We are there together: Why The Dominion Post has an imprint M?ori

Translated freely, the full cover of the paper - Te Purongo o te Upoko-o--Ika - is "The Story of the Mind of the Fish". So the magical fishing hook from M?ui went ever further into the ocean. It hung a giant fishing rod and raised it..... and to this date the North Island M?ori is known as Te Ika a M?ui - or M?ui's one.

It' a small but important icon that this paper - based at the top of M?ui's fish' - is the vote of all, regardless of racial, sex, ethnicity and all the other elements that can make us foreign rather than neighbors. It' a confirmation that we are all inhabitants of this great town, area and country - and getting to know each other a little better can only lead to more comprehension and serenity.

The Greater Wellington Story M?ori

Wellington has a long and rich M?ori story, which includes its identity as "Te Upoko o Te Ika a Maui" or the head of the Fishes of Maui. The name requires the early M?ori's capability to see Aotearoa from the sky and imagine the fish-like form of the entire North Island.

Think the top of the fishy, in M?ori, is the cutest part. Contemporary archeology has proven that the Palliser Bay in Wairarapa's southwest, along the southerly coast of Wellington and on Kapiti Island are some of New Zealand's oldest documented locations, some 650 years old.

These distinctions are divided with the locations in the far north. Maui is attributed to catching a big catch (ika) according to the legend of M?ori It became known as the North Island of New Zealand or Te Ika a Maui and the South Island was his kayak (waka) or Te Ika a Maui.

This act is linked to several sights in the area. Lake Wairarapa and Wellington Harbour are called the eye of the seaweed. (Ng? Whatu o te Ika a Maui). The Palliser and Turakirae Head, on the southern shore of Wairarapa, are the pine trees at both ends of the cove and the Palliseray.

The name around the area reflects his impact. Matiu/Somes Island in Wellington Harbour, for example, is called after one of Kupe's girls and Ng? Ra o Kupe (the Sail of Kupe ) are cliffs near Cape Palliser. The nearest polynese traveler arriving in the area.

Tara and Tautoki, whose offspring finally inhabited the lower half of the North Island and the tip of the South Island. The Tara and Tautoki and their men emigrated to the lower North Island and set up there. Among their offspring are the Ngai Tara, Rangit?ne, Muaupoko, Ng?ti Apa and Ng?ti Ira.

Wellington Harbour's M?ori name is Te Whanganui a Tara or the Great Harbour of Tara. Also the Tararua Mountains, which separate the Wellington region from eastern to western, are called after him. Tararua derives its name from the saying "Ng? Wawaewae en rua a Tara" or "the tense feet of Tara", which means that its tribe had gained a firm hold on both sides of these lands.

Next arrival was Ng?ti Kahungunu, descended from Takitimu aka. Also emigrated to the Heretaunga area or the Hutt Valley and occupied Eastern Wellington Harbour together with their relationship with Ng?ti Ira until the 1820s. There have been significant movements of M?ori in and around the area since.

Wellington Harbor area (Te Whanganui a Tara) has seen different strains occupied by different strains in consequence and period of time. Since 1832 the port has been owned by the Taranaki clans. During the early nineteenth centuries, the migrations of the Tainui strains of Kawhia and Maungatautari and the Taranaki strains to the west of the area ( (including Porirua) led to great changes for the Ngai Tara, Muaupoko and Rangit?ne peoples who had resided for many centuries.

One of the Tauas, headed by Ng? Puhi and Ng?ti Wh?tua, inclusive Ng?ti Toa and ?tiawa chieftains, devastated many of the Muaupoko, Rangit?ne, Ngai Tara and Ng?ti Ira in an area stretching from the western to the eastern part of the area. Over the next 20 years, a number of migration of these invading northerly strains invaded the area.

That was the cast that prevailed when the New Zealand Company colonists came to Wellington in 1839. The first Taranaki tribe to establish itself near Lake Wairarapa in the 1820'. During 1834 a string of fights between the West Coast Tribal (?tiawa, Ng?ti Tama and Ng?ti Mutunga) and Wairarapa M?ori brought the residents of Rangit?ne and Kahungunu back to their relatives in Mahia for expulsion.

In 1840, after several years in exil and further exchange between Wairarapa and Wellington (Taranaki), a historical meeting in Pitone (Petone) proclaimed the Treaty of Trent.
