauheretanga, me te rironga atu o nga whenua i roto i te wa roa.

I tae te kaupapa a Ngati Awa ki mua i te aroaro o te Komihana Sim i te tau 1927, a, kaore i tautokongia e te Komihana te kaupapa whanui a Ngati Awa.
Haunga tera, i kite te Komihana, paku noa iho te whenua i tohaina ki a Ngai Te Rangihouhiri II raua ko Ngati Hikakino.

No muri mai ka tangohia ai tetahi wahanga o te whenua nei i raro i Te Ture Mahi Tumatanui, a, i te mutunga, i toe mai ki nga hapu nei ko etahi whenua titohea anake, e kore e puta he oranga.
I tutohu te Komihana ki te toha i etahi whenua i Matata, engari kaore tenei tutohu i puawai: I runga i nga tutohinga o te Komihana Sim, whiwhi ai etahi atu iwi ki etahi utunga a­tau mai i te Karauna, a, whakaturia ai etahi Poari mo etahi iwi raupatu, hunga ano a Ngati Awa: (53) Background (1) (2) The Treaty of Waitangi (Te Tiriti o Waitangi), as set out in English and in Maori in Schedule 1 of the Treaty of Waitangi Act 1975, was signed in 1840: Recitals (3) to (53) of this Preamble present, in summary form, the background to the Ngati Awa historical claims that is set out in the deed of settlement entered into by Ngati Awa and the Crown: Background to settlement (3) Since the time of the raupatu in 1866, Ngati Awa has sought redress for its grievances against the Crown including the conﬁscation of land from Ngati Awa.
The responsibility for seeking redress for breaches of the Treaty of Waitangi (Te Tiriti o Waitangi) has passed through many generations of Ngati Awa men and women.
Following the petitions and representations of the late 19th century, the 1920s, and up to the 1960s, the next signiﬁcant effort occurred in 1980 with the establishment of the Ngati Awa Trust Board at the Ngati Hikakino marae, Puawairua by the hapu and kaumatua of Ngati Awa including Eruera Manuera, Hare Reneti, Aniheta 26 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Preamble The hapu of Ngati Awa Ratene, and Matarena Reneti.
established the Trust Board to progress various issues on behalf of the iwi and in particular, to seek redress for the raupatu (including the loss of land, dislocation of hapu, and loss of rangatiratanga), the restoration of Mataatua wharenui, the return of the Ngati Awa station, and the return of Putauaki.
These principal goals of the Trust Board were encapsulated by Aniheta Ratene in the phrase the bed, the blanket and the pillow—the bed symbolized the lands conﬁscated from Ngati Awa, the blanket represented the Ngati Awa station and the pillow embodied the Ngati Awa claims to Kawerau: In 1988, following an amendment to the Treaty of Waitangi Act 1975 to allow hearing of claims back to 1840, Ngati Awa lodged its claim with the Waitangi Tribunal to investigate its Treaty grievances.
In 1988 the Crown, in accordance with its policy of devolution to iwi authorities and at the request of Ngati Awa, enacted Te Runanga o Ngati Awa Act 1988 establishing the Runanga.

This included a statutory pardon for those members of Ngati Awa involved in the events of 1865: In 1990 the Crown transferred the Ngati Awa station to Te Runanga o Ngati Awa.

The Crown also made payments totalling $200,000 to Te Runanga o Ngati Awa in 1988 and 1990.
In 1994, the Crown transferred the Whakatane Telecom site at an agreed value of $390,000 to Ngati Awa.

Ngati Awa has always regarded these returns as part settlement of its raupatu claims against the Crown: (4) (5) (7) (6) On 4 July 1994, Ngati Awa ﬁnally began its Waitangi Tribunal case at Te Whare o Toroa Marae in Whakatane.
Ngati Awa presented its claims at hearings at Kokohinau Marae in Te Teko and Umutahi Marae in Matata, completing the process at Te Whare o Toroa on 1 December 1995: In May 1995, the Waitangi Tribunal issued a memorandum observing that, although the Crown had yet to be heard, Ngati Awa had demonstrated signiﬁcant and compelling claims that were likely to require substantial compensation from the Crown to remedy past breaches of the Treaty of Waitangi (Te Tiriti o Waitangi).
This point was previously made by the Waitangi Tribunal in its memorandum in November 1994: 27 Preamble Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 (8) A mandate protocol between the hapu, the Runanga, and the negotiators was prepared and discussed at an annual general meeting in 1996 and at subsequent hui of the Runanga during that year.

This was followed by further hui and consultations to conﬁrm the mandate of the negotiators.
Cabinet recognised the mandate in October 1996: (9) On 21 December 1998, following 3 years of discussions and negotiations the Crown and Te Runanga o Ngati Awa entered into a heads of agreement.
This recorded on a without prejudice basis the matters which they had agreed in principle should be contained in a deed of settlement to effect a settlement of Ngati Awa’ s historical claims, and their agreement to negotiate in good faith to settle the terms of the deed of settlement: (10) On 8 October 1999, the Waitangi Tribunal completed its The report entitled “The Ngati Awa Raupatu Report”.
principal ﬁndings of the Tribunal were that the conﬁscation of the lands of Ngati Awa was contrary to the Treaty of Waitangi (Te Tiriti o Waitangi), that there was no rebellion to justify conﬁscation, and that conﬁscation as effected against Ngati Awa appears to have been beyond the authority of the New Zealand Settlements Act 1863: (11) The Tribunal also found that it was contrary to the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi (Te Tiriti o Waitangi) that the return of lands and reserves was not effected by a fair and open process; that Ngati Awa’s exclusion from the lands to the west of the conﬁscation line was an additional retribution for their perceived rebellion; that tribal land was converted to individual shareholding and tribal authority was therefore removed and the land was exposed to alienation.
The Tribunal also concluded that the claims of Ngati Awa should be settled by the Crown through Te Runanga o Ngati Awa.
While the Crown did not present evidence to the Tribunal and does not necessarily agree with all the ﬁndings made by the Waitangi Tribunal, the Crown had acknowledged that the conﬁscation against Ngati Awa constituted an injustice and was therefore in breach of the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi (Te Tiriti o Waitangi): 28 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Preamble (12) In the meantime, the Crown and Ngati Awa were unable to reach agreement on the basis of the 1998 offer.
The Crown made a revised settlement offer in 2000: (13) The Crown and Te Runanga o Ngati Awa initialled a deed on 8 July 2002.

Ngati Awa ratiﬁed the Crown’s settlement offer and entered into a deed of settlement on 27 March 2003 recording matters to give effect to a full and ﬁnal settlement of all Ngati Awa’s historical claims: Return of Mataatua wharenui (14) In the early 1870s the people of Ngati Awa undertook the construction at Whakatane of a carved meetinghouse, Mataatua.
Construction of Mataatua was completed at the beginning of 1875.

In 1879 Mataatua was sent by the Crown for exhibition at the Inter­colonial Exhibition in Sydney, Australia.

In 1880 the house was sent to Melbourne, then to London to be exhibited.

Mataatua returned to New Zealand in 1924 for the South Seas Exhibition in Dunedin.

The Crown agreed to allow the University Museum in Otago to exhibit the meeting­house on permanent loan.
Ngati Awa has always maintained that it did not transfer title to Mataatua and sought the return of the meeting­house to Whakatane.

In August 1996 Ngati Awa and the Crown signed a deed of settlement to return Mataatua to Ngati Awa.
This agreement included a Crown payment of $2 million for the costs of transporting and establishing Mataatua Wharenui at Whakatane: Historical account (15) The apology from the Crown to Ngati Awa is based on the following historical account: Rohe of Ngati Awa (16) Ngati Awa claim that prior to 1866 they exercised tino rangatiratanga as tangata whenua from time to time over their rohe including: the islands of Motiti, the Rurima group, Moutohora (Whale Island), Paepae o Aotea (Volkner Rocks), Whakari (White Island), Ohakana, and Uretara (both the latter 2 islands being situated in Ohiwa Harbour); the seas from Waihi Estuary near Maketu to Ohiwa Harbour; the land, forests, lakes, rivers, and swamps bounded to the north by the coastline from Waihi Estuary to Ohiwa, to the west from the Waihi Estuary along the Pongakawa River to Lake Rotoehu 29 Preamble Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 (including the lake itself and the Rotoehu Forest), from Lake Rotoehu to Te Haehaenga, and including Lake Rotoma to the Pokohu, Tuararangaia, and Matahina lands to the south and from there to Ohiwa Harbour: (17) Places of historical and cultural signiﬁcance to Ngati Awa include: the mountains called Putauaki at Kawerau (Mt Edgecumbe), Whakapaukorero at Matata and Maunga the hill called Te Tiringa Whakamana at Te Haehaenga, at Awakeri, and Koohi Point at Whakatane; the rivers Whakatane, Orini, Rangitaiki, Tarawera, Waitahanui, and the Waikowhewhe and Pongakawa Streams; the Rangitaiki the forests
 at Rotoehu, Matahina, swamp and wetlands; Kiwinui, Omataroa, Tarawera, and Manawahe; the lakes Rotoehu, Rotoma, Kawerau, Te Tahuna, Roto­Onerahi, Rotoiti Paku, Onepu, and Rotoroa; the thermal areas at Kawerau, Awakeri, Moutohora, and Whakari; the harbours at Ohiwa and Whakatane; and the estuaries at Waihi, Te Awa a Te Atua at Matata, and Whakatane: (18) Ngati Awa land and resources were held in customary tenure where tribal and hapu collective custodianship remained paramount.
In the exercise of their rangatiratanga the chiefs of Ngati Awa ensured that very little land within the Ngati Awa rohe was permanently alienated prior to the conﬁscation: (19) Further, Ngati Awa claim that in 1865 they were essentially autonomous, economically prosperous, and actively engaged in trade and commerce.

They produced and sold commodities such as pigs, ﬂax, vegetables, wheat, timber, and potatoes and were involved in a range of commercial activities including ﬂour milling and merchant shipping.
Ngati Awa also used commodities such as red ochre, mutton­birds, and the resources of the sea for customary trade with other iwi: New Zealand Settlements Act 1863 (20) the Crown enacted three important pieces of In 1863, the New the Suppression of Rebellion Act, legislation, Zealand Loan Act, and the New Zealand Settlements Act, the last of which provided for the conﬁscation of Maori land whenever the Governor in Council was satisﬁed that “any native tribe, or section of tribe or any considerable number thereof”, had been engaged in rebellion against the authority 30 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Preamble of the Queen.
More particularly, the Act was passed into law to provide “permanent protection and security of the well­disposed Inhabitants of both races for the prevention of future insurrection or rebellion and for the establishment and maintenance of Her Majesty’s authority in Law and Order throughout the Colony”.

In order to achieve those two broad ends, the Crown proposed introducing settlers into the regions by conﬁscating land and allotting or selling it to military and other settlers.
The returns from the sales of land to settlers were also intended to recoup the Crown’s costs of the wars against Maori: (21) The British Colonial Ofﬁce had misgivings about the scope and application of the New Zealand Settlements Act 1863, considering it “capable of great abuse”.

When initially considering the proposal to conﬁscate lands the Colonial Secretary cautioned the Governor to respect the lands of innocent people and tribes and to apportion the measure of punishment to the degree of guilt.
When it later considered the conﬁscation legislation, the British Colonial Ofﬁce continued to express serious reservations about the use of the Act and its duration but allowed it to remain in operation because ﬁnal authority for any conﬁscation remained with the Governor.
The Colonial Secretary instructed the Governor to withhold his consent to any conﬁscation which was not “just and moderate”: Te Kaokaoroa (22) In 1864, according to the traditions of Ngati Awa, certain hapu of Ngati Awa, including Te Patutatahi, Ngati Hikakino, Ngai Te Rangihouhiri II, and some members of Te Tawera and others joined a combined force of various Mataatua and related iwi which came to be known as the Tai Rawhiti force.
This force was destined for the Waikato region to lend assistance to the Waikato tribes who were resisting the unjust invasion of their lands by Crown and colonial forces.

It was prevented from travelling through the Rotorua region by a Te Arawa prohibition on armed parties moving through its territory.

A number of Te Arawa iwi had sought, and gained, Crown support in this undertaking.
A Tai Rawhiti party fought against various Te Arawa iwi in February 1864 31 Preamble Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 at Rotoiti which resulted in loss of life.

However, part of this group did proceed to Orakau, in the Waikato region: (23) The Tai Rawhiti force made a second attempt to break through at the Waihi estuary, Maketu, in April 1864.

Certain Te Arawa iwi, supported by Crown warships and military personnel, repulsed the force.
The ﬁghting culminated in the battle of Te Kaokaoroa where Ngati Awa, particularly Ngati Hikakino and Ngai Te Rangihouhiri II, and allied hapu and iwi suffered numerous casualties.

Several key chiefs of Ngati Awa were among those lost: James Te Mautaranui Fulloon (24) In late 1864, Kereopa, Horomona, and Patara, prophets of Pai Marire, arrived in the Whakatane region and persuaded a number of Ngati Awa to join Pai Marire.
In March 1865, the Reverend Carl Volkner, a missionary living in Opotiki, was killed by local Maori some of whom were inﬂuenced by Pai Marire.

