From: Cowan, James, 1870-1943 : Papers

Reference: MSX-9031

Description: Notebook containing research notes relating to Maori history (particularly food-gathering practices) from around the Taupo area. It seems that Cowan has used Maori Land Court minute books for his information as he attributes the information to land block names and case names, informant names and dates. Some of the people he mentions are: H Tumatara Pio of Te Teko (aged 77 in 1900), Te Waaka Tamaira (Rangatira block, 1884), Hitiri Te Paerata (mentioned several times), Tini Waata, Wineti Paranihi, Aperahama Werewere, Te Heueheu Tukino, and Te Rangitahau. The book also contains information given to him from Hare Hongi about Maori astronomy, makutu, and the moari [swing]. Contains whakapapa, karakia and waiata. Language - Some parts of the notebook are written in Maori. Arrangement: Item 11 in original listing Quantity: 1 folder(s).

Description: Shows lake in distance; party hunting wild pig in foreground with dogs, worrying the pig. The party includes a Maori man dressed in traditional costume. In: Brees S C Pictorial Illustrations of New Zealand. Plate 4, No 10, text p. 9. Brees stresses the value of the flat land in this area, its quality for farming and the building of part of a road across the Rimutaka Range. Brees spent some time in the Wairarapa surveying until the New Zealand Company suspended its operations in 1844, so the engraving is presumably based on a drawing completed between 1842 (Brees' year of arrival in New Zealand) and 1844.
