NWO and other Taamaki Maaori not in Amiwhenua fled to Titirangi/Waitakere Ranges 1821. 1824, Te Raupura, wife of elder brother of Apihai, took a party of Te Uringutu to camp on Motutapu for a month to collect food for a feast. Her party was attacked by a taua (Te Rori? identity unknown). Two chiefs were killed, Pa-~te-rangi and Pihopiho~tahi (Piopio~tahi). A Taamaki Maaori taua was raised and attacked Te Parawhau, northland. It was decided that Tamaki Maori should retreat to Kaipara (Hotea).

AUCKLAND HISTORY - NW Mataharehare (HobsonBay) Opou (Cox’s Creek, Westmere) Maungawhau. Triangle of 3,000 original tuku acres.

Gave tuku of 3,000 acres (Hobson Bay, Cox's Creek, Maungawhau). If Hobson relocated capital here, there was a promise of an additional 8,000 acres (epsom, Pt Chev Avondale). -Land was gifted as 'tuku rangatira', as a prospect of an alliance. Hobson did not see it this way, instead promised to buy the land. NW considered the bartered goods to be 'koha', or symbols of reciprocity. Hobson can settle in Taamaki and share the bounty of land, while residing within NWO domain + explained their taonga (skills and knowledge).

https://kura.aucklandlibraries.govt.nz/digital/collection/manukau/id/4666/rec/6 -a site at Manukau South Head was occupied before the end of the thirteenth century; -gardens were being developed on the lower slopes of Wiri Mountain (Matukutururu) -one site in East Tamaki by the fourteenth century; -two or more settlements on Motutapu Island prior to the first major eruption of Rangitoto (ca 1375).

https://kura.aucklandlibraries.govt.nz/digital/collection/manukau/id/6093/rec/9 -After Tainui making landfall at Whangaparaoa, west of Cape Runaway, Hoturoa and his crew sailed along the coast to the Hauraki area. They landed briefly near Wharekawa, then continued into the Tamaki Strait, again landing at Te Whakakaiwhara, near the mouth of the Turanga estuary and Motukorea, among other places, before entering the Tamaki River. From there the Tainui was hauled overland to the Manukau Harbour. Some of the crew settled on the shores of the Tamaki and intermarried with the local people, their descendants forming the Ngai Tai tribe; others intermarried with the Nga Iwi people of the Mangere area. From the Manukau, the Tainui was sailed down the coast to Taranaki. Its voyage ended at Kawhia, where the canoe was buried.

https://kura.aucklandlibraries.govt.nz/digital/collection/manukau/id/7525/rec/10 -1400 -settlements were developed on the hills and volcanic cones of the Auckland isthmus. The first sites occupied included Maungarei (Mt Wellington) and Puketapapa (Mt Roskill).

https://kura.aucklandlibraries.govt.nz/digital/collection/manukau/id/1000/rec/11 -first evidence of gardening in the Wiri area dates from about AD 1300. From the mid-fifteenth century onwards more extensive stonefield gardens were developed by local tribes in the vicinity of Matukutururu (Wiri Mt), Matukutureia (McLaughlins Mt), Otuataua, Pukeiti, and Ihumatao or Maungataketake (Elletts Mt); also in the East Tamaki area. ]

AUCKLAND -Tāmaki Herenga Waka = whakatauki for Auckland, "resting place of many waka" -8 waka portages with the most significant at Te To Waka, the Otahuhu portage (Portage Road). -settlements were seasonal, divided into gardening and fishing circuits based on maramataka. -1820s MW: Te Kawau and with the assistance of Te Wherowhero and their Waikato relatives they returned to the central Isthmus permanently in 1835 -MW: November 1819 Ngapuhi under Patuone reach Tamaki from Kaipara, attack Waikato Tainui at Waitemata, raid gardens at Onehunga. Relatiation for recent Ngapuhi deaths at Motupatu. -1820: Onehunga “cultivations but no pa”. Apihai: being born at Ihumatao and going backwards and forwards between there, Onehunga and Orakei whilst growing up. -1821: Ngati Whatua assisted Ngati Paoa to drive off Ngapuhi attack at pa at Mauinaina (Panmure). -Ngati Whatua left on raid to the south, women remained at Mangere and Onehunga. -Nov 1821: people at kainga fleed to Waitakere to avoid Ngapuhi. Crops destroyed, beginning of decade of displacement. -brief interludes where Ngati Whatua would return (eg 1822-1824, early 1826). -1825 Ngapuhi under Hongi Hika advanced to Tamaki. -1826 June again -major return in November 1834 (fishing Manukau), began clearing gardens at Onehunga in 1835. -Ngati Te Ata also had presence at Onehunga. -late Ngati Mahuta (also Tainui) under Potatau Te Wherowhero established at Mangere-Otahuhu, after offer of land share by NW. -After treaty signing, Onehunga = port for receiving Maori goods from Manukau + Waikato to supply Auckland. (1840s-50s). -European land at Onehunga was aquired through ‘Fitzroy waivers’ (1844-5) settlers purchasing land directly from Maori (despire being a treaty breach). Also, no land was put aside for Maori. -Crown acquired land at Onehunga 723 acres, which became the basis of Onehunga township. Onehunga was developed as a 'fencible' settment. -1851, pensioners were called to confront Ngati Paoa angered at the treatment of a chief accused of theft. Ngati Paoa retreated to Okahu Bay. -1863: invasion of the Waikato. Governor George Grey required all Maori in Manukau/SA to sign an oath of allegiance to the crown and wear identifying badges. -most refused due to strong ties to Waikato. Land confiscated.

