Dunedin in 1855 before the land reclamation, note the Māori reserve.
This plan shows the Otago A2 Princes Street Reserve as it was in 1855, 1868 and 1870. The Reserve had been set aside, in 1853, by Walter Mantell for Ngai Tahu to use when they visited Dunedin – to land their waka and for accommodation. The plan was created from the original survey plans for Dunedin by the Otago Provincial Survey. However, the Otago Provincial Government had also claimed rights to the use of shoreline for harbour development. The plan was part of evidence before the Native Land Court hearing held at Dunedin on 1 October 1939. The Court was asked by Teoti Timoti Karetai and others to investigate the title of the Princes Street Reserve. More background on the Reserve, ownership issues and the Court case can be found in the Appendix to the Journals of the House of Representatives (AJHRs), 1945 Session I, G-06b – The Native Purposes Act, 1938 – Report and Recommendation on Petition No. 49 of 1937, of Teoti Timoti Karetai and Others, Praying for an Investigation of the Native Reserve in Princes Street, Dunedin: atojs.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/atojs?a=d&d=AJHR1945-I.2.... The Court case described the history of land ownership and made no recommendation. The issue of title was again investigated in Ngai Tahu's Treaty of Waitangi Tribunal Claim WAI–27: the report of the Waitangi Tribunal – Ngai Tahu Land Report – WAI–27, 1991 – forms.justice.govt.nz/search/Documents/WT/wt_DOC_68476209... - Sections 2.3 and 7. There is an article about Ann Parsonson, an historian, who researched the history of the Princes Street Reserve on Ngai Tahu's website: ngaitahu.iwi.nz/our_stories/sense-purpose-2/ as part of the claim settlement process. A brief history of Ngai Tahu is on Te Ara: www.teara.govt.nz/en/ngai-tahu. The water's edge was somewhere near Bond Street and State Highway 1 going north, also known as Crawford Street.

Text Appearing Before Image: ry. The traderscompanion had suggested and promoted the journey asa quasi scientific expedition, and he collected a fewskulls of the natives and some botanical specimens, but nomaps^or notes were made of the trip, and it was afterwardsaid by the Alaska Companys employes that the explorerwas an envoy of the opposition, as the old traderscalled the new company, sent to obtain informationregarding the country as a trading district. Allowing afair margin for all possible error, I think the river is fromeight hundred to nine hundred miles long, not a singleportion of which can be said to have been mapped * Thiswould probably make the Tanana, if I am right in myestimate, the longest wholly unexplored river in theworld, certainly the longest of the western continent. As we drifted by its mouth we could only form anapproximate idea of its width, which was ajoparently twoor three miles, including all channels and islands, which ♦ I have since learned that Mi*. Bates made a map and took notes Text Appearing After Image: THROUGH THE LOWER RAMPARTS. 305 may be of the nature of a delta. It seemed to be verjswift and brought down quantities of ujDrooted drift tim-ber of large dimensions as compared with that brought bythe Yukon. Looking back it resembled a suddenlyexposed inland lake on the borders of the main stream,and its swift waters so overwhelmed those of the Yukonthat a great slackening took place in the latter neartheir confluence, forming a sluggish pool into which wehelplessly drifted. All these circumstances give to theTanana the appearance of equality with the more import-ant stream. Once in its current we went skimming alongat a rapid rate that revealed the force of the new stream. At 1:40 P.M. we j^tassed an Indian village of four tentsand two birch-bark houses, containing from twenty totwenty-flve souls. Among the canoemen who visited uswas a half-breed Indian, very neatly and jauntilydressed, who spoke English quite well, and whom wehired to pilot us to the trading station at Nuklakayet,t Note About Images Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original work.
