    Extractions: New Zealand's history may be short by old world standards but New Zealand still has a rich heritage of archaeological sites which illustrate its history. These sites have yet the potential to greatly elucidate aspects of our history that remain little known or controversial. The terraces and ditch defences of a Maori pa near Tauranga. A petroglyph of a Maori house, Katikati. Excavation revealing post holes of the wall of former structures at a Maori village site in Otahuhu. The remains of an historic cement works at Warkworth.

    Extractions: [Skip to Navigation] In New Zealand, paper money arrived with the Europeans. Prior to 1934, six trading banks made the bank notes in New Zealand. In 1934, the Reserve Bank became the only bank in New Zealand that was legally able to produce bank notes. The first bank note was introduced on 1st August 1934, and signed by the first Governor of the Reserve Bank, Leslie Lefeaux. Like the coins, New Zealand bank notes depicted features of national character. Objects on the notes were: a kiwi, the Arms of New Zealand, a vignette of Mitre Peak and a scenic feature of Milford Sound. The first series also included the portrait of the Maori King Tawhiao. Under his direction, the Bank of Aotearoa (the history of which is shrouded in mystery) issued a bank note in the 1880s printed in Maori. The colours of the original bank notes were similar to the "uniform" notes of the trading banks issued from 1924 onwards. All the notes carried the same design, but different colours distinguished denominations. Notes of 10/- (ten shillings), £1 (one pound), £5 and £50 were issued, coloured orange, mauve, blue-green and red respectively. The bank notes were also of the same size (7" x 3½"). The second DENOM.

    Extractions: Skip navigation The New Zealand Flag is the symbol of the realm government and people of New Zealand. Its royal blue background is reminiscent of the blue sea and clear sky surrounding us. The stars of the Southern Cross emphasise this country's location in the South Pacific Ocean. The Union Flag gives recognition to our historical foundations and the fact that New Zealand was once a British colony and dominion. The New Zealand Flag may be flown on any day of the year. It is particularly appropriate to fly it on days of national commemoration, such as Anzac Day, and on other important occasions. As New Zealand's national symbol the New Zealand Flag should be treated in a manner worthy of its high status. The Flags, Emblems, and Names Protection Act 1981, administered by the Ministry for Culture and Heritage, defines and protects the Flag. Contained in the Act is the power to prosecute those who misuse it. Surprisingly, many people are not aware of the special significance attached to the New Zealand Flag. Within certain guidelines, the New Zealand Flag may be used in a number of ways. Similarly, the correct way to display the New Zealand Flag varies from one situation to another. The aim of this website is to simplify flag flying, which otherwise may seem too complicated and not worth the trouble. It contains a

    Extractions: Archaeological evidence indicates that New Zealand was populated by fishing and hunting people of East Polynesian ancestry perhaps 1,000 years before Europeans arrived. Known to some scholars as the Moa-hunters, they may have merged with later waves of Polynesians who, according to Maori tradition, arrived between 952 and 1150. Some of the Maoris called their new homeland "Aotearoa," usually translated as "land of the long white cloud." In 1642, Abel Tasman, a Dutch navigator, made the first recorded European sighting of New Zealand and sketched sections of the two main islands' west coasts. English Captain James Cook thoroughly explored the coastline during three South Pacific voyages beginning in 1769. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries lumbering, seal hunting, and whaling attracted a few European settlers to New Zealand. In 1840, the United Kingdom established British sovereignty through the Treaty of Waitangi signed that year with Maori chiefs. In the same year, selected groups from the United Kingdom began the colonization process. Expanding European settlement led to conflict with Maori, most notably in the Maori land wars of the 1860s. British and colonial forces eventually overcame determined Maori resistance. During this period, many Maori died from disease and warfare, much of it intertribal.

    Extractions: NEW ZEALAND A Brief History New Zealand Aotearoa 's ("land of the long white cloud") indigenous Polynesian people, or its tangata whenua (people of the land), were the first occupants of the islands. They arrived in waka (sea-going canoe) about 1000 years ago from a mythical homeland Haiwaiki , most likely Tahiti, the Cook Islands and possibly Samoa. They named their new home Aotearoa The tangata whenua were defined wholly though their iwi (tribe) affiliations or whakapapa (genealogy). With the arrival of European explorers and settlers, the indigenous term Maori , meaning ordinary or common, came to be used as a pan-tribal term. Maori in turn described Europeans as pakeha (strangers), a term that many of settler descent have adopted. Treaty of Waitangi In 1840 the British attempted to enter into a treaty, known as the Treaty of Waitangi, with the various iwi . The Treaty was signed by some rangatira (chiefs) but by no means all. There were also two versions, one in English and one in Maori. Rangatira signed the Maori version of the Treaty which differed in significant ways from the English version. In the Maori version of the Treaty, rangatira gave the right of governance to the British Queen while retaining sovereignty or rangatiratanga , especially over land. In the English version, Maori gave absolute sovereignty to the British Queen, that is, the right to total control of the country. Ever since 1840 the Treaty has been the subject of intense debate about its meanings and importance to New Zealand and relations between Maori and the New Zealand government.

According to Maori legend, it was the great Polynesian voyager Kupe who made the first journey to New Zealand, named it Aotearoa, "Land of the Long White Cloud". They were a fierce, warlike people and practiced cannibalism. It was Abel Janszoon Tasman, a Dutch who was the first European to have sighted New Zealand in 1642, and called it Staten Landt, later renamed as Nieuw Zeeland. In 1769, the English explorer Captain James Cook landed on New Zealand and made perhaps the greatest impact on New Zealand exploration. In 1840, New Zealand was declared a British colony and this triggered a wave of migration from sealers, whalers and timber cutters.