On 6 March 1865, Ngati Awa chiefs at Whakatane expressed strong disapproval of the killing, but also stated that the Crown should not come through their territory while apprehending those responsible for killing Volkner.
No military force was authorised by the Government to pursue Volkner’s killers through Ngati Awa territory: In February 1865, after a series of runanga, certain chiefs of Ngati Awa met at Whakatane and resolved to place an aukati (customary prohibitive measure) about their territory to prevent encroachment into their rohe.

Then in July 1865, following a series of hui at Tauaroa and Matata, the Pai Marire prophet Horomona and certain Ngati Awa chiefs who sup­ported him declared a second aukati.
This aukati ran from Cape Runaway in the east to Taranaki in the west.

On 19 or 20 July 1865, the Maruiwi, a Te Arawa trading vessel, arrived at Whakatane.

The vessel was seized for breaching the Pai Marire aukati and its crew was held at Whakatane.

On 22 July 1865, the Kate, carrying Crown ofﬁcial James Fulloon and others, arrived at Whakatane.

Fulloon, of Ngati Awa descent, and three of the crew were killed on board by Ngati Awa supporters of Pai Marire.
Wepiha Apanui of the Whakatane section of Ngati Awa then arranged for the burial of his ﬁrst cousin Hemi (James) Fulloon.

There are various explanations (25) 32 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Preamble for Fulloon’ s death; Ngati Awa attribute Fulloon’ s death to his breach of the aukati.
These events evoked various reactions among the hapu of Ngati Awa: The warrant (26) On 2 August 1865, T H Smith, as Civil Commissioner at Maketu, issued a warrant for the arrest of those persons alleged to have been responsible for killing Fulloon and others: (27) The people who were subject to the warrant were: Te Hura Te Taiwhakaripi Haki Waihou Te Pitoiwi Te Putarera Te Hemara Tukairangi Hakaraia Tohora Ture Te Matutaera Te Aka o Tau Te Hura Paraharaha Te Metera Te Tii Raniera Te Werotokotoko Hepeta Te Tai Haki Tukino Korimana Eria Te Hakona Horomona Poropiti Heahea Te Pakihiwi Utuku Te Rangi Hohepa Te Ra Te Meihana Te Tawa Te Wetini Tawhaki Raureti Tamati o Ngati Hoko Hunia Marupo Mohi Te Paohi Panapa Rangirewaia Turiri Hakopa Tupika Hawera Te Hihira Petera Moki Te Hekara Pakiuru Hohua Karipipi: (28) In August 1865, a Crown force of some 500 men was formed.
It was drawn primarily from certain neighbouring iwi and 33 Preamble Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 hapu, many of whom were the traditional foes of Ngati Awa and who had been involved in the battle at Te Kaokaoroa.

The Crown force, under the command of Major William Mair, Resident Magistrate, entered the rohe of Ngati Awa to execute the arrest warrant.

The purpose of this expedition was explained to Te Hura Te Taiwhakaripi, a Ngati Awa chief, in mid­August.
The Crown force was involved in skirmishes with Ngati Awa in which some people were killed.

Cattle, horses, and other Ngati Awa property were seized and kainga, wharenui, pataka, and waka were destroyed.

This force laid siege to Ngati Awa pa at Whakatane, Matata, and Te Teko to which Te Hura and his force had retreated: (297) On 2 September 1865, the Crown issued a Proclamation of Peace declaring that the war, which had begun at Oakura in Taranaki in 1863, was at an end.
The Proclamation of Peace stated that those who had been in arms against the Crown would not be prosecuted for past offences, but excluded those responsible for the killing of Fulloon.

The Proclamation stated that if those responsible for the killing of Fulloon were not given up to the Governor then the Crown would take parts of the lands of those tribes who concealed the murderers.
It also called for Maori assistance in stopping all future acts of violence and declared an intention to consult with the great Chiefs about the best means for Maori to be represented in the General Assembly so that they could help make the laws they were called on to obey: (30) On 4 September 1865, the Governor issued a proclamation of martial law in the areas of Whakatane and Opotiki to enable the capture of those accused of the murder of Fulloon and others through the use of military force and to enable them to be tried by court martial.
Martial law was to operate in the areas from that time until duly revoked and the proclamation implied that the Crown forces could act as a military force.

Both these proclamations appeared in the New Zealand Gazette on 5 September 1865.

It is unclear, however, when Ngati Awa became aware of these proclamations: Te Kupenga (31) There was an increase in Crown military activity at the end of September.
This culminated in 3 days of ﬁghting at Te 34 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Preamble Kupenga Pa, Te Teko.

Eventually, on 20 October 1865, those Ngati Awa hapu under the leadership of Te Hura Te Taiwhakaripi surrendered at Te Kupenga.

They included Te Tawera, Warahoe, Ngai Te Rangihouhiri II, Te Patutatahi, Ngati Hikakino, and others.
Over 30 men, including most of those Ngati Awa named in the warrant and some others, were placed under arrest and transported to Opotiki for trial by courts martial in November 1865 for the killing of Fulloon and other charges.

The courts martial found many of the accused guilty and sentenced them to death: Trials (32) On 1865 James Prendergast, 23 December the Attorney­General, provided an opinion on the trial by court martial of the prisoners taken at Opotiki.
Prendergast determined that martial law was “in no way recognised by the law”.

As a consequence the Governor then ordered that the Ngati Awa accused be transported to Auckland to be tried again, this time before the Supreme Court for murder and other charges.
The 35 Ngati Awa accused were all represented by a single legal counsel: (33) The following men were charged with piracy and the murders of Fulloon and seaman Ned on board the Kate: Mikaere Kirimangu, Te Hekara, Himone te Auru, Paraharaha, Hoani Poururu, Hoani Hupe, Utuku te Rangi, Te Aka o Tau te Hura, Hunia Marupo, Haki Waihou, Haki Tukino, Tamati o Ngati Hoko, Tio Wahu, Hawera te Hihira, Heahea te Pakihiwi, and Raniera te Werotokotoko.
Three of these men were found innocent on the piracy charge but all were found guilty of murder.

Ten other men were charged with being accessories before the fact to the murders.

They were Te Hura Te Tai, Te Pitoiwi Te Putarera, Hepeta Te Tai, Horomona Poropiti, Mohi Te Paohi, Te Hemara, Hakaraia Tohora, Te Uwhi Te Haraki, Kereama Toitoi, and Ture Te Matutaera.

Six men were also charged with receiving stolen goods from the Kate.
By 23 March 1866, all those tried before the Court were found guilty on at least 1 charge and were sentenced to execution or imprisonment.

Mikaere Kirimangu and Horomona Poropiti (Taranaki) were executed for the murder of Fulloon on 17 May 1866.

Eleven of the men sentenced to death had their 35 Preamble Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 sentences commuted to life imprisonment and the other death sentences were commuted to between 4 and 14 years’ penal servitude.
Those charged with receiving stolen goods were sentenced to 3 years’ hard labour.

In 1867 and 1868 pardons were issued to some of these men but most served out their terms.

Three men died while in prison, namely Tamati o Ngati Hoko (1 August 1866), Hepeta Te Tai (26 November 1866), and Paraharaha (18 December 1866).

Those who died in prison were interred without ceremony in the prison grounds.
After regular requests over the generations their remains were released for reinterment with their families in 1988: (34) Ngati Awa say that many of those who were eventually released were unable to return to their homes in Whakatane and Matata because of the shame they felt as a consequence of their imprisonment and the conﬁscation.

They lived in the King Country with Te Kooti Rikirangi under the protection of Ngati Maniapoto.
Most of them died and were buried outside of the rohe of Ngati Awa but were eventually exhumed and reinterred at Ohuirehe Urupa near Whakatane by Te Kooti Rikirangi and his followers in 1885: Conﬁscation (35) By Orders in Council on 17 January and 1 September 1866, approximately 448 000 acres of land was proclaimed to be conﬁscated under the New Zealand Settlements Act 1863 as a consequence of Bay of Plenty tribes being deemed by the Crown to have been in rebellion.
The Act did not mention punishment but was punitive in nature: (36) The boundaries of the conﬁscated area were: “All that land bounded by a line commencing at the mouth of the Waitahanui River, Bay of Plenty, and running due south for a distance of 20 miles; then to the summit of (Mt Edgecombe) Putanaki, thence by a straight line in an easterly direction to a point 11 miles due south from the entrance to the Ohiwa Harbour, thence by a line running due east for 25 miles; thence by a line to the mouth of the Aparapara River and thence following the coastline to the point of commencement at Waitahanui.” (37) Within the area covered by the proclamation Ngati Awa had approximately 245 000 acres of its land conﬁscated in 36 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Preamble 1866.
This was indiscriminate in that the lands taken greatly exceeded the minimum necessary for achieving the purposes of the New Zealand Settlements Act: (38) The conﬁscation of land affected all Ngati Awa hapu, including many hapu who had never been engaged in any conﬂict with the Crown.
The result was that all of the hapu of Ngati Awa then had to go through the Compensation Court and other processes to seek the return of their land: Wilson’s arrangements and the Compensation Court (39) In February 1866, prior to the sitting of the Compensation Court, the Crown appointed a special commissioner, John A Wilson, to deal with the allocation of conﬁscated lands in the Bay of Plenty.

Wilson was involved in making arrangements with various hapu for the return of land.
Military awards for services rendered were made to certain Te Arawa iwi and other tribes from the 87 000 acre blocks west of the Tarawera River, which included the bulk of the area Ngati Awa claim as their western rohe (other iwi also claim an interest in this area).

By 1885 the Crown had purchased most of this land.

Wilson’s arrangements provided for the return of approximately 77 000 acres awarded to Ngati Awa individuals in the form of reserves.
This land was part of the 245 000 acres originally conﬁscated from the iwi in 1866: (40) Wilson’s activities were carried out under the provisions of the New Zealand Settlements Act 1863 and its amendments.
In order to validate his arrangements, the Crown then enacted legislation including the Conﬁscated Lands Act further 1867, the Richmond Land Sales Act 1870, the Whakatane Grants Validation Act 1878, and the Native Land Claims and Boundaries Adjustments and Titles Empowering Act 1894: (41) The Compensation Court was established by the New Zealand Settlements Act 1863 to compensate anyone who had suffered land conﬁscation when they had not been in “rebellion”.
The Court began its hearings in the region in March 1867.

The presiding judges were William Mair and Thomas Smith, both of whom played important roles in either leading or directing the Crown’s expeditionary force prior to conﬁscation.
In many cases, the Court validated Wilson’s arrangements as out of court settlements: 37 Preamble Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 (42) Those Ngati Awa not wishing to settle with Wilson ﬁled claims with the Court but those who could not attend the Court to pursue their claims, especially those who had been imprisoned in 1866, were inevitably excluded.
In several cases non­attendance at court hearings was due to inadequate notice, the inability of claimants to attend and hearings being held outside of the rohe of Ngati Awa: (43) Although Maori claimants were required to comply with Compensation Court processes or be excluded, in 1866 Parliament retrospectively declared the Court’s own actions and proceedings to be valid and beyond judicial scrutiny, even if statutory requirements had not been met: (44) Ngati Awa were subsequently excluded by the compensation process from those blocks falling within the conﬁscation line and the western part of the Ngati Awa rohe, namely Matata Lots 31, 39, and 63.
These lands comprised an area in excess of 50 000 acres and made up the bulk of the western rohe claimed by Ngati Awa.

In the case of Matata Lot 63 Ngati Awa witnesses gave a large amount of evidence and were supported by members of certain Te Arawa iwi.

Despite this, the Court awarded this lot to another iwi who had given military service to the Crown.
There was no provision for appeal from the decisions of the Court: (45) The compensation process and its outcomes added to the upheaval and distress of the people of Ngati Awa about the conﬁscation.

There was uncertainty about who was entitled to claim compensation from the Court.

It often took up to 10 years before a Crown grant was issued for the land returned.
Some hapu received land that was previously occupied by other hapu and the Whakatane section of Ngati Awa also had to accept members of other hapu onto their lands, including those from the Matata region who had been more directly involved in the battles of 1864 and 1865.

A large proportion of the land that Wilson had arranged for return was mountainous, barren country.
Once land was restored either through Wilson’s arrangements or the Compensation Court process, it was returned to individuals rather than to the hapu and iwi.

The awards did not reﬂect customary forms of land tenure and the land became more susceptible to sale: 38 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Preamble (46) In future years Ngati Awa’s interests in the blocks to the west of the conﬁscation line were not recognised in the awards of the Native Land Court.
Ngati Awa consider that, because of the events of 1865 to 1867, including the determinations of the Compensation Court, they were prejudiced in later Native Land Court cases involving these blocks: (48) The operations of the native land laws, subsequent purchases, and other alienations (47) The Native Land Court was established under the Native Land Acts of 1862 and 1865 to determine the owners of Maori land “according to Native Custom” and to convert customary title into title derived from the Crown.
The Crown’s pre­emptive right of land purchase was also set aside, enabling Maori to lease and sell their lands with few restrictions.

As was often the case in the 1860s, there was limited consultation concerning this legislation, and the Crown did not speciﬁcally consult Ngati Awa.

Maori had no direct representation in Parliament at this time.
Ngati Awa therefore considers that this change in the land tenure system was imposed on them: In the 1870s Crown land purchase agents were instructed to purchase land in the Rangitaiki area and sometimes negotiated leases and deeds of transfer prior to the land being taken to the Native Land Court for title investigation.

During the 1870s, 1880s, and 1890s Ngati Awa made claims to lands south of the conﬁscation line.

