Abstract

[This is the first of two chapters devoted to close analysis of one example of Tūhoe social organization in these years. Displaying the ethnohistorical method used, a 1903 provisional block list of owners including this hapū branch is examined in order to overcome the illusion of ‘families’ obscuring the implications of such titles by explicating the significance of sibling groups and surnames and identifying spouses, mothers, marriages, and land rights relative to other blocks. The care, consistency, and compromise shown by Tūhoe leaders revealed here support the conclusion that they largely controlled commission proceedings. It also exposes the facile but irresponsible method by which the later appeals commission settled appeals by simply extending block lists beyond solidary hapū membership, leaving the final titles more vulnerable to subsequent Crown subversion of the 1896 Act in its later purchase campaign.]