-first engineering projects in the 1840s were quarrying scoria cone hills and developing roads for horses and carts -horses still primary transportation in 1900. -Auckland steam powered (mostly coal) until 1930, when Arapuni was developed, using hydro. -industrial boom post WWII.

-first piped water=1866 from Domain springs -Western Springs pumphouse opening in 1877 dramatically improved health.

-Waihorotiu Stream/Ligar Canal and later sewer = ending in Wharf Outfall at the foot of Queen st. Continued to be a problem due to 1885 depression. -Recommended sewage be pumped to Okahu Bay and taken out with tide, opened in March 1914. -October 1947 = poliomyelitis (infantile paralysis) epidemic. Thought to be caused by bathing in contaminated water, so all bathing/swimming in inner city beaches was banned.

-first boardloads of immigrants = Oct 1842, Duchess of Argyle and Jane Gifford. -boat building industry = Freemans Bay. -first public pier in Mechanics Bay, Wynyard Pier (150m in length). Named after Lieu Colon Robert H. Wynyard, commander of NZ military forces in NZ from 1851-1858. -Next was queen st wharf, construction began in 1852. Extended to 470m by 1864. By 1871 Queen Street Wharf dilapidated and too shallow for vessels, so a new longer+wider timber wharf was constructed. -Reclamation of Commercial Bay mudflats by early 1860. -Auckland Harbour Board established in 1871 by govt, who were granted 2,000 hectares for reclamation. -1904 WH Hamer (Auckland Harbour Board engineer) planned to develop the port. Reclaiming large sections of Freemans, Commercia, Mechanics, reinforced concrete wharves which could allow train access. -1904-1924 = wharf boom. Shipping was still major in NZ due to difficulty of road construction. -1913 = Onehunga + Auckland ports placed under one controlling body, Auckland Harbour Board.

Early roads = mud tracks laid with local scoria. Military 'corduroy' roads, where muddy areas were covered with tree trunks and branches at right angles. Scoria roads were easily damaged by steel carts and horseshoes, releasing clouds of dust. -Quarries at Mt Eden, Penrose and Mt Wellington were opened to source hard rock, needed for tar sealed roads. -Early roads used Mt Eden Prison labour. -Roads central to Auckland local body development. Many road boards amalgamated with Akl City in 1930s due to depression.

1850s other parts of NZ resented Auckland, believing the economy was based on military funds from Britain. 1870 barracks and point britomart closed.

Reefton 1886 first power plant in NZ, hydro. 1882 first use of electricity in Auckland, a private home in Princes STreet, Moss Davis. Family of Ernest Davis. 1887 first electric street lighting on Queen St for Christmas. Not permanent until 1903. At this time council purchased electricity from trams company for queen st lighting. Council resisted private plans for power plant in 1890s, meaning Wlg had power much earlier. TEPID BATHS. Drew water from sea, fed into power plant for cooling, then sent to the Tepid Baths for bathing. Hobson Street Power Plant used for the Electric Trams from about 1900. After station shut down, coal-fired burner was installed for pools.

1909 Kings Wharf Power Station, powered by Huntly coal. Larger premises. Construction began 1910, commissioned Feb 1913. 1914 second gen, commissioned in 1920. 1921 Auckland Electric Power Board formed (now Vector) by act of parliament. Took over Kings Wharf. Power demand greater than station - often powercuts in 1920s. 1924 Hobson shut down, trams entirely powered by Kings Wharf. Electricity was fed through copper bars in troughts filled with pitch. Occasionally pitch cracked and water contacted the copper, resulting in explosions Winter 1925 first hydropower from Hora Hora. Originally built to supply Karangakahe gourge gold crushing battery. Arapuni hydro available from 2 June 1929 in akl. Two years later the station was closed for repairs for 18 months - leaks in headrace canal, concerns that entire dam might collapse into Waikato river. Pre-Arapuni = city covered in smog, smoke and steam, especially from Kings Wharf, chimneys and gas works. Auckland's reliance on hydro caused freq power cuts between 1930 and mid-1960s during dry years, and because the rate of demand kept increasing. Scheduled blackouts in evenings were common. Shortages stopped after 600MW DC cable from south island hydro plants. 1998 power failure in Auckland CBD. Old 100KV gas-filled cable between Penrose and Quay failed during summer. Knock-on effect on other oil-filled cables - both also failing shortyl after. -businesses either relocated or used diesel generators, including Grafton Gully generators on a vacant plot. Vector hired a ship gas-turbine driven and hooked it up to 6.6kV system.