Their claims to Ruatoki and Kaingaroa blocks were not upheld by the Court.
The Native Land Court awarded Ngati Awa hapu interests in the Pokohu, Putauaki, Matahina, Waiohau, and Tuararangaia blocks over this period.

In most cases the Court also awarded parts of these land blocks, regarded by Ngati Awa as theirs, to other iwi.

The Crown later ordered rehearings into some of the blocks by way of legislation.
As a result, Ngati Awa lost some of the land they had originally been awarded at Pokohu and Matahina: (49) The Court awarded Ngati Awa approximately 79 000 acres in the Matahina block after a title investigation hearing in 1881.

A rehearing was held in 1884 and Ngati Awa were awarded a reduced area of approximately 74 300 acres.

An area of 8 500 acres of this was immediately taken by the Crown in payment 39 Preamble Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 of a survey lien.
Native Land Court awards were made in the names of individuals and while Ngati Awa managed to retain most of the land awarded to them for some time, the process of individualising and partitioning of interests accelerated in the 20th century.

This resulted in substantial fragmentation and as a consequence many private sales occurred throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

By 1980 Ngati Awa’s interests in the Matahina block had been reduced to 240 acres in Matahina A1D1.
Ngati Awa consider the loss of this block a signiﬁcant grievance, which is encapsulated in the waiata Tangi mo Matahina: (50) Putauaki is the tipuna maunga of all Ngati Awa.

Putauaki was bisected by the conﬁscation boundary and, consequently, the northern portion of the maunga was awarded to Te Pahipoto and Nga Maihi by the Compensation Court in 1867.

The southern portion of the maunga was within the Putauaki block.
An agreement for the sale of the block, subject to conditions, was arranged between Crown purchase agents and some Ngati Awa in 1879 but title to the block was not investigated by the Native Land Court until 1881.

The Court awarded the block to Ngati Awa and the iwi requested the land be made inalienable.

Ten days later, however, on a request from 2 Ngati Awa chiefs, Rangitukehu and Penetito, the Court divided the block into 3 parts.
The largest block was vested in 15 individuals and immediately sold to the Crown.

Within days, 27 Ngati Awa men, women, and children petitioned the Native Minister protesting the alienation of the block.

Those involved in the sale later requested that the Crown return this and other blocks in exchange for a refund of the purchase money but the Crown did not agree.
The remainder of the block, which included the maunga, was awarded to various individuals of Ngati Awa and other iwi and ceased to be a tribal asset as a consequence of this process of individualisation.
Ngati Awa consider the alienation of Putauaki through various processes in the 19th and 20th centuries to be a signiﬁcant grievance: (51) Ngati Awa also lost land through acquisitions under public works legislation in the 20th century, including blocks in the Rangitaiki, Poroporo­Rewatu, Matahina, Whakatane, 40 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Part 1 s 3 and Matata areas.
There were urupa, other wahi tapu, and papakainga on some of the lands taken: (52) Ngati Awa have sought justice for the wrongs inﬂicted on the iwi by the Crown since 1867.

Numerous petitions were sent to the Crown relating to the conﬁscations, imprisonments, and the loss of land over many generations.

Ngati Awa’s case was heard before the Sim Commission in 1927 but the Commission did not ﬁnd in favour of the general Ngati Awa claim.
The Commission did, however, ﬁnd that Ngai Te Rangihouhiri H and Ngati Hikakino had been granted only a small area of land.

This was later depleted by a taking under public works legislation and as a result these hapu were left with poor quality land which was insufﬁcient to support them.
The Commission recommended the award of some land at Matata, but this never eventuated: (53) As a result of the recommendations of the Sim Commission other iwi had annuities paid to them by the Crown, and Trust Boards were established for some raupatu iwi, but not for Ngati Awa: The Parliament of New Zealand therefore enacts as follows: 1 2 3 Title This Act is the Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005.

(b) (c) 47 Part 1 s 8 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Text of acknowledgements in English The text of the acknowledgements in English as set out in the Ngati Awa deed of settlement is as follows: (1) The Crown acknowledges that Ngati Awa have sought redress since 1867, that despite previous efforts made in the 20th century it has failed to deal with the grievances of Ngati Awa in an appropriate way, and that recogni­ tion of these grievances is long overdue.
The Crown hereby recognises the legitimacy of the Ngati Awa his­ torical claims and makes the following acknowledge­ ments.
The Crown acknowledges: (a) that Ngati Awa suffered loss of life and destruc­ tion of property during the Crown’s expedition to arrest those involved in the murders of Fulloon and others; and the sense of grievance suffered by Ngati Awa in relation to the arrests, trials, imprisonment, and execution of leaders of Ngati Awa hapu; and that the remains of the Ngati Awa men who died in prison were interred without ceremony within the prison walls and were not returned to their whanau until 1988; and the destructive effect of these events on the social structure, mana, and rangatiratanga of the hapu involved who were rendered both landless and leaderless.
(b) (c) (d) The Crown acknowledges that: (a) Ngati Awa as an iwi were not in rebellion and were unfairly labelled as “rebels” and “tangata hara” ; and (c) (b) Ngati Awa were deprived of tribal land and re­ sources within the conﬁscation area and were un­ able to exercise rangatiratanga over them; and the conﬁscation of Ngati Awa tribal land had a devastating effect on the welfare, economy, and development of Ngati Awa and deprived the iwi of its many wahi tapu, access to its natural re­ sources, and opportunities for development; and (2) (3) 8 48 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Part 1 s 8 (d) its conﬁscation of Ngati Awa land was unjust, unconscionable, and a breach of the Treaty of Waitangi (Te Tiriti o Waitangi) and its principles, and was described by Ngati Awa as “he mahi pokanoa­an act without reason”.
(4) The Crown acknowledges that: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) (g) the prejudice created by the conﬁscation was compounded by inadequacies in the Compensa­ tion Court; and the Compensation Court awarded land to indi­ viduals rather than iwi or hapu, which was not consistent with customary tenure.
This system was imposed on Ngati Awa and their views were not sought; and in many cases the Compensation Court validated prior arrangements made by a Crown ofﬁcial re­ garding the distribution of land in this area; and the conﬁscations were indiscriminate because of the Court’s failure to return land in full to those considered to be loyal; and the compensation process relocated Ngati Awa hapu from land they had traditionally occupied and cultivated, to land that belonged to other Ngati Awa hapu which further exacerbated trad­ itional tensions between those hapu; and Ngati Awa land, tapu, was awarded to other iwi who then frequently alien­ ated those lands soon after; and these actions eroded the traditional social struc­ tures, mana, and rangatiratanga of Ngati Awa.
The Crown failed to adequately protect Ngati Awa from the impact of these actions, and this was a breach of the Treaty of Waitangi (Te Tiriti o Waitangi) and its principles.
including wahi (5) The Crown acknowledges that: (a) following the vesting of title under native land laws, Ngati Awa land holdings, comprising land returned after the conﬁscation and land outside 49 Part 1 s 8 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 (b) the conﬁscation boundaries, were further reduced by: (i) the taking of land for payment of survey liens; and Crown purchases and other sales; and (ii) the operation and impact of the native land laws, in particular the awarding of land to individual Ngati Awa rather than to iwi or hapu, made those lands more susceptible to partition, fragmen­ tation, and alienation.
This contributed to the further erosion of the traditional tribal structures of Ngati Awa which were based on collective tribal and hapu custodianship of land.

The Crown failed to take steps to adequately protect those structures.

This had a prejudicial effect on Ngati Awa, and was a breach of the Treaty of Waitangi (Te Tiriti o Waitangi) and its principles.
The Crown acknowledges that land was also acquired from Ngati Awa under public works legislation that al­ lowed for the compulsory taking of land if agreement could not be reached.

The Crown acknowledges that the cumulative effect of the Crown’s actions and omissions, particularly its fail­ ure to actively protect Ngati Awa interests in the land Ngati Awa wished to retain, left Ngati Awa virtually landless.
The Crown’s failure to ensure that Ngati Awa were left with sufﬁcient land for their present and future needs was a breach of the Treaty of Waitangi (Te Tiriti o Waitangi) and its principles.

The Crown acknowledges that: (a) the ancestral lands and resources alienated from Ngati Awa have made a signiﬁcant contribution to the wealth and development of the nation, whilst Ngati Awa has been alienated from and deprived of the beneﬁts of those lands and re­ sources.
This loss of control over land has preju­ diced Ngati Awa and hindered its economic, so­ cial, and cultural development.
It has also im­ peded the ability of Ngati Awa to exercise control (6) (7) (8) 50 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Part 1 s 9 over its taonga and wahi tapu and to maintain and foster spiritual connections with those ancestral lands; and the Crown also acknowledges, and pays tribute to, the contribution that Ngati Awa has made to the defence of the nation in New Zealand’s war efforts overseas; and the suffering and hardship resulting from the Crown’s actions is described by Ngati Awa in the following waiata: (b) (c) Here I live as an orphan, an orphan upon the land, an orphan among the people.
At night I weep helplessly, for where is hospitality to be given?

9 Text of apology in Maori­Ko te Whakapaha a te Karauna The text of the apology in Maori as set out in the Ngati Awa deed of settlement is as follows: (1) Ke tuku whakapaha okawa te Karauna ki a Ngati Awa, (2) (3) (4) e penei ana.
E aro nui ana te Karauna ki nga tono me nga akiakinga a nga tipuna o Ngati Awa i a ratou i rapu i te utu, i te tika, me te whakaea i roto i nga tau e 130 kua pahure, mo nga mahi a te Karauna, a, i konei ka tuku whakapaha te Karauna ki a ratou, ki o ratou uri me nga uri o nga hapu o Ngati Awa whanui.

E tino pouri ana, e whakapaha noa ana te Karauna mo ana takatakahi i Te Tiriti o Waitangi me ona matapono, i whakahuatia i runga ake nei.
E tino pouri ana, e whakapaha noa ana te Karauna mo tana raupatu i nga whenua o Ngati Awa, he mahi morikarika.

(5) Ko te mea nui, e tino pouri ana, e tino whakapaha ana te Karauna mo tana raupatu i nga whenua o Ngati Awa, tae rawa ki nga putanga o ana mahi i tau ki runga i nga whakatipuranga, ko te otinga atu o aua mahi, kua noho ahua whenua kore a Ngati Awa, kua turakina nga hanganga taha hapori, taha tikanga tuku iho, kua takahia te tino rangatiratanga o nga hapu o Ngati Awa.
51 Part 1 s 10 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 (6) (7) (8) E tino pouri ana, e tino whakapaha ana te Karauna i te mea kua kotahi rau tau e mau ana te korero ki runga i a Ngati Awa iwi, he “tangata hara” ratou; na enei ahu­ atanga te mana o te iwi i hahau.

E tino pouri ana, e tino whakapaha ana te Karauna mo nga rereketanga me nga paheketanga i pa kino mai ki te ora, ki te taha ohanga me te pakari o te tu a Ngati Awa hei iwi.
E tino pouri ana, e tino whakapaha ana te Karauna i tana kore aro atu ki to mana me te rangatiratanga o Ngati Awa.

(9) Na reira, i runga i nga kupu o te whakapaha nei, e rapu ana te Karauna kia ea enei mahi he ana, kia timata nga mahi whakaora; i tua atu, ko tona hiahia, ki te hanga whakapakari i tetahi hononga e takea mai ana i runga i te wairua whakawhirinaki, tetahi ki tetahi, me te wairua mahi tahi me Ngati Awa.
Text of apology in English The text of the apology in English as set out in the Ngati Awa deed of settlement is as follows: (1) The Crown formally apologises to Ngati Awa as set out in subsections (2) to (9).

The Crown recognises the efforts and struggles of the ancestors of Ngati Awa in pursuit of their claims for redress, justice, and compensation against the Crown for over 130 years, and makes this apology to them, their descendants, and nga uri o nga hapu o Ngati Awa whanui.
The Crown profoundly regrets and apologises unre­ servedly for the breaches of the Treaty of Waitangi (Te Tiriti o Waitangi) and its principles acknowledged above.

The Crown profoundly regrets and unreservedly apolo­ gises for the conﬁscation of Ngati Awa lands which was unconscionable.
The Crown profoundly regrets and unreservedly apol­ ogises for the cumulative effect of its actions over the generations which has left Ngati Awa virtually landless, (2) (3) (4) (5) 10 52 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Part 2 s 12 (6) (7) and which has undermined the social and traditional structures and autonomy of Ngati Awa hapu.
The Crown regrets that Ngati Awa as an iwi have borne the century old stigma of being labelled “rebels” and “tangata hara” and that this has damaged the self­esteem of the people.

The Crown profoundly regrets and unreservedly apolo­ gises for the destructive impact and demoralising effects of its actions which have caused signiﬁcant damage to the welfare, economy, and development of Ngati Awa as an iwi.

The Crown profoundly regrets its failure to acknow­ ledge the mana and rangatiratanga of Ngati Awa.
(9) Accordingly, with this apology, the Crown seeks to atone for these wrongs and begin the process of healing and looks forward to building a relationship of mutual trust and co­operation with Ngati Awa.

Preamble Under section 40, the Crown acknowledges Ngati Awa’ s statement of its cultural, spiritual, historical, and traditional association to Koohi Point as set out below.

134 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Schedule 4 Cultural, spiritual, historical, and traditional association of Ngati Awa with statutory area It is the historical traditions of Ngati Awa that illustrate the relation­ ship of Ngati Awa to Koohi Point Scenic Reserve.
For Ngati Awa, traditions such as these represent the links between the world of the gods and present generations.

