A poem for Whina Cooper – Ngāpuhi Dame Whina Cooper inspired the famous 1975 march through the Ngāpuhi area to Wellington, to protest against the loss of the tribe’s lands. Hone Tuwhare’s poem (below) captures Whina’s spirit and the respect that New Zealanders have for ‘Whāea Whina’. She was also a devout Catholic – hence Tuwhare’s references to Saint Christopher, patron saint of travellers. Rain-maker’s song for Whina I’ll not forget your joints creaking as you climbed into the bus at Victoria Park to bless the journey. Saint Christopher in the rain at night, just before Mangamuka Gorge. A couple of days later in bright sunshine, we hit the road leaving Te Hapua behind. No more lollies ! Think of that. So you listen, now. E, kui !

Ti Titirti O Waitangi - Interactive site A brief history of the Treaty of Waitangi A brief history of breaches of the Treaty of Waitangi Within 44 years, 18 million acres of New Zealand land passed from the purview of one group of people into the hands of scores of others. Some of the new owners were not in the country yet. Eighteen million acres represents more than a quarter of the entire land mass of New Zealand. Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei transferred the future Auckland city to the Crown for the equivalent of about $70,000 in today’s currency. At the top of the South Island, no one asked Ngāti Apa before the Crown bought the entire area. New Zealand’s current housing crisis demonstrates what can go wrong for people without a place to call home. The land alienation that happened at the beginning of this country’s modern existence was much, much worse. For instance, Nelson’s Ngāti Kuia was pressured to give up its land. The confronting truth of what happened in our recent past is something New Zealanders have to reckon with. notes
Mark Pirie - Strange Brew: A Personal Reflection on the Poetry of Hone Tuwhare - ka mate ka ora - nzepc In the early 1990s, when I was first starting out as a poet, the New Zealand poets I most admired were usually the ones who were not only exciting on the page but were also larger than life characters in performance and in the flesh. My reading list at the time included James K. Baxter, Denis Glover, Sam Hunt, Alistair Te Ariki Campbell, A.R.D. Fairburn, Louis Johnson and Hone Tuwhare (the latter I discovered in 1994 through Bill Manhire’s undergraduate New Zealand literature course at Victoria University). Looking back on that time in my early development as a writer I can now see that Tuwhare (like the others mentioned above) had a marked influence on my choice of diction and expression, as he did with a number of other younger New Zealand poets of the 90s, such as Robert Sullivan, Simon Williamson and Glenn Colquhoun. After that course had finished, I posted a poem I had just written in a letter to Bill Manhire, showing my use of Tuwhare’s expressions. The river’s pushy, ‘Back off!

NZResearch.org.nz White ribbon-magazine of the New Zealand Women’s Christian Temperance Movement White Ribbon: for God, Home, and Humanity was the magazine of the New Zealand Women’s Christian Temperance Movement (NZWCTU). The NZWCTU started in 1885, following the American movement that began in the United States in late 1873 and 1874. Alcohol was seen to be the cause of a number of social problems, such as poverty and violence, which impacted particularly on women. Leavitt travelled throughout the country giving public lectures. However, the WCTU’s remit, both overseas and in New Zealand, was wider than just temperance. It became obvious that the WCTU and women in general would have more ability to change society if they were able to vote. One of the ways Sheppard promoted her message about suffrage was through the page she contributed to the Prohibitionist, published by the Sydenham Prohibition League, from 1891. The first issue of White Ribbon came out in May 1895. Māori women also joined the NZWCTU, concerned about the impact of alcohol on their communities.