DILWORTH BUILDING designed by Gummer and Ford, built by Fletcher. Use of electric cranes (not hydraulic or steam) meant construction was rapid.

105 Queen St NZ Guardian Trust Building = 1918. 8 storeys, highest building allowed in Auckland until 1960s.

Dingwall Building 87 Queen St, Gummer and Ford. Structural engineer John J. Booth. First tall building in AKL post Napier earthquake changed building standards.

Auckland Town Hall opened in 1911. Refurbished mid 1990s, earthquake strengthening. Difficulties as strengthening could not pass through the2,000 organ pipes.

P98 Land sales needed fixed boundaries. traditional Maori land rights were based on ancestry intermarriage and had fluidity. Individuals from tribes sold land without consulting others who had a vested interest. NW rangatira ATK sold hand at Mangere bordering the O-ruarangi Creek. NT chief Te Kauae argued land was not for sale, Putini and Ihaka Takanini also claimed interest. P106 1863, Grey ordered eviction of Manukau area kainga. Everyone must leave for Waikato or swear oath to Queen and give up arms. Most felt they had no choice. P124 European knowledge of the Maori place names of auckland was almost nothing by the 1870s. P164 Late 19th C Chan Ah Chee, an early market gardener based at the southern part of the Auckland domain, exported large amounts of naitve NZ Cloud ear fungus to China and HK. By 1899 exporting toheroa from firth of Thames to China and San Francisco. P168-9 Tensions betwee European and Chinese settlers meant Chinese regularly assaulted, gardens robbed and vanalised. Racially motivated assaults common in 1880s and 1890s. Chinese residents arrested for playing fan-tan, smoking opium, fined for working Sundays. P173 Governor Grey saw Chinese farmers gardening on govt domain land as a threat to European identity. P177 early 20th C Maori seen as relics of the past, rather than people living in their ancestral lands.

P226 Name Tamaki is used in narratives that date back to the 1600s at least. Some narratives relate it to Mai, others to a woman of hisk rank named Ta-maki Makaurau.

brick was not an early building material in Auckland, due to the kauri of the Waitakere Ranges, Waiheke Island and North Shore. Brickworks at Freemans Bay, however as land was needed moved out from ceentral city to Grey Lynn, Ponsonby. North Shore an the Whau River. Brickbecame became more common by late 1850s.

Trams

Trans replaced horse-drawn trams that had run since 1884.

17 November 1902 John Logan Campbell drove the first tram up Queen Street.

Power came from purpose-built station at the northern end of Hobson Street. Initial service had 48 trams This grew rapidly One of the first routes was to Onehunga Eventually 269 trams. Initial trams were built by the Auckland Electric Tram Company, using imported components. by the 1920s around 700 men were employed by the teams. During WWII, women fwere first employed for the tram system. In 1919 trams were sold to Auckland City Council, who formed the Auckland Transport Board in tn 1929. In early 1940s 99 million passengers were carried every year. During the depression, the system became worn out. After WWII, trams were gradually replaced with trolley buses. The last tram ran in 1956. Some tram systems today MOTAT.

Mangere------

-Farming community until the latter 20th century. - Early local government was established in Māngere in 1859, with a local board of highway governors, followed by the Māngere Highway Board in 1862. In 1912 the highway board was incorporated into a new Manukau County Council. I

-1950s Andrew Fistonich began growing grapes at his Māngere market garden, earning a winemakers licence in 1949.

Māori migration canoes

-people left Hawaiki because of a long famine caused by a lengthy war between the chiefs Heta and Uenuku.

Moekaraka = two generations before Te Arawa / Tainui

Ranginui Walker argues some waka were built in Northland and migrated to other parts of the islands, due to mentions of totara and pounamu in traditional histories of Arawa, Takitimu and Tainui waka. Aotea stocked in Hawaiki with pukeko, karaka and kiore.

-S. Percy Smith collated a range of tribal traditions into the Great Fleet narrative. -Many years this was considered authoritative. -Current best evidence is for 1350s onwards.

(aka Hoturoa, or possibly Hotunui is Hoturoa's brother) -Te Arawa tradition that the harbour was named "Maanuka" that is "implanted post" by the ancestor Ihenga, who claimed the waters by planting a stake; although without making it clear why this tradition is given precedence.

