| 説明 | On 16 November 1846 five Māori prisoners arrived at Hobart, having been transported from New Zealand to Van Dieman’s Land (Tasmania) for armed resistance against the Crown. The five Whanganui Māori - Te Umuroa, Te Waretiti, Te Kumete, Matai-umu and Te Rāhui - were sentenced to a penal colony following their involvement in the Wellington campaign of the New Zealand Wars. The New Zealand Company sailing ship Tory entered Port Nicholson (Wellington) in August 1839, its crew tasked with buying land for the Company’s planned colony. They immediately began negotiations with local rangatira, and on 27 September Te Puni and Te Wharepōuri made their marks on the parchment Deed. Goods were then distributed to the main pā in the harbour, where local rangatira were called upon to make their mark on the parchment. In total sixteen Māori signed the Deed. Before long a number of issues with the purchase arose. Poor explanation of the terms by the Company and the lack of a boundary plan were some factors. But more importantly, the Māori signatories had no familiarity with, or comprehension of, the very notion of a sale of land in Western terms. ‘At best,’ writes the Waitangi Tribunal, ‘a few may have anticipated that a relatively small number of Pākehā might come to live among them on terms which would be negotiated by Māori and which would be mutually advantageous to the parties.’ Losing their pā, burial grounds, cultivations, and other lands and forests permanently was incomprehensible according to tikanga Māori. Some believed they were merely allowing anchorage in the harbour. James Cowan notes there was uncertainty from both Māori and settlers regarding reserve boundaries, particularly in the Hutt Valley.The 1843 conflict at Wairau between New Zealand Company settlers and Ngāti Toa, combined with on-going land disputes, fuelled Wellington skirmishes in early 1846. On May 16, in support of Ngāti Rangitahi and Te Rangihaeata, Te Mamaku led approximately 200 fighters in an attack on Boulcott’s farm, including Te Umuroa. In response they were pursued by Government Forces. Te Umuroa, Te Waretiti, Te Kumete, Matai-umu and Te Rāhui were eventually captured at Paripari, north of Te Rangihaeata’s Pauatahanui pā. As punishment the five men were sentenced to transportation.For Te Umuroa, stepping aboard the HMS Castor would be his last moments on Aotearoa soil –he succumbed to tuberculosis while imprisoned in Australia. Te Waretiti, Te Kumete, Matai-umu and Te Rāhui however returned to New Zealand in 1848.The image above is an 1884 sketch map showing the geological of Tasmania. Hobart, where Te Umuroa, Te Waretiti, Te Kumete, Matai-umu and Te Rāhui landed, is located on the Derwent river in Tasmania’s the south-east.Title: Sketch map, general geographical features of Tasmania - scale 15 miles:1 inch - Leventhorpe HallArchives reference: AAFV 997 Box 51 G140collections.archives.govt.nz/web/arena/search#/?q=R22823340 Caption information from:NZ History:- nzhistory.govt.nz/war/wellington-war/political-prisoners - www.nzhistory.net.nz/keyword/battle-hill James Cowan (1955) The New Zealand Wars and the Pioneering period, 2nd Edition.
