About this research
Project Summary
This research project will create a Digital Data Dashboard that links land blocks and sites with tūpuna and hapū names for the uri of Turora. The research takes a case study approach, previously used in Ngāti Kirihika whānau research that identified rohe whenua and found their tūpuna in many land blocks of other hapū.
The focus of this project is on the hapū of Ngāti Kirihika, Ngāti Wehiwehi, Ngāti Mōtai, and Ngāti Takaha. This searchable digital database will link the tūpuna, the land blocks they were landowners of and their karanga for the block.
Our case study approach includes the hapū partitions of the parent blocks that were Kaimai 1& 2, Whaiti Kuranui blocks 1 through 6, Paiakamangoatua, Rangitanuku, Mangawhero, Okauia 2, Mangapouri, Okoroire, Whakaaratamaiti, Waotu, Mangakaretu, Kokako, Te Ranga, Pokaiwhenua & Huihuitaha.
Overall, the Digital Data Dashboard will support the strengthening of hapū and whānau identity and knowledge. Making data from the Māori Land Court accessible will enable whānau to compile their whakapapa back to tūpuna of the 1880s and link to the land blocks where they were landowners.