New Zealand history

86 Maori fast learners of written language, it spread faster than missionaries. Due to missionary teachings banning polygamy and slavery, mana of chiefs diminished. 186 Until 1926, most maori were in rural communities. These communities thrived, little contact to pakeha world.

WWII 1930s 90% of Maori lived rurally. The Manpower Act directed young maori ineligible for military towards working in factories. Young women were factories or farm girls. 1942 Maori War Effort Organisation, under Lieutenant Colonel Hemphill, mobilised rural iwi to create food/raise funds for war effort.

Ngāti Pāoa

-descend from the ancestor Pāoa, who migrated from Ngāruawāhia on the Waikato River to Hauraki (Coromandel). -There he married Tukutuku, a descendant of Marutūahu. -Rautao and Kapetaua of Ngāti Pāoa, conquered much of Tāmaki (Auckland) in separate battles. -fought a number of campaigns against Ngāti Whātua and Te Wai-o-Hua of Tāmaki at Mahurangi and the Whau and Tāmaki rivers. -priot to Europeans, rohe was Thames estuary, the Hūnua Ranges, east Tāmaki, Waiheke Island and the coast northward to Whangaparāoa.

-mid 1750s, established on Waiheke, western Firth of Thames, eastern shore of Tamaki Estuary. -In 1780s, Te Taou gifted some land to NP on the Western shore of the Tamaki River. -Te Tahuri, chieftainess of TT/WoH descent, gifted Tauma to the Ngati Hura hapi of Ngati Paoa. Arrangement between Tahuri and Kehu, husband of Te Putu of NH. -Within a generation, NP population almost outnumbered NW on the isthmus. -during a shark fishign expedition near Saddle Island, NW caught a shark which they called Te Haupo, after a Ngati Paoa chief. Considered the worst of insults. -Fought. Tarahawaiki (son of Tūperiri, father of Apihai Te Kawau) died. Began a cycle of revenge attacks. -1792, NP and Hauraki allies clashed with NW at Puponga (northern Manukau) + Rangimatarau (near pt chev). Both times NP was defeated. -1793, NW asked Waikato allies (inc TAW) to help attack NP at Maraetai and Waiheke. -After a final battle at Orohe (Churchill Park), NW victorious and peacemaking began. -1793, Ngapuhi attacked NP, revenge for past raids. NP taua defeated at Takapuna, but Ngapuhi defeated at Tamaki river mouth. -In retaliation, NP+Ngati Maru attacked Waitangi. -peace began in 1790s until 1810s.

Ngāi Tai

-descend from the Tainui ancestors Taihaua, Taikehu and Te Kete-ana-taua, who settled in Tāmaki when the Tainui canoe passed across the isthmus on its way to Kāwhia Harbour. -three sisters, Raukohekohe, Motuitawhiti and Te Kawenga, led several hundred people in a migration called Te Heke-o-Ngā-Tokotoru (the migration of the three) from Tōrere Bay to Tāmaki. Here, Raukohekohe and Motuitawhiti both married both Te Wai-o-Hua and Ngāi Tai chief Te Whatatau.

Ngäi Tai were the first people to live on the Whakakaiwhara Peninsula. Duder Regional Park

-Tainui waka sheltered from a storm Whakakaiwhara Peninsula. Went ashore, ate from the forest. The name refers to this: whaka kai(eat) whara (=kiekie bract). --Te Tauranga ō Tainui, far east of the park, named for this. --a crew member called Tāne Whakatia planted a karaka berry on the point of the Peninsula. --grew into ‘Huna ä Täne’ or the ‘Tree of Täne’. The tree no longer exists, but is responsible for the karaka trees on the peninsula. -After this travelled up Tamaki River, crossed to Manukau Harbour, eventually settling in Kawhia. --However, some members of the waka decided to settle in the area (the Wairoa River+Whakakaiwhara Peninsula), becoming the Ngäi Tai.

Until the 1600s, known as Ngäti Tai. Adopted the name Ngäi Tai. Due to ‘Te Hekenga ö ngä Tuatoru’ (the migration of the three), where three Bay of Plenty Ngäi Tai fled the BOP to escape conflict. When the rangatira Te Whatatau travelled to the Coromandel to meet them, his wife shamed him. Te Whatatau decided to marry Te Raukohekohe and Motukitawhiti, two of the sisters, and cemented the union by renaming the iwi Ngäi Tai. Te Whatatau and Te Raukohekohe's son Te Wana became the rangatira, and was a famed warrior. 1600s= Whakakaiwhara Pä and Te Oue Pä were the main homes of Ngäi Tai rangatira and focal points of Ngai Tai. Ngai Tai Häpu moved around their rohe in Maraetai/Clevedon seasonally harvesting, fishing, etc. 1820s rangatira = Tara Te Irirangi, who lived at Umupuia. 1850s Hori Te Whëtuki, "Long George". at Umupuia.

