NATIVE LAND- CLAIMS AT TARA NAKI AND THE PAKIHAKA DIFFICULTY^

(To the Editor.)

SIR,—I am frequently asked why the Tara naki confiscated lands were not dealt with in the same manner us thoso taken Under the authority of the New Zealand Settle ments Act, 18G3, in the province of Auck land, viz., at Waikato, Tauranga, Opotiki, and East Coast (Gisborne). I can merely reply, " Oh, that is a Taranaki question; and they do those things better in France 1" I can only assert as a fact that when I was Civil Commissioner for the colony—and Crown agent for confiscated lands here —that, being at Wellington at the time the Compensation Court was about to hold a sitting at New Plymouth, I was lequcatcd to proceed hy the steamer to Tarauaki in order to instruct the late Mr William Atkiuson (brother of the present Colonial ITreasurer), who was appointed Crown Agent, as to the manner in -which his duties were to be peiformed—and I was desired to inform him that precisely the same course was to be adopted as had been pur sued with lands in the Province of Auck land. In order to show the importance the Government attributed to tllis subject — they dliectod the steamer to lie two days In Spw Plymouth roadstead at tbe expense of £75 per. diem while I was so engaged. In the Waikato, Tauranga, and Opotiki. dis tricts but one course was followed, that is— The whole of the lands awarded to, reserved tor, or 'relinquished in favour of native claimants or ex-rebels were surveyed with the utmost despatch, and Crown grants and other documents, showing the position ofHbe holders or occupiers, were issued with the least possible delay. Ido not hesitate in saying that in Waikato alone there were at least twice the numoer of claims to be dealt with as at Taranaki, and tlie land title of the latter district, from the natives having occupied the country from their first arrival in tuis island, was not nearly co disturbed orcomplicatcdaa in Waik'ato, Tau ranga, or.Opotiki, where former conquest] and encroachments of outside tribes were always cropping np. Mr J. A. Wilsou, as Crown Agent, arranged all the questions in the Opotiki district; Mr H. T. Ciarke and myself settled matters at Tauranga; and I, assisted by Mr B. Marshall, completed the arrangements respecting Wairoa, Waiuku, and Waikato. No difficulty' has since arisen in the above mentioned districts with reference to the lands awarded by the Compensation Court to loyal natives, or respecting the reserves made for surrendered ex-rebels. In order to atiive at a just con clusion in the cose of the unfortunate pro vince of Taranaki, it will be necessary to travel back to the early history of the colony. It is justly said that unless a man has lived in Ireland he cannot properly estimate the antagonism between a Ribbon man and Oranpeman. By the same rule it may be observed that unless a man has lived at Taranaki, or is acquainted with its history and people, he cannot con ceive the intense haired which obtains there towards the Maori race. Many people in other portions of the colony feel an interest in the affairs of Taranaki, but never fairly arrive at a conclusion as to the cause of the constant quarrels there be tween the Europeans and the natives. In 1831-32-the Tarauaki district was in vaded by the Waikato tribes, and atter a siege of three months the Ngatiawa holders of the Pukerangiora pah (afterwards the site of Te Arei and General Pratt's cele brated cap) attempted to e3cape, pud great numbers were killed or captured. The remnant fled south, and joined the Ngatitoa and Ngatirarua tribes, who had been expelled from their lands between Kawhia and the White Cliffs, and were then engaged in conquering the people residing near Wellington, and also in the Middle Island. These refugees finally settled at Waikanae and the Eutt, near Wellington, and others located themselves at places in the Middle Island adjacent to Cook's Strait. Another portion of the Nga tiawa migrated to the Chatham Islands. Meanwhile, after the retreat ot the Pukerangiora fugitives, the victorious Waik&to marched to Motu roa, near the Sugar Loaves, where a strong pah had been erected by a section of the Ngatiawa tribe, under the chiefs Te Puni, Wharepouri, and Te Keha. Some European whalers were residing with the natives at this place—the leaders of whom were Richard Barrett and John Love. They, accompanied by the chiefs Wbare pouri and Te Keha, had visited Sydney in the schooner "Adventure" in 1829, and bad -procured a supply ot muskets and ammunition, and some six-pounder guns. When the Waikato attacked the pah they unexpectedly found themselves mowed down by the cannon, which had been loaded to the muzzle with chains, spikes, and broken iron of various descriptions. The loss of the Waikato tribes was very severe; they made a precipitate retreat, leaving up wards of two hundred dead and wounded on the sand beach near the site of the proposed breakwater.

