| 説明 | Te Puia Valley and Pohutu.Pohutu geyser, the most famous of the 65 geysers found in the Te Whakarewarewa Thermal Valley means big splash or explosion. Pohutu erupts up to 30 metres (100 foot), depending on her mood, up to 20 times each day. Maori regarded geysers and thermal activity as gifts from the gods when the Goddess of Fire emerged from the earth’s core. There are over 500 mud pools at Whakarewarewa. The mud pools are usually chloride pools with mud near boiling point and a build-up of silica around their rims or they are sulphate springs and they highly acidic and active. They are the ones associated with mud pools and fumes and the sulphates react with the rocks to sometimes produce multi-coloured rocks. Whakarewarewa thermal area also contains a Maori Marae or meeting house, a training school for young men wanting to become Maori carvers and a cultural centre. The Maori Land Wars around Rotorua. In the 1830s white missionaries were the first Europeans to see the Volcanic Plateau around Taupo and Rotorua. The Te Arawa people welcomed the missionaries as a way of gaining Pakeha knowledge and goods. Missionaries encouraged the tribes of the area to turn from war to peace with each. But war began again when the Pakeha arrived. When war came with the whites, the Te Arawa Maori aligned themselves with the government against their old enemies the Ngati Tuwharetoa from Waikato (Hamilton) and the East Coast round Tauranga. The whites had taken control of Rotorua district by 1870. |