During musket wars, most Ngai Tai fled to Waikato, however some remained for ahi kaa. Te Irirangi’s daughter, Ngeungeu (Figure 4), was one of many women and children taken up to the Bay of Islands by Ngä Puhi. There, she married Thomas Maxwell (Tame Kohe), a crew member of a whaling ship. Later, they moved to Tämaki but after Thomas drowned in 1842, Ngeungeu and her children returned home to Umupuia. They and their many descendants have played a prominent part in the affairs of Ngäi Tai over successive generations. -sharks split and dried at Whakakaiwhara Pä, a tradition that continued until about 1940.

AKL history = missionaries in 1835/6 attempted to promote peace in the region, organised meetings between rangatira of different iwi. -Ngai Tai sold land to William Fairburn along the disputed border, who agreed to keep it as a neutral area. The land could still be used by Maori. -Fairburn promised the return in 1837. Fairburn establishes a mission at Maraetai. -Most Ngai Tai converted to Christianity after this, attended mission school.

European settlers arrived in Maraetai - Wairoa area in 1852. -reliant on Maori for crops and labour. Flats inland from peninsula became orchards of peaches, apples, pears and quinces

In 1854, the New Zealand government created a 6,063 acre native reserve for Ngāi Tai, including the Whakakaiwhara Peninsula. As a part of this arrangement, Ngāi Tai agreed not to settle elsewhere in the region, which meant Ngāi Tai's tradition of settling in areas seasonally could not be continued. During the Invasion of the Waikato in the 1860s, rangatira Hori Te Whētuki kept a neutral position between the colonial government and the Kīngitanga Movement, however due to the shared Tainui connection between Ngāi Tai and the Kīngitanga Movement, many Ngāi Tai fought for the Kīngitanga. In the aftermath of the invasion, much of Ngāi Tai's rohe was confiscated, however the Whakakaiwhara Peninsula remained in Ngāi Tai possession.

These 3 acres were taken under the e Public Works Act, and the community was relocated to state rental units near Takaparawhau Park. Te Puru o Tamaki wharenui destroyed. NWO only left with quarter acre cemetery -1977 Bastion Point. Govt's plan of 1976 to develop Takaparawhau Park. -Govt returned 10 hectares of land, including where rental properties were.

Tainui waka

-Tainui waka sheltered from a storm Whakakaiwhara Peninsula. Went ashore, ate from the forest. The name refers to this: whaka kai(eat) whara (=kiekie bract). --Te Tauranga ō Tainui, far east of the park, named for this. --a crew member called Tāne Whakatia planted a karaka berry on the point of the Peninsula. --grew into ‘Huna ä Täne’ or the ‘Tree of Täne’. The tree no longer exists, but is responsible for the karaka trees on the peninsula. -After this travelled up Tamaki River, crossed to Manukau Harbour, eventually settling in Kawhia. --However, some members of the waka decided to settle in the area (the Wairoa River+Whakakaiwhara Peninsula), becoming the Ngäi Tai.

Te Kawerau-a-Maki

-descend from the Tainui, Te Wakatūwhenua and Te Moekākara canoes. -Tiriwa credited with uplifting Rangitoto volcano from Karekare beach and carrying it to its present location in the Hauraki Gulf. -trace their descent from the Tainui priest Rakataura, or Hape. -Te Kawerau-a-Maki’s ancestor Maki, who migrated from the Tainui and Taranaki regions, took control of much of the land between Tāmaki and the Kaipara. -Maki's son Te Kawerau-a-Maki namesake of tribe. Named over dispute between NW and Maki over kumara plantations (te kawerau = straps of a kumara bag). -Maki’s great-grandson, Te Auotewhenua, went on to control the land between Muriwai and Manukau Harbour.

15-17 -origins in several groups: turehu, Nga Oho, Tainui and Ngai Titahi, a hapu of Ngati Awa. Turehu = original inhabitants of the area. Nga Oho = first polynesian inhabitants. Tainui = Rakataura + co. Ngati Awa - Maki, who immigrated from Kawhia northwards. Maki settled at Waiuku, then Rarotonga (mt smart). Maki conquered tamaki isthmus, up to Kaipara harbour, east to Aotea (GBI). Ngaoho people conquered and intermarried into Maki's people. Name came from an event involving Maki during conquest of Kaipara.

17 Early 1700s NW migrated south. Kaerau people pushed south. NW took revenge for unacceptable killings, attacking the Waitakere Ranges settlements of TKaM. Peace through intermarriage was established. A line from Te Taupaki south of Muriwai to Rangitopuni/Riverhead. Important marriages with Waiohua (Manukau Harbour/Auckland isthmus). TAiTW child = Kowhatukiteuru, at Karekare. Called pa Te Kaka Whakaara (kaka parrot standing seltinel). Kainga was known as Te Marae o Mana, after Manaairangi, son of Kowhatukiteuru. 22 Kowhatukiteuru = mid 1700s.