The Taranaki and Ngatiruanui natives, who owned the Farihaka and Waimate districts, although frequently harassed by the incursions of the Thames and Waikata triKes, never abandoned their portion of the cot-otry. When Land Companies were forned in England for the pur poses of purchasing and promoting the settlement of lands at Taranaki, the agents of those bjdies paid the Waikaio itibes for the district, altogether ignoring the claims of the remnant of Ngatiawa who were residing -within it. When the Euro pean immigrants commenced settling at New Plymouth, several of the Ngatiawa, Who bad migrated to the Souih, returned to their original holdings'] The settlers who had paid for land in England found their oc cupation objected to, and they suffered great loss -and inconvenience in conse quence. Governor Fitzroy ignored the pur chase from the Waikato tribes, which re sulted in confining the settlers to a vary limited area, and several years elapsed be fore any large quantity of land could be ac quired [from the resident natives. Gover nor Fitecoy set aside the purchase trom the Waikato tribes because they had not occupied the lands—and, in my opinion, he was right, because if he bad applied the same rule as the land agents to the lands held by. the Waikato and Hauraki tribes, the Ngapuhi who had driven those people from their districts would have been the proper persons to h&ie.sold the Waikato and Thames districts. ' JVgapuhi. never attempted to set up such a claim, as it was utterly at variance with Maori usage ; and therefore, bow could the Waikato claim to Taranaki be upheld. This was the origin of bad feeling between the Ngatiawa tribe and the European settlers—'-' Hinc illro lacrymae." Subsequently the desire to acquire further exteat of lands for settle ment led to the hurried and iacomplete nego tiations for the Waitara block. The Government Land Purchase Commissioners at Taranaki declared that Wiremu Kingi Bangitake had no claim whatever to lands at Waitara, and his opposition was merely in pursuance of the Waikato Land League policy. Although the resident officers of the Government could cot discover Wirernu Kingi Hangitake's holdings within the cele brated 600 acres,l by conversations with the Ngatiawa residing at Nelson and Marl borough, elicited the fact that the hostile chief had three pieces of land within the blfkk ceded by Te Teira, and a sketch map' showing their position, was transmitted by one to Governor Gore Brown, which can be found by reference to the Blue Book of the period. It /is a matter of history, the losses, sufferings, and privations endured by the industrious settlers of New Plymouth in the Waitara and subsequent wars which devastated that unhappy portion of this island. It is therefore not to be won dered, that the settlers have an intense feeling of dislike and hatred towards the Maoris—and I think it will be possible to connect this with the non-fulfilment of promises respecting reserves aud the reten tion or non issue of Crown Grants for the lands awarded to the natives by the Com pensation Court. Some years after the sitting of that Court-Chief Judge Fenton drew the attention of the Government, and the local officers of the Native Department to the injustice then being perpetrated in not satisfying the awards made to loyal natives by him—but no notice was taken of his representations, Mr Commissioner Parris did all tbat was in his power to have the awards defined on the ground and granted; but he met with such opposition, and so much dissatisfaction prevailed among the settlers, that the late Si Donald McLean, in a weak moment, deserted his own officer and consented to the appointment of a local committee to manage -Native Affairs in conjunction with the Commission. It has been commonly re ported that one of thecardinalpointsof policy laid down was that "it was not desirable to issue Crown grants to the natives, as it would be easier to purchase their scrip awards if they had do valid title." And for similar reasons the reserves promised to ex-rebels were not laid off on the ground. These matters would, probably have been arranged to the satisfaction of the natives and the whole colony (except TaraDaki) if Mr Parris had been allowed to complete the business in his own way. After having retired from the public service it has been

found necessary to associate him with the Royal Commissioner (Sir William Fox) in the attempt to settle tha West Cdast difficulty, .Whether the non-issue of the Growu grants to-loyal natives fot-the lands awarded to them by the Cortipehsatiori Court between >the WaifigongOro and Waitptara rivers-was in anyway influenced by Sir W. Fox's Ministerial' statement to the Patea settlers that "no native should light a lire in that district) has yet to be shows. It may, however, be imagined that Sir 'William Fofc dannot have much ploasui:o _ in instituting inquiries as to the native claims and griev ances within the limits aboye men tioned, and to a man of his well-known conscientious disposition It must be fatller galling to find that it has become his duty to assist the nati»6s justly—in enabling them ;to li«ht their fires within the block which h>d been made "tapu" by Ilia Ministerial dictum. ..-.■■

Prbably if the Remainder of the inhabi tants of this colony had Undergone the same hardships and losses arising from various phases of native complications and outrages as have fallen to the lot of the early settlers of Taranaki- they would Also be inclined to act harshly towards the native race. It is, however, the duty of the whole colony to see justice done to both settler and Maori, as Taranaki is npt the only place which would be injured by the outbreak bt hostilities, and therefore, as the whole of the North Island would suffer directly or. indirectly, war ought to be averted, if it is possible to do so without sacrificing the prestige of the colony. I will now make a quotation from my report of the 6th May, 1879, which will show, as far as my enquiries went, that these diffi culties cannot be said to have arisen solely from the action ot any Ministry. (Vide G. A., Blue Book No. 2, 1880, Page 13), "It is only just to say in conclusion that the discontent and disaffection which at present obtain among the members of the four tribes befbre-mentioned docs not ap pear to have arisen, from any recent actiUn of the Government: but to be the outcome of a series of mistakes and nexigences ex tending over the past thirteen years:" Hoping you ■will excuse the length of this communication, as my desire is to show the Parihaka-Waimate difficulty in its true as pect—not that it is necessary to detail 'the wretched history of Tara naki to the old settlers of the colony, but it must be borne in mind that Out population has increased enor mously since the termination of the Tara naki wars—and persons recently arrived in the colony, not oeing conversant with the facts of the cose, might be inclined to hur riedly join in the cry for war, without in any way understanding tho questions at issue, or knowing how disastrous war with the Maoris has always been, to those who have Virne the burthen and heat of the day in this Province I need address nothing, as they have always entertained just and friendly feelings towards tho Maori race, although many of them have fought and suffered as much as their brethren of Taranaki. It seema a great pity that when our present relations withTawhiao, Kewi, and the Waikato King party are of so satisfactory a [character, aud large areas of the interior of this Provincial District are being daily acquired for settlement that anything should occur to Stop the tide of prosperity which appears to be setting towatds this portion of the colony.—l am, &c, JAMES MACKAV.
