In 1925 an outbreak of typhoid fever struck Maungapohatu. Rua was advised by Dr Charles Hercus of the need to reconstruct the homes and latrines. He turned this knowledge to wider purposes, rebuilding the City of God on earth. In 1927 he predicted the end of the world in a rain of stars, and ordered the reconstruction of the houses, all possessing tin roofs against this event. Once again, the people sold their belongings and regathered from the lower-lying valleys to the foot of the mountain.

For an island people, land is hugely important. The traditional Māori world view is based in early Polynesian experience, where whole islands were sometimes lost beneath the sea. The world seemed unstable, as it consisted mainly of water. Land could not be taken for granted. A person’s search for their own foundation, values and principles is compared to a journeying canoe looking for land. An island comes as relief to the weary ocean traveller.

About this time a new force in Māori leadership emerged in Rangitīkei. In the early 1900s a Ngāti Apa woman, Mere Rikiriki, established a spiritual centre at Parewanui. Based on Christian scripture, Te Hāhi o te Wairua Tapu (the Church of the Holy Spirit) emphasised the unity of Māori under God and the Treaty of Waitangi. Thousands from tribes throughout New Zealand visited Parewanui to listen to Mere Rikiriki’s teachings and to receive and witness healings.

While Mangō warned him of dangers, Tuatara said that he would be fine as his looks would frighten everybody. Some tribes considered the tuatara a bad omen.

The Solomon Islands, some of which are shown here, lie at the eastern edge of Near Oceania. The evidence suggests that seafarers had some degree of sophistication and could navigate and steer their craft. It seems these early people knew how to cross from island to island, even where islands were not visible to each other. It is unlikely that people had got from Asia as far east as the Solomon Islands by accidental drift voyages.

Most people will respect rāhui if they know it has been imposed.

Near the Mōkau River further down the coast, Te Rauparaha, accompanied by a small group of mainly women, encountered a war party from Ngāti Maniapoto. Te Rauparaha dressed some of the women as chiefs and told them to stand by several fires, making their enemies think his party was larger than it was. This episode provided the name for this first migration – Te Heke Tahutahuahi (the fire-lighting migration). Ngāti Toa were given sanctuary in Taranaki by relatives, notably their close kin Ngāti Mutunga.

When Ngāi Tahu crossed Cook Strait to settle in the South Island they found a related tribe, Ngāti Māmoe, already living there. As Ngāi Tahu moved slowly south, there were battles between the two tribes, but also intermarriage and peaceful assimilation. The last major battle was fought in the early 18th century at Waitaramea, in the Five Rivers area of inland Southland. This monument marks the site.

A common reason for seeking new lands is overcrowding. But early Pacific migrations were not forced by the need for more space. In Lapita times population numbers were lower than they would ever be again. Stories of voyages of exile, overpopulation and warfare all belong to the end of Polynesian prehistory, long after the islands were settled. There is also little support for the Pacific being settled by accidental drift voyages – it was clearly intentional.

Raised on a South Island high-country farm, Bill Hamilton was encouraged from an early age to take an independent and innovative approach to solving problems. During the Second World War he established an engineering workshop that produced construction machinery using his own hydraulics design. In the 1950s, developing the established water-jet principle, Hamilton designed a jet unit that would propel boats in rivers too shallow for conventional propeller-driven craft. His highly successful invention was marketed worldwide.

The main tohu (symbol) of the church is the five-pointed star and crescent moon, the whetū mārama (shining light), worn on the lapels of mōrehu (the scattered remnant, Rātana followers) and at pivotal points on church buildings. The golden crescent moon (symbolising enlightenment) can face different parts of the coloured star: blue represents te Matua (the Father), white is te Tama (the Son), red is te Wairua Tapu (Holy Spirit) and purple is ngā Anahera Pono. Te whetū mārama represents the kingdom of light or Māramatanga, standing firm against the forces of darkness (mākutu).
