Abstract

On 25 May 1978, after 507 days of resistance through occupation, 222 protesters were removed from Takaparawhau (also known as Bastion Point) by 800 police officers, after which the kāinga (village), marae (forum) and gardens they had established to assert Ngāti Whātua tribal rights to the site were destroyed (Taonui 2012).

Notes

  1. 1.

    The Waitangi Tribunal, established in 1975, is a permanent commission of inquiry that investigates Māori claims against the Crown related to breaches of the Treaty of Waitangi, the annexation document that the Crown signed with a number of Māori chiefs in 1840.

  2. 2.

    The first was Te Tumu Herenga Waka on Te Herenga Waka Marae, Victoria University, Wellington, carved under the instruction of Takirirangi Smith with tukutuku supervised by Con Te Rata Jones and opened in 1986.

  3. 3.

    The Ngāti Poneke Māori Club evolved from the ‘NgātiPoneke’ Māori concert party formed as a fundraising venture by a group of young Māori women who had travelled to Wellington to work on tukutuku lattice wall panels for the School of Māori Arts and Crafts’ Te Ikaroa-a-Maui wharenui project in 1936.