These histories reinforce tribal iden­ tity, solidarity, and continuity between generations and document the events which shaped the environment of Koohi Point and Ngati Awa as an iwi.

Ngati Awa has resided at Koohi Point since the time of the ancestor Tiwakawaka, many generations before the arrival of the Mataatua waka at Whakatane.
Tiwakawaka was the ﬁrst explorer to discover and settle the land around Kakahoroa (Whakatane).

His waka was Te Aratauwhaiti and his descendants were the original people of Kaka­ horoa.

Some of the crew of Te Aratauwhaiti are commemorated in the names of the rocks at Koohi Point.

Twelve generations from Tiwakawaka came the ancestor Toi to Hu­ atahi.

Toi resided at Kaputerangi Pa which is located above the Koohi Point Scenic Reserve.
On the arrival of Hoaki and Taukata to the area in search of their sister, Kanioro, they were treated to a feast consist­ ing of fern root, berries, and other forest foods.

Upon tasting these foods they took an instant dislike to them, remarking that it was just like eating wood.

It was from this event that Toi became known as Toi­kai­rakau (Toi the vegetarian).

Hoaki and Taukata asked for a bowl of water in which they added dried preserved kumara or kao and asked their hosts to taste it.
Having tasted this delicious kai they desired to have more of it.

A canoe was built from driftwood log (tawhaowhao) and named accordingly Te Ara Tawhao.

Tama ki Hikurangi was chosen to captain the canoe to go in search of the source of the kumara.

These events occurred near Te Haehaenga, the beach immediately below Koohi near the Whakatane River.
A signiﬁcant event in the history of Ngati Awa was the arrival of the waka Mataatua, captained by Toroa, the chief of Mataatua and one of the principal ancestors of Ngati Awa.

Mataatua faced rough waters as it approached the headland at Whakatane (Koohi Point).

The tur­ bulence was so bad that it caused the daughter of Toroa, Wairaka, to suffer the indignity of experiencing sea sickness.

The teiirt by which Ngati Awa tipuna later called this experience was “ko­hi” (to be ill).
135 Schedule 4 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Hence the name by which the rocks, the point, and adjacent land is known today.

The name Koohi is well known in the traditions of Ngati Awa and appears in several waiata and in the following well known proverb: Nga mate i Koohi me tangi mai i Kawerau, nga mate o Kawerau me tangi atu i Koohi.

The deaths at Koohi will be wept over at Kawerau and the deaths at Kawerau will be wept over at Koohi.
Ngati Awa have traditionally regarded the Koohi Point Rocks as toka tipua (rocks imbued with spiritual and sacred qualities) and the places as papanga tawhito (ancient sites of traditional signiﬁcance).

Ngati Awa tipuna used the naming of the rocks at Koohi to record signiﬁ­ cant events and rangatira throughout their history.

The Koohi Point Rocks have been personalised with the names of some of those in­ volved in the Mataatua canoe’s lengthy ocean passage.
The Koohi Point Rocks are made up of a number of different rocks, some of which are referred to here to signify the importance of the Koohi Point Scenic Reserve and contiguous coastal area to Ngati Awa.

All the Koohi Point Rocks, aside from Hine­tu­aho­anga, Hi­moki, and Toka­tapu, are owned by Ngati Awa.

Hi­moki is in the mouth of the Whakatane River and was regarded as a very signiﬁcant ﬁshing spot.
The next Koohi Point Rock is Hinetu­ aho­anga, named after a woman who was a leader of the sand­stone people back in the ancient lands of Hawaiki.

This rock was used for sharpening tools in ancient times.

To the west of Koohi Pa is Te Puke a Hawaiki, also known as Hin­ garae or Sugar Loaf Rock.

This rock was named after an accident where a rangatira slipped and hit his forehead.
Next to Hingarae are Te Toka Koakaroa, commonly referred to as Koakaroa, which is the traditional name of the entrance to the Whakatane River, and Areiawa.

The latter is submerged in the channel of the 2 former rocks and is historically known as the guardian rock of the Whakatane River.

Sited amongst these rocks is Toka Kuku­poniania, commonly referred to as Niania Rock.

Niania is a species of mussel commonly found in the area.
136 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Schedule 4 Kopua Huruhuru is an area of water north­east of Te Puke a Hawaiki and encompasses the shoreline and bed of rocks north of it.

This area was well known as a harvesting place for seafood.

Below the very point of this headland are Koohi Point and Rukupo rocks.
The latter rock is signiﬁcant in Ngati Awa mythology in that it was here that the famous tohunga Te Tahinga o te Rangi rested when he returned from Whakari (White Island).

On the eastern coastline of Koohi Point Scenic Reserve is Te Toka o te Rua o te Ika (Fish Hole), a bay renowned by Ngati Awa for the varieties of ﬁsh that dwell there.

In the middle of this bay is a rock island of the same name.

Located off its eastern point is a submerged rock called Whakari of the same name as the island volcano.
Whakari and the adjourning bay, Pipiko, are popular nesting areas for the grey­ faced petrel commonly known as muttonbird or tiff.

The area was also a popular spot from which Ngati Awa people collected kaimoana including koura, paua, and kina.

Paparoa and Otarawairere are also areas on the eastern side of Koohi Point Scenic Reserve that were well known as recreational sites for the collection of seafood.
The particular Ngati Awa hapu who lived on and around the lands of the Koohi Point Scenic Reserve were Te Patutatahi or Ngai Tai­ whakaea II, Ngati Hokopu, and Ngati Pukeko (which was previ­ ously referred to as Ngai Tonu).

Patutahora and Ngati Rangataua were divisions of Ngati Pukeko.
Ngati Wharepaia, a division of Ngati Hokopu, and Te Patuwai also have historical and cultural con­ nections to Koohi Point by virtue of their descent from the Ngati Awa ancestors, Taiwhakaea I, Te Rangitipukiwaho I, Taiwhakaea II, Nukutaimehameha, Paiaka, Te Hemahema, Te Putarera, and Te Hamaiwaho.

Other hapu of the area included Ngati Ikapuku, Ngati Maumoana, Ngati Hore, Ngati Paeko, Ngati Whakapoi, and Ngati Whakahinga.

Ngati Awa people occupied a number of pa sites at Koohi Point.
Aside from Kaputerangi, the famous pa of Toi, there was a neigh­ bouring pa site called Orahiri.

Orahiri derived its name from Rahiri, the son of Puhi­moana­ariki, the brother of Toroa.

Although there were other pa sites on Koohi Point during the time of Puhi and Toroa, Orahiri was the only settlement with a chief, namely Puhi.

Toroa himself lived on the ﬂat lands below Koohi Point.
137 Schedule 4 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 There was an instance during the kumara planting season when Puhi, who lived at Koohi Point, being jealous of his older brother Toroa for holding the mana of Mataatua as bestowed upon him by his father Irakewa, set out to insult his tuakana (older brother).

After hearing the insult directed at him by his younger brother, Toroa reciprocated.
Bitter resentment arose between the 2 brothers, with Puhi deciding to take the Mataatua waka and seek a new home in the North.

Papa­Whariki was another area of occupation by Ngati Awa at Koohi Point.

Papa­Whariki overlooked Te Ana o Muriwai (Muriwai’s Cave).

There were three sites at Papa­Whariki.

Below this site, directly opposite Te Ana o Muriwai at the water front, once stood Irakewa Island.

Irakewa was the father of Toroa.


The island held a spiritual signiﬁcance for Ngati Awa as descendants of this ancestor.

Another pa at Koohi Point was Taumata Kahawai.

The name of this pa signiﬁes a lookout place for Kahawai.

Taumata Kahawai was oc­ cupied by the chief Taiwhakaea I, founder of the hapu of Te Patu­ tatahi or Ngai Taiwhakaea and of Ngati Ikapuku.

These hapu were responsible for observing the ocean and surrounding shores for pos­ sible invasion and shoals of ﬁsh.
Other pa sites within the Koohi Point Scenic Reserve include Te Rae o te Tamure, Koohi, and Te Whakatere.

Te Rae o te Tamure Pa is situated on the ridge between Ohope West and Otarawairere beach at Koohi Point.

It runs north from the vicinity of Otarawairere down to the cliffs at the seaside edge of the ridge.

Situated at the bottom of the cliff is a very important ﬁshing rock called Whanga­panui where snapper would gather in abundance (hence the name “The Gathering Place of Snapper”).
There were other pa sites at Koohi Point, adjacent to the modern day Koohi Point Scenic Reserve.

Papaka was located directly above Pohaturoa Rock at Koohi Point.

Opposite and south of Papaka is another well known pa site, Puketapu.

To the east of Papaka and towards Te Wairere Falls were Koohinepipi and Tamatea­Iwi.

Below these pa to the north­east was Kuharoa.

Further Ngati Awa pa at Koohi Point were Hauwai, Kuharua, Kaeaea, Pahau, Tikotikorere, and Tirotiro Whetu.
These were all settlements named and occupied by Ngati Awa.

The people of these pa also utitilised the abundant resources of the Koohi Point Scenic Reserve.

138 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Schedule 4 The various pa and other sites within and in the vicinity of Koohi Point Scenic Reserve demonstrate the general and special signiﬁ­ cance of the statutory area to Ngati Awa.
They show how the region has been occupied by Ngati Awa hapu since the time of the Mataatua waka and before.

The Ngati Awa tipuna had considerable knowledge of whakapapa, traditional trails and tauranga waka, places for gathering kai and other taonga, ways in which to use the resources of the Koohi Point area, the relationship of people with the area and their dependence on it, and tikanga for the proper and sustainable utilisation of resources.
All of these values remain important to the people of Ngati Awa today.

— Koohi Point Scenic Reserve is the repository of many koiwi tangata, secreted away in places throughout the Reserve.

Urupa are the rest­ ing places of Ngati Awa tipuna and, as such, are the focus of whanau traditions.

Urupa and wahi tapu are places holding the memories, traditions, victories, and defeats of Ngati Awa tipuna, and are fre­ quently protected in secret locations.
The mauri of the coastal area represents the essence that binds the physical and spiritual elements of all things together, generating and upholding all life.

All elements of the natural environment possess a life force and all forms of life are related.

Mauri is a critical elem­ ent of the spiritual relationship of Ngati Awa whanui to Koohi Point Scenic Reserve.

140 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Schedule 5 Schedule 5 Statutory acknowledgement for Mokorua Scenic Reserve s 40 Statutory area The area to which this statutory acknowledgement applies (statutory area) is the area known as Mokorua Scenic Reserve, as shown on SO 310381, South Auckland Land District.
Preamble Under section 40, the Crown acknowledges Ngati Awa’s statement of Ngati Awa’s cultural, spiritual, historical, and traditional association to Mokorua Scenic Reserve as set out below.

Cultural, spiritual, historical, and traditional association of Ngati Awa with statutory area The traditions of Ngati Awa illustrate the cultural, historical, and spir­ itual association of Ngati Awa to the Mokorua Scenic Reserve.
For Ngati Awa, traditions such as these represent the links between the world of the gods and present generations.

These histories reinforce tribal identity, connection, and continuity between generations and conﬁrm the importance of the Mokorua Scenic Reserve to Ngati Awa.

According to Ngati Awa traditions Tiwakawaka was the ﬁrst explorer to discover and settle the land around Kakahoroa (Whakatane).

His waka was Te Aratauwhaiti and his descendants became known as Ngati Ngainui.
The descendants of Tiwakawaka are the original people of Kakahoroa.

Twelve generations from Tiwakawaka came the ancestor Toi Te Huatahi.

Toi resided at Kaputerangi above Kakahoroa.

Toi is acknowledged as the principal founding ancestor of many iwi including Ngati Awa.

Ngati Awa history then records the arrival of the waka Mataatua (the eye of the god) at Kakahoroa (Whakatane) from the ancestral homeland Hawaiki.
Many of the ancestors of Ngati Awa on board Mataatua and their descendants utilised the natural bounty of what is now known as the Mokorua Scenic Reserve.

Ngati Awa from Whakatane, Ngati Pukeko, Ngati Hokopu, and Ngai Taiwhakaea II hapu of Ngati Awa have resided in and around the 141 Schedule 5 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 lands of the Mokorua Scenic Reserve for many generations.
Battle sites, urupa and landscape features bearing the names of tipuna record their history of occupation.

The result of the struggles, alliances and marriages arising out of various inter­hapu disputes within Ngati Awa was the eventual emergence of a stable, organised and, from time to time, united series of hapu located in and around the Mokorua Scenic Reserve area.
As recently as the mid­1800s the Mokorua Scenic Reserve was the centre of debate and conﬂict between tribes stemming from a plan to establish a ﬂour mill in the area.

After the battles, Ngati Awa continued to reside on the lands of the Mokorua Scenic Reserve.

The lands of the Mokorua Scenic Reserve were always regarded by Ngati Awa, particularly the hapu of the Whakatane area, as a valuable source of foods such as birds including the kereru.
Ever since ancient times the lands of the Mokorua Scenic Reserve have been from time to time the cause of many disputes because of the abundant nature of the area for food gathering.

All elements of the natural environment possess a life force and all forms of life are related.

Mauri is a crit­ ical element of the spiritual relationship of Ngati Awa whanui to the Mokorua Scenic Reserve.
The Ngati Awa tipuna had considerable knowledge of whakapapa, traditional trails, places for gathering kai and other taonga, ways in which to use the resources of the Mokorua Scenic Reserve, the re­ lationship of people with the area and their dependence on it, and tikanga for the proper and sustainable utilisation of resources.