23 Musket Wars. Battle at Te Henga was known as Rangitapiriri. Hongi Hika along coastline, while Te Kahakaha (Ngati Tautahi hapu of NPhi) - inland taua, travelling south from Kaipara heads.

25 Under Te Ngerengere, moved from Kakamatua to Te Henga, built musket pa 'Parawai'. Most settled here. a small group settled at Piha under Heketarere and son-in-law Te Tuiau. Established kainga at Wekatahi inland of Waitetura (North Piha).

- traces their lineage back to the earliest inhabitants of the Manukau and Waitakere, and are considered one of the -ancestor, the Tūrehu chieftain Tiriwa, lived in Waitekeres+West Auckland. (traditional name:Te Wao-nui-a-Tiriwa, the great forest of Tiriwa) -Tainui waka arrived later in the 1300s -Parau/laingholm/Waima area = important link between Waitakere Ranges and Manukau Harbour. Many pa, kainga. -tuna (eel), kōura (crayfish), pipi, tipa (scallops), and tuangi (cockles). -Te Kawerau-a-Maki were neutral during the conflict between NW and WoH, offering shelter to refugees. -Te Kawerau-a-Maki were invaded by Ngapuhi in 1825. Most TKaM fled to the Waikato, however a few remained to ensure ahi kā (maintaining occupation) -Most returned in 1836, first at Kakamatua, followed by a musket pa at Te Henga. -1830s/40s = widespead disease.

-Maki conquered the area in the 1600s. Migrated to Auckland from the northern Taranaki-Kawhia area. Maki (as Tainui, Ngaiwi, Ngaoho) felt this was his ancestral home. -Te Kawerau a Maki name comes from an incident which occurred while Maki was visiting the southern Kaipara -One of the names of Maki's only son born in Kaipara, Tawhiakiterangi -Hikurangi (West Auckland), to Te Whenua roa o Kahu (the North Shore), Whangaparaoa, Mahurangi, Matakanakana, Pakiri, southern Kaipara, and the gulf islands of Aotea (Great Barrier Island), Hauturu o Toi (Little Barrier Island) and Tiritiri Matangi, forming the Te Kawerau confederation. -By the early 1700s the traditional rohe was thus from Okaka (South Head, Kaipara) to Paratutai (North Head, Manukau) in the west; and from Te Arai o Tahuhu (Te Arai Point) in the northeast to Takapuna in the southeast as well as the gulf islands. The heartland of Te Kawerau a Maki was and remains Hikurangi (WA).

-In the 1800s, loggers transported wood from the Waitakeres on the Whatipu Wharf, to Onehunga. -Tram line from Piha to Karekare. -the 1850s and 1860s the ranges were subdivided, sold to farmers. -decline in logging meant AC bought properties in the early 1900s, for water supply. -Following this, land was returned to native bush.

-Maki was Ngāti Awa?? from Kaipara? -around 1700, Kāwharu of Ngati Whatua attacked TKaM, sacking pa at Muriwai, Te Henga, Anawhata, Piha, Karekare and Whatipu -RC date for many sites is for 1500s/1600s. -influenza epidemics of 1790 and 1810.

P10 By the 1990s, TWaM people mostly lived at Orakei marae area and Ihumatao. P12 TwaM existed as a tribal identity since the 1600s. Maki intermarried with peoples who already lived here. Earliest ancestor is Tiriwa, a Turehu. 'Tini o Maruiwi', who migrated north from Taranaki, under Panuku conquered the Turehu. P13 Kawerau people early name = 'Kawerau moko torea', due to their distinctive tattooing style. Rakataura is an ancestor to TKaM Mid-14th C, Ngati Awa group migrated south to Waitakere Ranges from Northland. ;Ngai Titahi;, left behind many pa building techniques before going south to Taranaki. Wooden palisades without defensive ditches, retaining walls. Early 1600s, Maki of Ngati Awa (Te Ati Awa), who had settled at Kawhia, migrated north.

Maki's people intermarried with Nga Oho. P13-14 Name = refers to an incident that happened when Maki conquered Kaipara.

Other Kawerau iwi = Ngati Manuhiri and Ngati Te Kahupara. Over time these iwi adopted their own sub-tribal names.

P14 Maki's grandson Te Au o Te Whenua controlled all land from Muriwai to Manukau Harbour. One of his homes was Puketotara (Wairere Stream Valley). Also known as Te Hawiti. Got the name Te Au o Te Whenua (the current of the land) from fixing the boundary between NW and TKaM. TKaM descendents many, but by the 18th C had merged with other tribal groups. Only two remaining sections used the name TK name: Waitakere and Mahurangi. During early 1700s NW migrated into the south Kaipara area. TKaM people pushed south. This was known as "Te Rapatu Tihore", the conquest that laid bare. After NW conquered Tamaki isthmus in 1740s, TKaM were left as they had important marriages. Kawerau rangatira Te Hawiti refused to let Ngati Whatua rangatira Poutapuaka to claim land south of this point.

