�3 Rawene Community Plan August 2017

The purpose of the plan is to provide a guide for Rawene as we set about “future-proofing” our community without letting go of the past and the present.

The Plan envisages a caring, sharing, co-operative community that values sustainability and living in harmony with the natural environment. It sets out the “guiding principles” for future development of Rawene, with an emphasis on Goals and Process (“Key Actions”) as well as specific activities, events and projects.

… Rawene does not exist in isolation from the rest of Hokianga. A number of hapū are acknowledged as having historical and contemporary links and shared mana in the Rawene area. The principal hapū are:

Te Māhurehure (Waima); Ngāti Hau, Ngāti Kaharau (Omanaia); Ngāti Here, Ngai Tūputo (Motukaraka); Te Hikutu (Whirinaki); Te Popoto (Utakura).

Rawene is the base for Hokianga Hospital, the NorthTec tertiary education learning centre, fire brigade, ambulance, police. Its retail centre, hotel, cafes and galleries service the wider community. It is also the southern terminal for the Hokianga Ferry, which links the two sides of the Harbour and provides a through route to and from Kaitaia.

The Rawene community is nestled in a unique and beautiful natural setting. It is a place where people, and the trust and relationships that flow between, are nurtured, and the community works in a spirit of togetherness to ensure the wellbeing of all.

Early 19th Century: Tawhai brings his granddaughter Katarina Kohu (Mrs Joseph Bryers) and her family back from the Bay of Islands to take charge of the Mahurehure gardens at Tahunahuru (approximately where the mangrove walkway is today) and to continue the occupation there. Katarina has mana whenua status in Rawene through her mother, Moehuri.

Mahurehure also regularly hunt and fish around Rawene.

Tahunahuru is also the spot where the koiwi (bones) were sent off in waka to their final burial place around the harbour after the appropriate ceremonies had taken place.

In 1862, J R Clendon and his wife Jane live with the Bryers until they are granted an acre of land and build their own house. Jane is the daughter of Takatowai Te Whata of Utakura and Dennis Browne Cochrane, a pioneer settler.

Muriwai sells Rawene to Herd in 1827. The sale covers land from the Point to south of Tahere Pa. Muriwai, from Te Popoto hapu at Utukura, was one of the most influential people in Hokianga at the time.

Te Mahurehure (Waima) chiefs Mohi Tawhai and Arama Karaka Pi, and Omanaia chief Papahurihia, say they should at least have been consulted over the sale, as they had legitimate claims to the land as well.

Herd purchased the land for the NZ Company, which turned it down in 1837. Tawhai and Pi say they will either buy the land back or simply repossess it, because Maori custom is that land has to be occupied to be claimed.

Ownership of the land was not resolved in the 1840 Old Land Claims hearings. Despite this, some portions changed hands many times until the 1858 Old Land Claims hearings in Rawene, when the Government took possession of Herd’s “title” and Tawhai and Pi were offered 3-acre blocks each. The land was surveyed in 1858, creating the sections and street layouts for the first time.

Tawhai’s block was later reduced to one acre, and in the 1950s the Council took the land for unpaid rates and built the pensioner housing there.

Papahurihia (also known as Te Atua Wera), settles at Te Raupo where he has family connections, in 1845. He is affiliated to Ngati Hau, Te Hikutu, Ngai Tawake, and Te Waiariki, and is regarded as the spiritual leader of Ngapuhi. An early map shows seven dwellings there.

Okura, where the Motor Camp is today, was an early name for Rawene. It is a place of deep spiritual significance, where significant ceremonies took place and peace was brokered in times of war between hapu from all over Hokianga. It was also a whare wananga, where tohunga would instruct selected boys in special teachings and rights. Hokianga chiefs met there to discuss signing Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and continued to meet there well into the 20th Century.

Tawhai’s 3 acres, later reduced to one acre, and then taken by the County for unpaid rates in 1950.

Pi’s 3 acres. Pi sells one section to the Methodists in 1859.

Hapu who record occupation and use of Rawene land in the early 19th C:Te Mahurehure (Waima)Ngati Hau (Omanaia)Ngai Tuputo & Ngati Here (Motukaraka and Oue).Te Popoto (Utakura) also asserted an interest.

Land reclaimed from mudflats for airstrip in 1930s. Becomes Government property, with a portion given to Rawene as a Reserve.

1550-1560: Formative period of Ngapuhi iwi.

Rahiri marries Whakaruru at Rawene, and moves to Whiria (at Pakanae), which becomes the citadel of Ngapuhi. Rahiri was born at Whiria and is the son of Tauramoko, a descendant of Nukutawhiti, and Hauaangiangi, daughter of Puhi. “… all Ngapuhi of importance trace their descent” to Rahiri. *