All of these values remain important to the people of Ngati Awa today.
The Mokorua Scenic Reserve is the repository of many koiwi tangata, secreted away in places throughout the Reserve.

Urupa are the rest­ ing places of Ngati Awa tipuna and, as such, are the focus of whanau traditions.

Urupa and wahi tapu are places holding the memories, traditions, victories, and defeats of Ngati Awa tipuna, and are fre­ quently protected in secret locations.

Cultural, spiritual, historical, and traditional association of Ngati Awa with statutory area It is the historical traditions of Ngati Awa such as whakapapa, waiata, korero, and whakairo that illustrate the cultural and spiritual associ­ ation of Ngati Awa to the Ohope Scenic Reserve.

These histories link the present generations of Ngati Awa with their ancestors and the atua of the natural world such as Io­Matua­Kore, Ranginui, and Papatuanuku.
These traditions form the foundation of the identity of Ngati Awa as an iwi.

Some of these important historical traditions are recorded below.

Ngati Awa history records the arrival of the waka Mataatua (the face of the god) at Kakahoroa (Whakatane) from the ancestral homeland Hawaiki.

Mataatua brought the kumara to Kakahoroa and a par­ cel of soil from Rangiatea to place in the garden called Matirerau.

Toroa, the chief of Mataatua, is acknowledged as one of the princi­ pal ancestors of Ngati Awa.
From Toroa came Ruaihona, from Ru­ 144 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Schedule 6 aihona came Tahinga o Te rangi and from Tahinga o Te rangi came Awanuiarangi II.

The eponymous ancestor Awanuiarangi II, great­ grandson of Toroa, is acknowledged by Ngati Awa as the paramount and principal identifying ancestor to which all hapu of Ngati Awa can trace descent.

During the early occupation of Ohope by Ngati Awa, various hapu established the customary interests of the iwi.
Following that, during the late 18th century 2 Ngati Awa hapu, Ngati Hokopu and Ngati Wharepaia, were prominent within the Reserve and surrounding area.

A number of pa sites near the Ohope Scenic Reserve illustrate the strong historical associations of Ngati Awa to the Reserve.

West­ ern­most was Otumanu Pa. Te Rae o Te Tamure was nearby, on the ridge between Ohope West and Otarawairere beach at Koohi Point.

Both these pa were occupied by Tamaruarangi, a well­known ran­ gatira and ancestor of Ngati Awa.
Further east, near the coast below the Ohope Scenic Reserve were 2 key strategic pa called Maunga­ teone Pa (Sand Mountain) and Te Paripari or Gunﬁghters’ Pa. Further along Ohope towards Ohiwa were Mihi Marino Pa (Calm Greetings) and Raukawarua Pa.

There were also pa within the Ohope Scenic Reserve but their names have been lost over time.
The Ohope Scenic Reserve was rich in resources and provided an abundance of wildlife, plant, and vegetation for the hapu of Ngati Awa that lived within or near the Reserve.

The Reserve was a favourite food gathering place for the hapu of Ngati Awa.

The use of the Reserve area has been evidenced by the discovery of artefacts along the creekbed of Te Huki o to Tuna (Spit of the Eel) in past years.
To ensnare some of the abundant bird life within the area known today as the Ohope Scenic Reserve the people of the hapu would hollow out miro logs as drinking troughs for birds such as kereru and wait in hiding for them.

The medicinal qualities of the plant life in the Ohope Scenic Reserve were also important to Ngati Awa.

These cultural aspects of the Re­ serve constitute an essential part of the heritage of Ngati Awa.

Par­ ticular stretches of the Ohope Scenic Reserve also have their own traditions.
West of Otumanu along the cliff face is the path known as Te Ara­ka which means the burning path or illuminated pathway.

145 Schedule 6 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Ngati Awa have always maintained a considerable knowledge of the lands of the Ohope Scenic Reserve and surrounding area, its history, the traditional trails of the tipuna in the area, the places for gathering kai and other taonga, and the ways in which to use the resources of the Ohope Scenic Reserve.
Proper and sustainable resource manage­ ment has always been at the heart of the relationship of Ngati Awa with the Ohope Scenic Reserve.

The sustainable management of the resources of the reserve remains important to the people of Ngati Awa today.

The Ohope Scenic Reserve is the repository of many koiwi tangata, secreted away in places throughout the reserve.

These urupa are wahi tapu and the knowledge of their location is often protected.
Urupa provide an important link to the memories and traditions of Ngati Awa tipuna and the protection of the relationship to those places is important to the spiritual wellbeing of the iwi.

The traditional values of mana, mauri, whakapapa, and tapu are cen­ tral to the relationship of Ngati Awa with the Ohope Scenic Reserve.

The mana of Ohope describes the power and importance of the re­ serve to Ngati Awa.

Mana also implies the responsibility of Ngati Awa as tangata whenua and guardians of the area.
The mauri of Ohope is the life force of Ohope.

All forms of life have a mauri and all forms of life are related.

One of the roles of Ngati Awa as tangata whenua is to protect the mauri of the Ohope Scenic Reserve area.

Whakapapa deﬁnes the genealogical relationship of Ngati Awa to the Reserve.

Tapu describes the sacred nature of the Reserve to Ngati Awa.

Mana, mauri, whakapapa, and tapu are all important spir­ itual elements of the relationship of Ngati Awa with the Ohope Scenic Reserve area.
All of these values remain important to the people of Ngati Awa today.

147 Schedule 7 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Schedule 7 Statutory acknowledgement for Moutohora (Whale Island) Wildlife Management Reserve s 40 Statutory area The area to which this statutory acknowledgement applies (statutory area) is the area known as Moutohora (Whale Island) Wildlife Man­ agement Reserve, as shown on SO 61405, South Auckland Land Dis­ trict.
Preamble Under section 40, the Crown acknowledges Ngati Awa’s statement of Ngati Awa’s cultural, spiritual, historical, and traditional association to Moutohora (Whale Island) Wildlife Management Reserve as set out below.

Cultural, spiritual, historical, and traditional association of Ngati Awa with statutory area The traditions of Ngati Awa illustrate the cultural, historical, and spiritual association of Ngati Awa to Moutohora.
For Ngati Awa, traditions such as these represent the links between the world of the gods and present generations.

These histories reinforce tribal iden­ tity, connection, and continuity between generations and conﬁrm the importance of Moutohora to Ngati Awa.

A signiﬁcant event in the history of Ngati Awa was the arrival of the waka Mataatua to Aotearoa.

Toroa, the chief of Mataatua, is ac­ knowledged as one of the principal ancestors of Ngati Awa.
The ﬁrst occupation of Moutohora was by the grandson of Toroa, Te­Rongo Tauaroa a Tai.

Te Rongo lived at a pa called Raetihi (The Summit of Gentle Breezes), now known as Pa Hill.

Some of the descendants of Rongo are found among the hapu of Ngati Awa.

Moutohora derives its name from the words Motu (island) and tohora (whale).

With the passage of time the name was shortened to Mouto­ hora.
It was here that Captain Cook’s ﬁrst expedition described the only double­hulled war canoe that they saw during their expedition 148 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Schedule 7 in Aotearoa.

This conﬁrms that in 1769 the Ngati Awa hapu living at Moutohora were using double­hulled waka for sea transport.

Taiwhakaea I, a noted chief of Ngati Awa and eponymous ancestor of the Taiwhakaea hapu of Ngati Awa, lived from time to time on Moutohora.
Te Ngarara, another Ngati Awa rangatira, also made frequent use of the island.

There were a number of pa sites on Moutohora that were used by the hapu of Ngati Awa who occupied the Island.

Raetihi is one such pa.

The unusual feature of Raetihi is that it has stone walls on the lower north­eastern side of the pa. Moutohora was occupied for relatively short periods of time when people travelled to the Island to gather food.
Gathering titi (mutton bird—grey faced petrels) and kaimoana from Moutohora were regular seasonal activities for the Whakatane based hapu of Ngati Awa.

There are also a number of signiﬁcant Ngati Awa wahi tapu on Moutohora.

Te Pari Kawau (Boulder Bay) was an ancient urupa of the hapu of Ngati Awa.

Another wahi tapu on Moutohora is Waiariki (Sulphur Bay).

Separate areas at Waiariki were set aside for cooking, bathing, and medicinal purposes.
Various Ngati Awa people suffer­ ing from skin ailments and especially from hakihaki were able to go to the hot springs at Waiariki and bathe in the sulphur laden water.

Te Puna Wai (The Water Spring) is a small spring on Moutohora.

Te Puna Wai was the only reliable source of fresh water.

However, during a very dry summer it was necessary to carry additional water to Moutohora from Whakatane.
Te Ratahi (McEwens Bay) was where the hapu of Ngati Awa living on Moutohora established their gardens and grew kumara and other root vegetables.

The abundant resources of Moutohora made it a valuable place to live for those hapu of Ngati Awa fortunate enough to occupy the Island.

The gathering of titi was always a traditional and annual activity in­ volving many of the hapu of Ngati Awa.
Ngati Awa people used the cultural practice of rahui to ensure the titi were never depleted com­ pletely on the Island.

Moutohora was also useful as a lookout point to intercept any intruders who were en route to some other part of the eastern coast.

Moutohora has always been a rich source of paua, kina, crayﬁsh, and the popular varieties of shellﬁsh for the hapu of Ngati Awa.
149 Schedule 7 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 The Ngati Awa tipuna had considerable knowledge of whakapapa, traditional trails and tauranga waka, places for gathering kai and other taonga, ways in which to use the resources of Moutohora, the re­ lationship of people with the area and their dependence on it, and tikanga for the proper and sustainable utilisation of resources.

All of these values remain important to the hapu of Ngati Awa today.
Moutohora is the repository of many koiwi tangata.

Urupa are the resting places of Ngati Awa tipuna and, as such, are the focus of whanau traditions.

Urupa and wahi tapu are places holding the mem­ ories, traditions, victories, and defeats of Ngati Awa tipuna, and are frequently protected in secret locations.

The rnauri of Moutohora represents the essence that binds the phys­ ical and spiritual elements of all things together, generating and up­ holding all life.
All elements of the natural environment possess a life force, and all forms of life are related.

Mauri is a critical element of the spiritual relationship of Ngati Awa whanui to Moutohora.
Purposes of statutory acknowledgement Under section 41, and without limiting the rest of this schedule, the purposes of this statutory acknowledgement are— (a) to require that relevant consent authorities, the New Zealand Historic Places Trust, or the Environment Court, as the case may be, have regard to this statutory acknowledgement in re­ lation to Moutohora (Whale Island) Wildlife Management Re­ serve, as provided in sections 42 to 44; and to require that relevant consent authorities forward summaries of resource consent applications to the Ngati Awa governance entity as provided in section 46; and to enable the Ngati Awa governance entity and any member of Ngati Awa to cite this statutory acknowledgement as evidence of the association of Ngati Awa to Moutohora (Whale Island) Wildlife Management Reserve as provided in section 47.

Schedule 8 Statutory acknowledgement for Part Ohiwa Harbour s 40 Statutory area The area to which this statutory acknowledgement applies (statutory area) is Part Ohiwa Harbour marked “A” on SO 61441, South Auck­ land Land District, being the foreshore, seabed, and coastal water (as those terms are deﬁned in the Resource Management Act 1991) and the air space above the water and, where the boundary of the area marked “A” on SO 61441 is shown as a landward boundary, the landward boundary is the line of mean high water springs, except that 151 Schedule 8 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 where that line crosses a river, the landward boundary at that point is whichever is the lesser of— (a) (b) 1 kilometre upstream from the mouth of the river; or the point upstream that is calculated by multiplying the width of the river mouth by 5.
Preamble Under section 40, the Crown acknowledges Ngati Awa’s statement of Ngati Awa’s cultural, spiritual, historical, and traditional association to Part Ohiwa Harbour as set out below.

Cultural, spiritual, historical, and traditional association of Ngati Awa with statutory area The traditions of Ngati Awa illustrate the cultural, historical, and spir­ itual association of Ngati Awa to the Ohiwa Harbour.
For Ngati Awa, traditions such as these represent the links between the world of the gods and present generations.

These histories reinforce tribal iden­ tity, connection, and continuity between generations and con­ﬁrm the importance of Ohiwa Harbour to Ngati Awa.

According to Ngati Awa the ﬁrst person to settle in the region was Maui.

After him was Tiwakawaka.

His descendant was Toi te Hu­ atahi who was also known as Toi Kairakau.

From Toi descended many tribes collectively known as Te Tini o Toi.
Another of these ancient tribes was Te Hapuoneone, a division of Te Tini o Awa who occupied the lands around Ohiwa.

The harbour has always been a source of sustenance to those residing around the harbour, at pa such as Tauwhare, Te Horo, and Paparoa.

The name Ohiwa comes from Te Ohiwa o Awanuiarangi II which means the standing place of Awanuiarangi II.

The name arose when Awanuiarangi II stood on the summit of the pa site Paparoa at Wainui on the shores of Ohiwa.
Since then Awanuiarangi’s descendants, the hapu of Ngati Awa, have resided and maintained a presence at Ohiwa Harbour.

There are a number of important Ngati Awa pa sites and wahi tapu in the Ohiwa Harbour, which demonstrate Ngati Awa connections with the harbour.