P15 Century of peace. 1790s = Rewharewha, european-introduced disease decimated TKaM. 1820 met Samuel Marsden when he visited Oneonenui in Muriwai. Mid-1820s=Ngapuhi, musket wars.

TKaM retained 1860 acre 'Native Rserve'at Piha + 2918 Waitakere Native Reserve between Anawhata and Titikohua. The land north to Motutara

P16 Parawai until 1860s. Then, no longer fearing musket attacks, kainga Waiti (-36.883689750260615, 174.45341452578674). Junction of Waiti stream and Waitakere River. Mid-1880s, land leased then sold to European purchasers. Now 50 people. Continued to harvest Waitak Ranges, maaara. Sacred places were being destroyed by timber workers and visitors. Disillusioned and isolated. Saw what land wars did to Waiohua peoples. Under Te Waatarauihi Tawhia and Te Utika Te Aroha, became adherents to Pai Marire faith of the kingitanga movement. And by influence of Te Rongonui of Te Akitai. 1912 Te Utika Te Aroha died. After this moved from Waiti. Intermittently living at Te Henga, but by 1960s most land had been sold.

P23 TKaM traditionally seasonally migrated across rohe.

Kumara grown in warm sheltered valleys of west coast streams by TKaM well known and sought after, cause of wars. TKaM grew kumara, taro, hue, aruhe. Abundant seafood on west coast, Waitakere ranges source of birds, berries, eel, crayfish.

A Ngaoho people. Descended from Moekākāra and Tainui canoes and Turehu. TKaM as an identity stems from the arrival of Maki Maki 1600s. 300 hapu moved north from Kawhia to the lands of his Ngāoho and Ngāiwi relatives. Te Waewaekotuku= event where Maki conqhered Auckland region. Named it ‘Tā-Maki’ and also as ‘Te Ipu Kura ā Maki’. Battles at Huia and Piha secured Hikurangi. Maraeariki = third son.

This child was named Tawhiakiterangi, although he became known as Te Kawerau a Maki as a reminder of the deed that led to his father taking control of the district. -Maki and his people knew themselves as the Ngaiwi hapu of Ngaāti Awa, but others came to refer to them collectively from this time as Te Kawerau, and to Tawhiakiterangi’s descendants as Te Kawerau a Maki.

-descendents of Maki's identities merged with other groups. Waitakere and Mahurangi retained the specific name Te Kawerau a Maki. -early 1700s NW migrated southlards.

-late TKaM pa included Koropotiki Pa, constructed on Te Aute ridge -Maki's great grandson Te Au o Te Whenua came to control all the lands between Muriwai and the Manukau Harbour. One of his main homes was at Puketotara, the impressive pa in the Wairere Stream Valley. It was from this occupation of the area by Te Au o Te Whenua that the Kawerau people claimed and were awarded Certificate of Title to the Waitakere and Puketotara Blocks in the Native Land Court hearings of the 1860s.

-after 6 months at Kakamatua, returned to Te Henga where they built a musket pā at Parawai -Reverend James Buller in 1844 who visited the Te Kawerau a Maki settlement at Parawai. He also visited the Te Kawerau settlement of Wekatahi at Piha in December 1845 where he baptized and converted the two leading Kawerau rangatira, Tawhia kiterangi and Te Tuiau to Christianity.

Trams

-Auckland Electric Tramway Co. Ltd. = one of the first in the world to use electricity to power trams.

-trams were thought likely to extend along Tamaki Drive, meaning sewage tanks at okahu bay )now Kelly Tarlton's) were built to be strong enough to sustain tram traffic.

-first use of asphalt was Queen Street in 1902 for the tramway.

-1886-7 brief tramway between Devonport and Cheltenham. -prior to trams horse drawn carriages were standard. -Tramways Act 1872 = municipal authorities gave licenses to tramway operators. Auckland first tramways in 1874, between Queen St, K'rd, and Ponsonby Road. Much smoother than horse drawn carriages. Built and operated by City of Auckland Tramways and Suburban Land Company Limited. -Subdivision of land led to increased need for PT and tramway services. -1886-7 brief tramway between Devonport and Cheltenham. -Dunedin = first city in NZ for electric trams. Roslyn Tramway Company Limited opening in Oct 1900. -British Electric Traction Company purchased City of Auckland Tramways and Suburban Land Company, renamed it the Auckland Electric Tramway Company )AETC). Built electric tramway, 'standard' gauge of 4 feet 8 1/2 inches, power supplied by overhead wires. -Opened 17 Nov 1902 by Alfred Kidd and Sir John Logan Campbell. -Initial tram routes = Herne Bay, Ponsonby, Grey Lynn, Kingsland, Newmarket, Onehunga. Over 30 years, expanded to Westmere, Pt Chev, Avondale, Owairaka, Mt Roskill, Three Kings, harp of Erin. -initial service = 43 trams imported from England. More imported in 1905+7, however as demand was so great AETC designed and built own teams. Eventually fleet was 269 trams. -1919 bought by Auckland Council, renamed Auckland City Corporation Tramways, 1929 reformed as Auckland Transport Board. -At peak in 1940s carried 99mill passengers, when Auckland population was 182,000. -Due to depression, tramway was worn out. Rotues converted to trolleybuses by 1949 despite protests. -Final service was Auckland to Onehunga on 29 December 1956. -Many trams survive at MOTAT, some in private collections.

