Subject: Acting as a 'meeting pool' for Maori and European in the early nineteenth century, the Kerikeri Basin is today one of the country's major heritage sites. When Anglican missionaries set up a station on the river below Kororipo pa in 1819, Kerikeri was already pivotal in the politics of the day. Kororipo, in the hands of Ngapuhi, controlled the route to the sea from inland Waimate. For a period the two cultures shared a 'middle ground' of learning and engagement. Here Revd William Yate worked with the Maori leaders who wrote to the King in 1831, leading to the Treaty-signing nine years later. By the 1850s, only James Kemp remained at the mission, and Maori were living under a new dispensation. Land everywhere was passing into the newcomers' hands. But the enduring emblems of the past - the surviving buildings, the archaeological sites, and the memories of wahi tapu - are here shared by both cultures.