Generations of Ngati Awa have watched over Ohiwa from such places.

One such wahi tapu was Te Horonga o Ngai Te Hapu (the bathing place of Te Hapu).
Te Hapu was the 152 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Schedule 8 son of Taroakaikaha, the founding ancestor of the Patuwai hapu of Ngati Awa who are now located at Pupuaruhe, Toroa Marae and Motiti Island.

Te Horo, at the mouth of the Ohiwa Harbour, was also an important settlement of Te Kooti and his Ngati Awa followers.

Taipari is a wahi tapu also located at the mouth of the harbour near Te Horo.
Taipari is the area where Ngati Awa hapu would read the signs of the ocean, hence the name Taipari which means the rising and falling of the tides.

Taipari is also the name of a chief of the Ngati Awa hapu, Ngati Hokopu.

There are numerous other pa and wahi tapu known to Ngati Awa around the harbour.

Ngati Awa from Whakatane, Ngati Hokopu, and Ngati Wharepaia were instrumental in establishing and maintaining a Ngati Awa pres­ ence at Ohiwa Harbour.
Several pa were destroyed in the many battles between Ngati Awa and Whakatohea until peace was ﬁnally made between the 2 tribes in 1857.

There were several minor in­ cidents following the peace agreement regarding boundaries, but it is Ngati Awa’s tradition that a boundary between the iwi generally agreed at that time was to the Hokianga River in the Ohiwa harbour.

This boundary is still contested today.


The Hokianga River, which winds its way through the harbour and out to sea, can only be seen at low tide.

The Ohiwa harbour has provided Ngati Awa hapu with all the re­ sources of life they required to survive.

The harbour provided an abundance of ﬁsh and shellﬁsh such as ﬂounder, kahawai, mussels, pipi, cockles, scallops, and oysters.

The harbour was also rich in bird life and building material.
The Ngati Awa hapu, Ngati Hokopu and Ngati Wharepaia settled throughout the Ohiwa Harbour.

Otao was a favourite place of Ngati Hokopu for gathering kaimoana particularly pipi, scallops, and cockles.

Throughout the years Ngati Awa have exercised custodianship over the harbour and have imposed rahui (temporary restrictions) when appropriate, restricting the taking of mussels, scallops, and other kaimoana.
Proper and sustainable management of Ohiwa Harbour has always been at the heart of the relationship of Ngati Awa with the harbour.

Ohiwa Harbour is the repository of many koiwi tangata.

Urupa are the resting places of Ngati Awa tipuna and, as such, are the focus of whanau traditions.
Urupa and wahi tapu are places holding the 153 Schedule 8 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 memories, traditions, victories, and defeats of Ngati Awa tipuna and are frequently protected in secret locations.
Ngati Awa tipuna had considerable knowledge of whakapapa, trad­ itional trails and tauranga waka, places for gathering kai and other taonga, ways in which to use the resources of Ohiwa Harbour, the relationship of people with the area and their dependence on it, and tikanga for the proper and sustainable utilisation of resources.

All of these values remain important to the people of Ngati Awa today.

The Ohiwa Harbour is of great cultural and historical importance to Ngati Awa.
The mauri of Ohiwa Harbour represents the essence that binds the physical and spiritual elements of all things together, gener­ ating and upholding all life.

All elements of the natural environment possess a life force and all forms of life are related.

Mauri is a crit­ ical element of the spiritual relationship of Ngati Awa whanui to the Ohiwa Harbour.

Schedule 9 Statutory acknowledgement for Uretara Island s 40 Statutory area The area to which this statutory acknowledgement applies (statutory area) is the area known as Uretara Island, as shown on SO 61690, South Auckland Land District.
Preamble Under section 40, the Crown acknowledges Ngati Awa’s statement of Ngati Awa’s cultural, spiritual, historical, and traditional association to Uretara Island as set out below.
155 Schedule 9 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Cultural, spiritual, historical, and traditional association of Ngati Awa with statutory area It is the historical traditions of Ngati Awa such as whakapapa, wa­ iata, korero, and whakairo that illustrate the cultural and spiritual as­ sociation of Ngati Awa to Uretara Island.
These histories link the present generations of Ngati Awa with their ancestors and the atua of the natural world such as Ranginui, Papatuanuku, and Tane.

These traditions form the foundation of the identity of Ngati Awa as an iwi.

Some of these important historical traditions are recorded below.

According to Ngati Awa, Te Hapuoneone, a division of Te Tini o Awa, were the original inhabitants of Ohiwa Harbour.

These people resided at Uretara and other pa at Tauwhare, Te Horo, and Paparoa.
Ngati Awa tipuna also whakapapa to various pre­migration iwi including Te Hapuoneone, Maruiwi, Nga Potiki, Nga Maihi, Te Marangaranga, Te Tini o Toi, and Te Tini o Kawerau.

From time to time, these groups traversed the lands around and within the Ohiwa harbour, including Uretara Island.

The name Ohiwa comes from Te Ohiwa o Awanuiarangi II.

Awanuiarangi II is the great grandson of Toroa, captain of the Mataatua waka and is the principal ancestor of Ngati Awa.
Hapu of Ngati Awa have resided at Uretara, within the Ohiwa Harbour, since the time of Awanuiarangi II.

Uretara Island is one of a number of important Ngati Awa pa sites and wahi tapu in the Ohiwa Harbour.

Generations of Ngati Awa have watched over Ohiwa from Uretara Island.

To the people of Ngati Awa, Uretara Island is of great cultural and historical importance.

Two major pa, Paripari and Karamea, were built on Uretara Island to access, protect, and watch over Ohiwa.
The strategic geographical position of the island made it an ideal fortiﬁed village.

During the time of warfare the strategically built pa, terraces, sur­ rounding water, and skilled Ngati Awa warriors made it almost im­ possible for outsiders to conquer the island.

Many battles were fought between Ngati Awa and other iwi over the control of Uretara Island.

Ngati Awa were often successful in those conﬂicts but sometimes suffered temporary defeats at the hands of other related Mataatua tribes.
During this time ownership of Uretara Island ﬂuctuated between Ngati Awa and Whakatohea hapu, includ­ 156 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Schedule 9 ing Upokorehe.

Prior to 1840 and the arrival of tauiwi (European set­ tlers) Uretara Island was occupied by Te Kepa Toihau and his people of the Whakatane section of Ngati Awa.

In 1862 a dispute over rights to Uretara Island arose between Ngati Awa and Whakatohea.
Independent assessors were called in and they decided in favour of Ngati Awa although Whakatohea continued to express objections.

Uretara Island was then included in the conﬁsca­ tion area in 1866 and was not returned to Maori by the Compensation Court.

Since this time the island has been out of Ngati Awa’s control.

However Ngati Awa have always maintained a cultural and spiritual association to Uretara.

Uretara Island is one of the areas where the footprints of Ngati Awa tipuna remain.
It is a place where the people of Ngati Awa would be able to sit and reﬂect on the life of their ancestors sensing the ihi (power), wehi (fear), and the mauri (life force) emanating from the land and water.

The Ngati Awa tipuna had considerable knowledge of whakapapa, traditional trails and tauranga waka, places for gathering kai, other taonga, and ways in which to use the resources of Uretara Island.
The tipuna were also knowleageable in the relationship of people with the area and their dependence on it, and tikanga for the proper and sustainable utilisation of resources.

All of these values remain important to the hapu of Ngati Awa today.

Uretara Island is also the repository of koiwi tangata.

Urupa are the resting places of Ngati Awa tipuna and, as such, are the focus of whanau traditions.
Urupa and wahi tapu are places holding the mem­ ories, traditions, victories, and defeats of Ngati Awa tipuna.

To the people of Ngati Awa, Uretara Island is of the utmost import­ ance because of its physical, spiritual, and social signiﬁcance in the past, present, and future.

The mauri of Uretara Island represents the essence that binds the physical and spiritual elements of all things together, generating and upholding all life.
All elements of the nat­ ural environment possess a life force, and all forms of life are related.

Mauri is a critical element of the spiritual relationship of Ngati Awa whanui to Uretara Island.

Schedule 10 Statutory acknowledgement for Whakatane River s 40 Statutory area The area to which this statutory acknowledgement applies (statutory area) is the River known as the Whakatane River, as shown on SO 61404, South Auckland Land District.

Preamble Under section 40, the Crown acknowledges Ngati Awa’s statement of Ngati Awa’ s cultural, spiritual, historical, and traditional association to the Whakatane River as set out below.
Cultural, spiritual, historical, and traditional association of Ngati Awa with statutory area It is the historical traditions of Ngati Awa such as whakapapa, waiata, korero, and whakairo that illustrate the cultural and spiritual associ­ ation of Ngati Awa to the Whakatane River.

These histories link the present generations of Ngati Awa with their ancestors and the atua of the natural world such as Ranginui, Papatuanuku, and Tane.
These traditions form the foundation of the identity of Ngati Awa as an iwi.

Some of these important historical traditions are recorded below.

The Whakatane River is rich in historical and cultural association for Ngati Awa.

One of the founding ancestors of Ngati Awa, Tiwakawaka, lived at the mouth of the Whakatane River.

Hoaki and Taukata landed here and were stranded at the river mouth.

The Mataatua waka also landed at the mouth of the Whakatane River.
159 Schedule 10 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 The present name “Te Awa o Whakatane” relates to the arrival of the waka Mataatua to Aotearoa.

Wairaka was the daughter of Toroa and a member of the crew of the waka Mataatua.

When Mataatua arrived at Whakatane, most of the men of the waka climbed the hill at Kaputerangi to observe the new land.

They left the waka attended by a group of women.

The mooring of the waka became loosened and it began to drift out to sea.
Wairaka, who had been observing the situation, took the matter in hand and cried “E!

Kia Whakatane ake au i ahau” (Let me act the part of a man).

Hence the name “Whakatane”.

Toroa, the chief of Mataatua, is acknowledged as one of the principal ancestors of Ngati Awa.

The naming of various features including rocks in the Whakatane River reﬂects the succession of explorers and ancestors of Ngati Awa who lived along the Whakatane River.
Rocks in the mouth of the Whakatane River include Te Puke­a­Hawaiki, Koakaroa, Areiawa, Toka Mauku, Toka Roa, Rangaia, and Roimata Turuturu.

The Ngati Awa people have used the Whakatane River to access sacred sites along its banks.

When the Mataatua waka landed at Whakatane, one of the very ﬁrst tasks performed by Toroa and its other occupants was to build a sacred alter called a pouahu.

The spot on which the pouahu was built was located on the bank of the Whakatane River.
The mauri of the Mataatua waka was placed at the pouahu.

This was an object that represented the physical and spiritual welfare of the waka and its occupants during its voyage.

Later the mauri represented the wel­ fare of the people in their residence.

A manuka tree was planted at the pouahu as a symbol representing life and well­being for the people of the Mataatua waka.

At this place people revealed their misfortunes, afﬂictions and transgressions.
The symbolic nature of the manuka tree gave expression to the term “Te Manuka Tutahi” (the lone stand­ ing manuka tree).

This term has become a strong spiritual identifying term for the people of Ngati Awa.

Close to Te Manuka Tutahi on the side of the Whakatane River was Hine Tuahoanga (ancestress of stone).

This rock was once used by the hapu of Ngati Awa for sharpening stone, aided with the waters from Whakatane River alongside.
On the other side of the river mouth from Te Manuka Tutahi lies the ancient urupa of Opihi­whanaunga­kore where many of the remains of the Ngati Awa people who lived at Whakatane are now buried and watch over 160 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Schedule 10 Whakatane River.

Some notable Ngati Awa ancestors buried at Opihi are Te Waiopotanga, Toihau, Te Kepa Toihau, Te Hamaiwaho, Te Apanui, and Uaterangi.
There were a number of tipua (guardian spirits) and taniwha of spe­ cial signiﬁcance to Ngati Awa that lived along the Whakatane River.

Tutarakauika was one of the tipua that lived in the Whakatane River.

Tutarakauika, because of his ability to communicate with life in the ocean, caused much jealousy among other young men of the tribe who later plotted and then clubbed him to death, and his body was taken out and cast into the sea.
His father Takatutahi and remain­ ing sons Rongoiri and Tutahi sought revenge, found the culprits, and took them to the same spot where they threw Tutarakauika overboard.

Takatutahi, Rongoiri, and Tutahi cast the offenders over­board and watched as they transformed into kutukutu moana (sea lice).

Tu­ tarakauika, however, was revived, cared for, and became part of the family of Tangaroa, being adopted by Kiwa and Hinemoana.
Te Tahi o te Rangi is a famous taniwha of the Whakatane River in the historical traditions of Ngati Awa.

In ancient times Te Tahi was a tohunga of great status in Ngati Awa.

It was believed that Te Tahi had great powers concerning the supernatural, and it was suspected by members of his tribe that these powers were being used for sin­ ister purposes.

These sinister suspicions were eventually brought to the fore when kumara plants became blighted one season and it was Te Tahi who was blamed.
A secret meeting was held in his absence and it was decided that he should be taken to Whakari and left there to perish.

A ﬁshing expedition was organised and Te Tahi was led to believe that he would guide them due to his superior knowledge of the best ﬁshing grounds.

Once the expedition arrived at Whakaari, Te Tahi was tricked and the waka left without him, leaving him stranded on the island.

Te Tahi summoned a whale which swam towards the rock where he sat.

