Tuahiwi is a small New Zealand settlement located between Woodend and Rangiora. It is {{convert|6|km}} north of Kaiapoi.[1]

The settlement includes Tuahiwi Marae, a marae (tribal meeting ground) of Ngāi Tahu and its Te Ngāi o Tūāhuriri Rūnanga branch. The marae includes the Māhunui II wharenui (meeting house).[2][3]

History

Pre-European

The land on which Tuahiwi was founded was originally a Ngāi Tūahuriri hapū of Ngāi Tahu pā site.[4] With European settlement, the site was reserved for Māori in the 19th century. In 1831, prior to European settlement, the pa had been attacked by Te Rauparaha. The attack was a revenge raid (utu) and the pa returned to the Ngāi Tūahuriri when the attackers left.

Development

There was a meeting house on the site in 1870 that almost burnt down.[5] Significant developments included the establishment of a Māori mission which included a church built in 1867 with its foundation stone having been laid by Governor George Grey on his visit to the settlement.[6]

In 1890 Tuahiwi was described as having a neat village of Maori residences. The old whares had been replaced by more substantial fenced cottages with gardens. A school, church (St Stephens), and meeting hall were in the centre of the township and there was a flagpole in front of the meeting hall. The Maori Land Court used the hall from time to time.[7]

Events

In 1900 the Tuahiwi hall was used as a base by D Company of the 1st North Canterbury Mounted Rifle Battalion, a volunteer unit.[8] The Mounted Rifles included Tuahiwi Maori who on being refused permission to fight in the Second Boer War protested to the Premier Richard Seddon in 1901.[9][10]

Dr Reginald Koettlitz and a number of members of Scott's Discovery Expedition made a goodwill visit to Tuahiwi in December 1901 prior to the expeditions departure from Lyttleton for Antarctica.[11]

Te Wai Pounamu College for Māori girls was founded there in 1909. It relocated to Christchurch.[1]

Notable people

  • Wiremu Nahira Te-hoika - a Maori chief born about 1812 at Kaiapohia and moved to Tuahiwi in 1850 where he died in February 1903[12]
