26.4 Katikati, Te Kauri Point, Ongare Point, Tanners Point, Athenree, Pio and Bowentown - important sites to Hauraki as indicated in evidence in the earlier Inquiry and now described in detail in the evidence of Dr Furey;¹⁰

26.5 Place names of urban areas such as Paeroa, Waihi, Waihi Beach, Katikati, Te Puna and Tauranga;

26.6 Nga Kuri-a-wharei - the Southern offshore reference in the pepeha “Mai Nga Kuri a Wharei ki Mahurangi”. This place of “breaking waters or ruffled waters” is a group of sunken rocks offshore. We have our own tikanga about this important place and the stories that go with it. In my original evidence, I explained how I was told of this location and I note that the location of our Nga-Kuri-a-Wharei differs from the location shown on many historical/official maps, and in evidence given by tangata whenua witnesses on behalf of various Tauranga iwi and hapu, where it is shown as a coastal land based site.

MAPPING UNDERTAKEN FOR STAGE II

27. I will now show you a series of maps we have had commissioned for this stage of the Inquiry. The first three are what I will call general situational maps. They are of the area I am mainly concerned with in my evidence today. You are able to see at a glance the key features described above.

28. The first map of these maps is a textured backdrop showing the land blocks and reserves, confiscation line, main roads and towns and the Athenree Forest.

29. The second map is a topographic map showing these features together with more detail. This is a LINZ map in common use throughout the country.