Te Tahi climbed onto the whale.


The whale asked if the waka that had left Te Tahi should be destroyed and Te Tahi replied “waiho ma te whakama ratou e patu, waiho hei korero i a tatou Ida atawhai ki te iwi” (let their shame punish them, let us ac­ quire fame by means of mercy).

Te Tahi landed on a rock by the mouth of the Whakatane River named Rukupo and could be seen by the returning canoes.

Te Tahi then travelled to the rock Te Toka a Houmea, further inland along the Whakatane River, where he rested.
161 Schedule 10 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Later he was killed and his body then taken up the Rangitaiki River to Opuru (Te Opurunga o Te Tahi—The place where the body of Te Tahi was buried).

His kaitiaki, the whale monster Tutarakauika, swam up the Rangitaiki River and excavated a channel to Opuru, retrieved the body of Te Tahi and turned the body into a taniwha.

There are sev­ eral places along the Whakatane River that are named after Te Tahi.
Te Tahi is represented as a Marikihau in several carved houses of Ngati Awa.

The Whakatane River and its banks have been occupied by the ancestors of Ngati Awa since before the arrival of Mataatua.

More recently in the 18th and 19th centuries the chiefs Te Putarera, Tohi Te Ururangi, Toihau, Hokimoana, Te Ngarara, and their people resided at Te Whare o Toroa, the area around the present day Wairaka Marae which was located originally up against the banks of the river.
Since this time there has been reclamation due to the change in the river’s course.

Cultivations and sites of houses were well established in this region.

Throughout this period a number of hapu of Ngati Awa resided along the Whakatane River including Ngati Maumoana, Ngai Te Hapu, Ngati Ikapuku, Te Patuwai, Ngati Pukeko, Te Whanau a Taiwhakaea, Ngati Hinanoa, Ngati Kama, Ngai Tapiki, and Ngati Hokopu.

The Whakatane River was a life and spiritual source for those people.
All of these hapu had various pa, kainga, and wahi tapu along the banks of the river.

There were also a number of wahi tapu sites of signiﬁcance to Ngati Awa along the Whakatane River.

Mimihanui, Otangi­haku, Otarehie, Puke­rarauhe, Motueka, Rauporoa, Hurepo, Otarehu, and Ohineteraraku were kainga (settlements) of Ngati Awa along the river.

Otarahioi and Te Mauku Pa are pa sites at Taneatua.

Pekapekatahi is a wahi tapu near Taneatua.


This was the place where the Ngati Awa tohunga Te Tahi o te Rangi crossed the Whakatane River.

Generations of Ngati Awa have watched over the Whakatane River from such places.

The sites highlight Ngati Awa’ s connections to Whakatane River and the numerous residences along its shores.

In particular, Pohaturoa is a signiﬁcant wahi tapu site along the Whakatane River.
Pohaturoa is important because it was where the Treaty of Waitangi (Te Tiriti o Waitangi) was signed by Ngati Awa.

On 16 June 1840, representatives of the Ngati Awa hapu of Ngati Pukeko and Ngai Tonu signed a copy of the Treaty of Waitangi (Te Tiriti o Waitangi) at Pohaturoa.

This was an event of great historical signiﬁcance for Whakatane as well as for the people of Ngati Pukeko 162 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Schedule 10 and Ngati Awa.
The chiefs that signed the Treaty were Tautari, Mokai, Mato, Tarawatewate, Tunui, Taupiri, Haukakawa, Piariari, Matatehokia, Rewa, Tupara and Mokai II—presumed to be Mokai’s son.

Ngati Awa have always maintained a considerable knowledge of the Whakatane River, its history, the traditional trails of the tipuna along the river, the landing places of waka, the places for gathering kai and other taonga, and the ways in which to use the resources of the Whakatane River.
The Whakatane River was valued by Ngati Awa as a source of food including eels, kakahi, oysters, ﬁsh, and white­bait.

The Whakatane River was also used by Ngati Awa to transport goods to and from the inland settlements of the iwi.

Proper and sustainable resource management has always been at the heart of the relationship of Ngati Awa with the Whakatane River.

The traditional values of mana, mauri, whakapapa, and tapu are cen­ tral to the relationship of Ngati Awa with the Whakatane River.
The mana of the Whakatane River is the power and importance of the river to Ngati Awa.

Mana also deﬁnes the custodian responsibility of Ngati Awa as guardians of the river.

The mauri of the Whakatane River is the life force of the Whakatane River.

All forms of life have a mauri and all forms of life are related.

One of the essential roles of Ngati Awa is to protect the mauri of the river.

Whakapapa deﬁnes the genealogical relationship of Ngati Awa to the Whakatane River.
Tapu describes the sacred nature of the relation­ ship of Ngati Awa to the Whakatane River.

Mana, mauri, whaka­ papa, and tapu are all important spiritual elements of the relationship of Ngati Awa with the Whakatane River.

All of these values remain important to the people of Ngati Awa today.

Schedule 11 Statutory acknowledgement for Rangitaiki River s 40 Statutory area The area to which this statutory acknowledgement applies (statutory area) is the river known as the Rangitaiki River, as shown on SO 61406, South Auckland Land District.
Preamble Under section 40, the Crown acknowledges Ngati Awa’s statement of Ngati Awa’s cultural, spiritual, historical, and traditional association to the Rangitaiki River as set out below.

Cultural, spiritual, historical, and traditional association of Ngati Awa with statutory area The traditions of Ngati Awa illustrate the cultural, historical, and spir­ itual association of Ngati Awa to the Rangitaiki River.
For Ngati Awa, traditions such as these represent the links between the world of the gods and present generations.

These histories reinforce tribal identity, connection, and continuity between generations and conﬁrm the importance of the Rangitaiki River to Ngati Awa.

The Rangitaiki River has been a treasured taonga and resource for Ngati Awa.
Traditionally the Rangitaiki River and, in times past, 165 Schedule 11 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 the associated swamp area have been a source of food as well as a communication waterway.

Te Marangaranga were one group that held primacy over the swamp during the pre­migration period.

They were principally located in the Rangitaiki valleys of Te Houhi and Te Whaiti.

Upon the arrival of the waka Mataatua this group inter­ married with the new arrivals.
There were a number of taniwha and tipua (guardian spirits) that lived in and along the Rangitaiki River.

One such taniwha was Hakai Atua.

Hakai Atua was a taniwha of the Ngati Awa hapu of Ngai Tamaoki and resided close to their kainga.

Hakai Atua travelled the river and was a kaitiaki who protected the Ngai Tamaoki people.

Raukawarua was a taniwha who lived at Kokohinau.


Raukawarua was supposed to be a kaitiaki of other taniwha that lived in the river, thus Raukawarua became known as the rangatira of Ngati Awa (the chief of the river tribe and of all other river creatures).

Rimurimu was a tipua of the Ngati Awa hapu of Warahoe and Nga Maihi who lived along the Rangitaiki River between Te Teko and Matahina.

Rimurimu was only recognisable to the Warahoe hapu and only revealed itself to warn the people of danger.
Rimurimu came about after Miro, daughter of Hikareia (a chief of Warahoe), drowned herself after her plan to be with her lover was thwarted.

Miro chanted Te Punga i Orohia.

A line in the chant refers to her being a rimu.

Miro then took the form of Rimurimu.

Hine­i­Wharoa was a tipua in the form of a white eel that lived in the Rangitaiki River.

Hine­i­Wharoa was the kaitiaki of all the other eels that lived in the river.
Hine­i­Wharoa became the kaitiaki that limited the number of eels that could be caught by the people thereby ensuring that the ﬁshery would survive.

No matter how hard the people tried to catch Hine­i­Wharoa to clear the way so they would have unrestricted access to all eels, they could never do so.

In time the Warahoe hapu of Ngati Awa, also descendants of Te Marangaranga, occupied the lands along the Rangitaiki River.
Wara­ hoe was also the old name of the Orini Stream that connects the Rangitaiki and Whakatane Rivers.

The resources of the Rangitaiki River and swamp area were shared by the hapu of Ngati Awa living in the area.

The Ngati Awa hapu of Ngati Pukeko, Ngati Hokopu, and Te Patutatahi occupied the eastern bank of the Rangitaiki River.
Te 166 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Schedule 11 Pahipoto, Nga Maihi, and Te Patutatahi occupied the upper (south­ ern) portion of the river around Te Teko.

Te Tawera, Ngai Te Rangi­ houhiri II, and Ngati Hikakino occupied the western edge of the river.

Te Patutatahi had a large grouping of hapu that included Ngati Hi­ nanoa, Ngati Kama, Ngati Hina, Ngai Tapiki, and Te Whanau a Tai­ whakaea II.
This group occupied the important central reaches of the Rangitaiki River.

Te Patutatahi are today known as Ngai Taiwhakaea II.

The Rangitaiki River was an essential resource and taonga for those hapu communities from the Ngatamawahine, Pokairoa, Pa­ hekeheke, and Waikowhewhe streams to the original outlet of the river at Matata, where it once converged with the Tarawera River.

A number of settlements have been established by the hapu of Ngati Awa along the Rangitaiki River.
Such settlements highlight the con­ nections of Ngati Awa with the Rangitaiki River and their occupation of the river’s catchments.

One such settlement was Te Putere located on the coast between the Tarawera and Rangitaiki Rivers.

Te Put­ ere was a block of land slightly higher than the surrounding swamp area, originally inhabited by Ngati Patuwai and later Te Patutatahi, Te Pahipoto, and Te Patuwai.
Inland hapu used Te Putere as a ﬁshing Nohoanga allowing them access to the resources of the lower reaches of the Rangitaiki River and the sea.

Further inland along the Rangitaiki River were the Ngati Awa settle­ ments of Te Kupenga and Te Teko (which remains one of the prin­ cipal Ngati Awa settlements along the river).

Kokohinau Marae is another important Ngati Awa settlement located in the Te Teko area along the bank of the Rangitaiki River.

Te Pahipoto are the hapu of Kokohinau.


Nga Maihi, Ngati Tamawera, and Ngai Tamaoki also had villages along the river.

Ngati Hamua also have their kainga and marae on the banks of the Rangitaiki River.

Otipa Pa, occupied at dif­ ferent times by Nga Maihi, Warahoe, and Ngati Hamua, is another Ngati Awa kainga located along the Rangitaiki River.

The Rangitaiki River provided the hapu of Ngati Awa, particularly those living in pa along the river, with abundant food and material resources.
Water from the river was used by Ngati Awa to irrigate crops along the riverbanks.

Flax and raupo grew well along the river and, in times past, in the swamp ground.

These provided materials for clothing, building, and trade for the Ngati Awa hapu.

Fish, eels, and birds were also in plentiful supply.
Not only did the Rangitaiki River 167 Schedule 11 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 provide the Ngati Awa hapu with food, trade, and building materials but it also allowed easy internal movement for the hapu of Ngati Awa from one end of the rohe to the other and provided refuge in times of danger.
The tipuna had considerable knowledge of whakapapa, traditional trails and tauranga waka, places for gathering kai and other taonga, ways in which to use the resources of the Rangitaiki River, the re­ lationship of people with the river and their dependence on it, and tikanga for the proper and sustainable utilisation of resources.

All of these values remain important to the people of Ngati Awa today.

All elements of the natural environment possess a life force and all forms of life are related.
Mauri is a critical element of the spiritual relationship of Ngati Awa whanui to the Rangitaiki River.

The Rangitaiki River has always been an integral part of the social, spiritual, and physical lifestyle of the Ngati Awa people.

169 Schedule 12 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Schedule 12 Statutory acknowledgement for Tarawera River s 40 Statutory area The area to which this statutory acknowledgement applies (statutory area) is the river known as the Tarawera River, as shown on SO 61403, South Auckland Land District.
Preamble Under section 40, the Crown acknowledges Ngati Awa’s statement of Ngati Awa’s cultural, spiritual, historical, and traditional association to the Tarawera River as set out below.

Cultural, spiritual, historical, and traditional association of Ngati Awa with statutory area The traditions of Ngati Awa illustrate the cultural, historical, and spir­ itual association of Ngati Awa to the Tarawera River.
For Ngati Awa, traditions such as these represent the links between the world of the gods and present generations.

These histories reinforce tribal iden­ tity, connection, and continuity between generations and conﬁrm the importance of the Tarawera River to Ngati Awa.

The Tarawera River was created by the tears of Tarawera.

Tarawera yearned for her husband, Putauaki, who left her for the island of Moutohora.
In ancient times before the arrival of the waka Mataatua the banks of the Tarawera River were inhabited by ancestors of Ngati Awa including Te Tini o Toi, Te Tini o Awa, and Te Tini o Kaw­ erau.

In more modern times, but long before the arrival of Europeans, hapu such as Ngai Te Rangihouhiri II, Ngati Hikakino, and Te Taw­ era utilised the resources of the river and occupied its banks.

A number of tipua (guardian spirits) and taniwha of special signiﬁ­ cance to Ngati Awa inhabited the Tarawera River.
Taratua was one such taniwha.

This feared taniwha of Ngati Awa lived at Ruataniwha.

In ancient times Taratua terrorised and devoured people attempting to travel along the river.

Taratua was later killed by an ancestor of Ngati Awa named Iratumoana.

The story of Taratua is well known 170 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Schedule 12 and features the Ngati Awa tipuna Iratumoana, who was successful in killing the feared taniwha.
Te Awa a Te Atua is the name of the mouth of the Tarawera River.

