Download or read book The Old Frontier written by James Cowan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Old Frontier: Te Awamutu; The Story of the Waipa Valley; The Missionary, the Soldier, the Pioneer Farmer, Early Colonization, the War in Waikato, Life on the Maori Border and Later-Day Settlement This sketch of the history of the Waipa district centreing in Te Awamutu has been written especially with a view to interesting the younger generation of colonists, and the now large population on both sides of the old Maori border, in the uncommonly dramatic story of the beautiful country in which their homes are set. The original settlers to whom many of the events here described were matters of personal knowledge are fast passing away, and a gene ration has arisen which has but a vague idea of the local history and of the old heroic life on the Waipa plains. The book is designed to convey accurate pictures of this pioneer life and the successive eras of the missionary and the soldier, and to invest with a new interest for many the familiar home landscapes. Much of the information given herein is published for the first time, and therefore should be of special value to students of New Zealand history. For the story of missionary enterprise the writer has drawn on a ms. Journal written by the Rev. John Morgan, the first civiliser of the Waipa country; for the military history use has been made of an exceedingly readable ms. Narrative left by the celebrated Major Von Tempsky, of the Forest Rangers. For the rest, it has been a peculiar pleasure to the writer, as one bred on the old Ankati border, to recall scenes in a phase of life which has passed away for ever.

This book was released on 2013-09 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1907 edition. Excerpt: ... and when the dreadful Ngapuhi some years before invaded his country, they were soon glad to get away again; for, instead of rushing to a pa for protection, he took to the bush, and when they followed him, fell upon them at night time while they slept. At length, finding themselves engaged in a desperate guerilla warfare from which nothing could be gained, the Ngapuhis retired from the harassing strife. And now, although he had repelled this invasion, Tautari did not consider the insult wiped out. Therefore, he betook himself to his own country, to equip a fleet; and, mustering a strong taua, put to sea, where we will for the present leave him pursuing his voyage. The war now raged with the utmost ferocity. From Tauranga looking southward, the fires of Ngatiwhakaue's war parties were constantly visible, especially at the edge of the forest; and when night came, the whole of the intervening open country was prowled over by bloodthirsty cannibals, seeking somebody to devour. The missionaries' families never slept in their houses; and by sunset every Tauranga native was within the fortifications of Otumoetai or Maungatapu. Murdering parties were also sent out from Eotorua towards Matamata, by way of Patatere; and the missionaries, the Eev. Mr. Brown and Mr. Morgan, had already retired from the Matamata station. The former gentleman, with his family, removed to Waimate, at the Bay of Islands; and the latter to Mangapouri, in Upper Waikato. Some time after they left, one of their empty houses was burnt down by a taua, but the other remained. When times, however, became less boisterous, the important Matamata station was not reoccupied; was not this a pity? By the middle of May, 1836, matters had come to such a pass at Tauranga, that Mr. Wade, ..

Book Decolonising Blue Spaces in the Anthropocene

Download or read book Decolonising Blue Spaces in the Anthropocene written by Meg Parsons and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book crosses disciplinary boundaries to connect theories of environmental justice with Indigenous people's experiences of freshwater management and governance. It traces the history of one freshwater crisis - the degradation of Aotearoa New Zealand's Waipā River- to the settler-colonial acts of ecological dispossession resulting in intergenerational injustices for Indigenous Māori iwi (tribes). The authors draw on a rich empirical base to document the negative consequences of imposing Western knowledge, worldviews, laws, governance and management approaches onto Māori and their ancestral landscapes and waterscapes. Importantly, this book demonstrates how degraded freshwater systems can and are being addressed by Māori seeking to reassert their knowledge, authority, and practices of kaitiakitanga (environmental guardianship). Co-governance and co-management agreements between iwi and the New Zealand Government, over the Waipā River, highlight how Māori are envisioning and enacting more sustainable freshwater management and governance, thus seeking to achieve Indigenous environmental justice (IEJ). The book provides an accessible way for readers coming from a diversity of different backgrounds, be they academics, students, practitioners or decision-makers, to develop an understanding of IEJ and its applicability to freshwater management and governance in the context of changing socio-economic, political, and environmental conditions that characterise the Anthropocene. Meg Parsons is senior lecturer at the University of Auckland, New Zealand who specialises in historical geography and Indigenous peoples' experiences of environmental changes. Of Indigenous and non-Indigenous heritage (Ngāpuhi, Pākehā, Lebanese), Parsons is a contributing author to IPCC's Sixth Assessment of Working Group II report and the author of 34 publications. Karen Fisher (Ngāti Maniapoto, Waikato-Tainui, Pākehā) is an associate professor in the School Environment, University of Auckland, New Zealand. Aotearoa New Zealand. She is a human geographer with research interests in environmental governance and the politics of resource use in freshwater and marine environments. Roa Petra Crease (Ngāti Maniapoto, Filipino, Pākehā) is an early career researcher who employs theorising from feminist political ecology to examine climate change adaptation for Indigenous and marginalised peoples. Recent publications explore the intersections of gender justice and climate justice in the Philippines, and mātuaranga Māori (knowledge) of flooding.--