-Light rail considered for bridge in 1950s but rejected due to cost. In 1990s MWD was asked to see if light rail could be placed on clip-ons. Shown to be feasible if it was sole use for light rail.

-In 1920s and 30s suburbanisation happened along tram line stops.

The new car-centric model for the isthmus and greater Auckland led to the removal of the Auckland tram lines, which were replaced with trolleybuses, ultimately and ultimately by bus routes.

Trains

-second railways in country (after Nelson in 1858) was east of Drury/Opaheke, due to coal mine. --Coal first had to be shipped to Manukau Harbour, then to Onehunga, then by drays to Auckland. -Drury coal mine hoped to ease reliance on New South Wales. -Railway became strategic importance due to Invasion of the Waikato in July 1863. -Auckland Provincial Council passed act allowing 100,000 pound railways from Auckland to Drury with branch line at Onehunga. -A number of possible routes between city and Newmarket. Engineer William Weaver recommended beginning on beach at Customs Street, through Mechanics Bay, tunnel under Parnell Ridge. -Tenders began 20 Sep 1865. First work between Parnell to Newmarkeet = March 1865. -Second: Newmarket to GSR/Panmure Rd Junction. -Tenders included to Panmure and Onehunga, but the full route to Drury was incomplete. It was later obvious that much more money would be required for this. -Work was delayed due to inferior brickwork for Parnell tunnel, need for rock excavation south of Newmarket. Lack of proper planning eg boring and surveying before railways were tendered also a factor in these delays. -Because of issues, after 1866 provincial coincil took over project from railways commission, stopped work. -Auckland to Drury Railway Act 1867 passed, which authorised disposal of salvageable plant. -Locals felt the railway was poor. Called the Railway to Nowhere, ridiculed for lack of proper planning and tendering of contracts. -Parnell Railway Bridge part of original contract, built between 1865 and 1866. Seen as a costly wwhite elephant when work stopped in 1866. Work resumed in early 1870s with the government public works policies. Immigration and Public Works Act 1870 and Railways Act 1870. -Bridge had too steep gradient, the track used the Auckland Provincial standard (4 feet 8 1.2 unches), unlike govt's standard 3 feet 6 inches. -Bridge remained part of the main trunk until Auckland to Westfield deviation in 1930. -3ft6in gage was chosen in Railways Act due to a recommendation by a consultant who described advantages of this in Canada and Norway. -first section opened was Onehunga line in Dec 1873. -Oct 1874 = south to Drury. -20 May 1875 Mercer was reached. -Ngaruawahia (Newcastle) rail bridge opened 17 nov 1876 -Reached Hamilton 19 Dec 1877. -Pirongia = considered for rail route in the 1870s, however a route through the Rukuhia swamp was preferred. --A railway directive was that no trains were allowed to idle in the swamp. -1 Jul 1880 = Te Awamutu. Final stop for the main trunk going south for many years. Main tunk line completed in 1908. -Earthworks began on a railway between Pokeno and Paeroa in the early 20th century, however these were never completed. -29 Oct 1875 rail opened from Riverhead to Helensville. Then in pieces the western line constructed, meeting at Newmarket. Once completed, the line between Kumeu and Riverhead was closed. -In mid 1880s a route between Britomart Station at Queen st and Kingsland via Freemans Bay was surveyed -rail between Auckland and Penrose duplicated between 1905-1910. -1909 Parnell tunnel was duplicated and railway bridge was enlarged. -rail traffic in akl doubled between 1890 and 1900, doubled again between 1900 and 1910. -main trunk to wlg opened in 1908. EASTERN -Even though main trunk 1908 to wlg, Parnell rise gradient limited the amount of goods, so a flat route through Hobson Bay and Panmure was planned. -Post WWII railways began to lose money. -In 1940s and 1950s midtown was becoming much more fashionable than lower queen st. -Rail patronage first increased with the purchase of 19 diesel trains from Perth (which had electrified services in 1993). Even though units were 5-10 years old, they were cleaner and more comfortable, leading patronage to almost double between 1993 and 1996.