When the Mataatua waka arrived at Te Awa a Te Atua, Wairaka bathed at the river mouth.

While Wairaka was swimming she was overcome with her menstruation.

Her father, Toroa, chief of the Mataatua waka saw blood ﬂoating down the river and asked whose godly blood it was.

Wairaka conﬁrmed that it was her blood and Toroa named the river mouth Te Awa a Te Atua (the river of the Gods).
The people of Ngati Awa lived in many villages located along the banks of the Tarawera River.

The riverbanks thus became the repos­ itory of many koiwi tangata.

Urupa are the resting places of Ngati Awa tipuna and, as such, are the focus of whanau traditions.

Urupa and wain tapu are places holding the memories, traditions, victories, and defeats of Ngati Awa tipuna, and are frequently protected in se­ cret locations.
All elements of the natural environment possess a life force and all forms of life are related.

Mauri is a critical element of the spiritual relationship of Ngati Awa whanui to the Tarawera River.

Awaiti is a well­known Ngati Awa wahi tapu along the Tarawera River.

Awaiti was named by the Ngati Awa chief Tihori when he released the two taniwha Tutarakauika and Tupai into the Tarawera River.

These two taniwha formed the Komutumutu River, which connects the Rangitaiki and Tarawera Rivers.
The Komutumutu River ﬂows into the Tarawera River (the smaller river), hence the name, Te Awaiti o Tihori.

Another site near the Tarawera River named by Tihori was Kopai o Piko.

Kopai o Piko was named when Tihori found out that his wife had been unfaithful to him and he decided to leave Matahina.

Tihori built a waka, Whakapaukarakia, and he left the district via the Rangitaiki River and then through Komutumutu into the Tarawera River and ﬁnally out at Te Awa a Te Atua.
The two taniwha, Tutarakauika and Tupai, dug out a channel which enabled Tihori to travel to Te Awa a Te Atua.

The channel they created formed bends in the land that established the Komutumutu River, hence the name Kopai o Piko.

Te Tatau o Hape is another wahi tapu of Ngati Awa at the Tarawera Falls.

Hape was a great ancestor of Ngati Awa who went in search of greenstone.
Hape travelled along the Tarawera River during his 171 Schedule 12 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 journey.

When Hape arrived at the Tarawera Falls, he placed a huge boulder in the path of the Tarawera River, hence the Maori name of the Tarawera Falls, Te Tatau a Hape (the door of Hape).

The Tarawera River was a major food and water resource to the Ngati Awa people both prior to and since the arrival of the Mataatua waka.
Ngati Awa people resided in a number of pa sites located along the riverbank.

Such sites are signiﬁcant to Ngati Awa and illustrate Ngati Awa connections to the Tarawera River.

A sacred pa site along the Tarawera River is Parawai.

Parawai was one of the pa of Te Tawera hapu of Ngati Awa.

Parawai was the site of many battles between Ngati Awa and other iwi.

Another important pa of Ngati Awa was Te Kohika.


This was located toward the coast and near the island pa of Te Matata and Omarupotiki and was used to access the reefs at the mouth of the river.

Omataroro was another important Ngati Awa pa near the Tarawera River.

Ngati Awa watched over and protected the Tarawera River from such pa. From time to time other hapu such as Ngati Pukeko and Ngati Hamua also lived along the Tarawera River near its mouth.
The Tarawera River provided an abundance of ﬁsh, eels, kakahi, and whitebait for the hapu of Ngati Awa.

The junction of the Waikamihi Stream and the Tarawera River was an important ﬁshing location for whitebait, eels, and other ﬁsh for Te Tawera hapu of Ngati Awa.

As well as being an abundant source of food for the hapu of Ngati Awa, the Tarawera River was also used as a highway to assist the transportation of materials and people up and down the river.
Waka that travelled up and down the Tarawera River were launched at Okauneke.

The tipuna had considerable knowledge of whakapapa, traditional trails and tauranga waka, places for gathering kai and other taonga, ways in which to use the resources of the Tarawera River, the re­ lationship of people with the river and their dependence on it, and tikanga for the proper and sustainable utilisation of its resources.

All of these values remain important to the hapu of Ngati Awa today.

Schedule 13 Statutory acknowledgement for Te Kaokaoroa Historic Reserve s 40 Statutory area The area to which this statutory acknowledgement applies (statutory area) is the area known as Te Kaokaoroa Historic Reserve, as shown on SO 61402, South Auckland Land District.

Preamble Under section 40, the Crown acknowledges Ngati Awa’s statement of Ngati Awa’s cultural, spiritual, historical, and traditional association to Te Kaokaoroa Historic Reserve as set out below.
Cultural, spiritual, historical, and traditional association of Ngati Awa with statutory area It is the historical traditions of Ngati Awa that illustrate the cultural and spiritual association of Ngati Awa to Te Kaokaoroa.

For Ngati 174 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Schedule 13 Awa, traditions such as these represent the links between the world of the gods and present generations.
These histories reinforce tribal identity, solidarity, and continuity between generations and docu­ ment the events which shaped the environment of Te Kaokaoroa and Ngati Awa as an iwi.

A signiﬁcant event in the history of Ngati Awa was the arrival of the waka Mataatua to Aotearoa.

Toroa, the chief of Mataatua, is ac­ knowledged as one of the principal ancestors of Ngati Awa.
When the Mataatua canoe made landfall at Te Awa o Te Atua (Matata), Toroa, observing that the shore line from the river mouth right across to Otamarakau was like a rib bone, named it Te Kaokaoroa o Toroa (the long rib of Toroa).

Over time a number of pa sites and wahi tapu of Ngati Awa hapu, including Ngai Te Rangihouhiri II, Ngati Hikakino, and Te Tawera, developed along Te Kaokaoroa o Toroa.
The pa sites included Mokaingarara and Te Matata (near Matata) and Nohonoho, Hauone, and Te Paripari (towards Otamarakau).

The wahi tapu in­ cluded Arakino and Te Awatarariki.

Te Kaokaoroa Reserve is part of this landscape named by Toroa.

Te Kaokaoroa Reserve is sacred to several hapu of Ngati Awa includ­ ing Ngai Te Rangihouhiri II, Ngati Hikakino, and Te Tawera, because it commemorates a great battle between Government forces and the Tai Rawhiti force along Te Kaokaoroa o Toroa coastline in 1864.
The Tai Rawhiti force was a collection of armies of the East Coast tribes who intended to travel to Waikato to support the Kingitanga to defend the invasion of their lands by Government forces and Euro­ pean settlers.

The Tai Rawhiti force included Ngati Awa, Whakato­ hea, Tuhoe, Te Whanau­a­Apanui, and Ngati Porou.

The Tai Rawhiti forces established a camp on the eastern side of the Waihi lagoon at Maketu.

The joint Crown and Te Arawa force set up camp on the western side.
The stalemate was broken with the arrival of two Government warships, the HMS Falcon and HMS Sandﬂy.

The ships began shelling the Tai Rawhiti forces who were then forced to retreat towards Otamarakau.

The battle of Te Kaokaoroa ensued.

Many of the Tai Rawhiti force lost their lives.

The dead included those of Whakatohea, Te Whanau­a­Apanui, Ngati Porou, and Ngati Awa.
175 Schedule 13 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Te Kaokaoroa Reserve is the resting place of Te Rangi­i­paea, a chief of Ngati Hikakino, who was killed at the battle of Te Kaokaoroa.

Many unnamed dead of Ngai Te Rangihouhiri II, Ngati Hikakno, Te Tawera, and other hapu of Ngati Awa were buried at this site by Hori Kawakawa and other Ngati Awa chiefs.
Hoera­tama­titahi, chief of the Ngati Porou contingent that was part of the Tai Rawhiti Force, also lies buried at Te Kaokaoroa.

Te Kaokaoroa is therefore the repository of many koiwi tangata.

Urupa are the resting places of Ngati Awa tipuna and, as such, are the focus of whanau traditions.

Urupa and wahi tapu are places holding the memories, traditions, victories, and defeats of Ngati Awa tipuna, and are frequently protected in secret locations.
The mauri of Te Kaokaoroa Reserve represents the essence that binds the physical and spiritual elements of all things together, generating and upholding life.

All elements of the natural environment possess a life force and all forms of life are related.

Mauri is a critical element of the spiritual relationship of Ngati Awa whanui to Te Kaokaoroa.

Schedule 14 Statutory acknowledgement for Former Matahina A5 Block s 40 Statutory area The area to which this statutory acknowledgement applies (statutory area) is the area known as Former Matahina A5 Block, as shown on SO 61685, South Auckland Land District.
177 Schedule 14 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Preamble Under section 40, the Crown acknowledges Ngati Awa’s statement of Ngati Awa’s cultural, spiritual, historical, and traditional association to Former Matahina A5 Block as set out below.
Cultural, spiritual, historical, and traditional association of Ngati Awa with statutory area It is the historical traditions of Ngati Awa such as whakapapa, waiata, korero, and whakairo that illustrate the cultural and spiritual associ­ ation of Ngati Awa to Matahina A5.

These histories link the present generations of Ngati Awa with their ancestors and the atua of the natural world such as Ranginui, Papatuanuku, and Tane.

These trad­ itions form the foundation of the identity of Ngati Awa as an iwi.
Some of these important historical traditions are recorded below.

Ngati Awa tipuna whakapapa to various pre­migration iwi including Te Hapuoneone, Maruiwi, Nga Potiki, Nga Maihi, Te Marangaranga, Te Tini o Toi, and Te Tini o Kawerau.

From time to time, these groups also traversed the lands, rivers, mountains, and forests of the Eastern Bay of Plenty region including the Matahina Valley.
Prior to the arrival of tauiwi (European settlers), the tipuna of Ngati Awa es­ tablished important communities all along the banks of the principal rivers of the region, including the Rangitaiki.

The ancestors of Nga Maihi, Warahoe, Ngati Hamua, Ngai Tamaoki, Ngai Taipoti, Ngati Ahi, Ngai Taiwhakaea, Te Tawera, and Ngati Pukeko had settlements over the Matahina blocks and along the Rangitaiki River including the pa at Otipa.
The rich soils and waterways of the Rangitaiki and the Matahina Val­ ley provided Ngati Awa hapu with an abundance of food (birds, ani­ mals, ﬁsh), building materials, material for clothing, and cultivation sites.

As communities became established around pa and kainga, like those of Ngati Awa along the banks of the Rangitaiki River, so too did the need for urupa (burying places).

Urupa are the resting places of Ngati Awa tipuna and, as such, are the focus of whanau traditions.
Urupa and wahi tapu are places holding the memories, traditions, vic­ tories, and defeats of Ngati Awa tipuna.

Many battles were fought between Ngati Awa and other iwi in the Matahina region and even further inland over several centuries, despite their close whakapapa 178 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Schedule 14 and kin relationships.

Ngati Awa were often successful in those con­ ﬂicts but sometimes suffered temporary defeats at the hands of other iwi and hapu.
Hostilities between Ngati Awa and other iwi continued for several decades following the arrival of the ﬁrst settlers and mis­ sionaries to the area.

Matahina A5 is an urupa site in the far north of the former Matahina block.

Once near the Rangitaiki River since the late 1960s it has been partially submerged within Lake Matahina.
As a consequence of settlement patterns, warfare, and migrations, many Ngati Awa hapu have dead buried in what became Matahina A5 including Nga Maihi, Warahoe, Ngati Hamua, Ngai Tamaoki, Ngai Taipoti, Ngati Ahi, Ngai Taiwhakaea, Te Tawera, and Ngati Pukeko.

Ngati Awa have maintained strong connections in their custodianship role over this urupa across many generations.

Matahina A5 is there­ fore an ancient and important urupa for the hapu of Ngati Awa.
According to Ngati Awa traditions, after the arrival of Europeans Te Rangitukehu restored Warahoe and Ngati Hamua to the Matahina area as an act of aroha for those hapu, including those who were and remain part of Ngati Awa.

They had previously been driven away by Te Rangitukehu and his tipuna in the inter­iwi and hapu conﬂicts of an earlier era.

It was on account of the gift from Te Rangitukehu that Ngati Awa say other iwi and hapu were permitted to re­settle in the Matahina region.
In 1881 and 1884, the Native Land Court recognised the customary interests of Ngati Awa in Matahina A5 and a nearby urupa, Matahina A4, by vesting those wahi tapu in Te Rangitukehu Hatua and Te Whaiti Paora as trustees.

Te Rangitukehu, as one of the leading rangatira of Ngati Awa at that time, undertook the principal kaiti­ aki role over Matahina A5 on behalf of the iwi in accordance with Ngati Awa custom.
During the 20th century Ngati Awa continued to maintain their custodianship over Matahina A5 without interference from other iwi and hapu.

In the 1960s, using public works legislation, the Crown took land from Ngati Awa including Matahina A5 to create the Matahina Lake and power project and Te Mahoe village.

During the construction of Matahina Dam, the Crown advised that it intended to destroy parts of Matahina A5.
The elders of Ngati Awa at the time, while expressing dismay at these proposals, acted to ensure the koiwi tangata were pro­ tected and removed them from those burial sites including Matahina 179 Schedule 14 Ngati Awa Claims Settlement Act 2005 Reprinted as at 3 September 2007 A5 that were threatened by the power project.

Even though the title of Matahina A5 was taken from Ngati Awa, the site remains a sacred urupa and wahi tapu for the iwi.
