Te Pokohiwi/Wairau and early Māori communities
Wairau estuary regional orientation, Te Tauihu
Early settlement, food remains, and worked stone place this estuary within extensive Māori connections. Rangitāne accounts of disturbance, return, and care are essential to its present interpretation.
Islands, households, and connected ocean worlds
Island, coastal, and ocean settings
The Wairau estuary links lagoons, coast, and inland resources. This coarse regional point is deliberately not a burial coordinate or a diagram of rights.
Political organization and community scale
Early exchange and household evidence cannot determine a complete political map. Later iwi and hapū histories must not be collapsed into a single early village.
Later transformation, living heritage, and modern reception
Rangitāne's account describes ancestral responsibility and a 2026 management agreement. The atlas respects that account without adjudicating legal claims or individual affiliation.
The 2022 archaeological assessment summarizes occupation and wider exchange evidence.
The heritage register is a stewardship and access source, not permission to locate burials.
The institutional account places it within a longer history of grievance, repatriation, and responsibility.
