 BLUFF HARBOUR
The port, which is situated on the north-eastern side of the Bluff Peninsula, is New Zealands southern most port of significance, handling a steadily increasing volume of export cargo, including logs, woodchips and frozen meat.
The port facilities were completely redeveloped in the late 1950's by a consortium of French contractors with a scheme which included the creation of a 35 hectare man made island now providing first class berthage for both coastal and overseas vessels.
Despite attempts over the years to give the harbour the name of various personalities considered worthy of commemoration, the name Bluff by which the headland was known by generations of whalers, has survived all others.

 Ben Finney / Sin at Awarua
The response made in the name of culture theory that authenticity is a nonissue since in all cultures traditions are invented anyway can be taken as compounding the original insult.
As Marshall Sahlins (1993, 4) and James West Turner (1997) have pointed out, arguing that traditions are neither genuine nor spurious but simply socially constructed in effect denies the possibility of expressing a valid cultural identity based on a remembered past.
For example, in an essay on cultural renaissance and identity in French Polynesia, Wilfred Lucas (1989) explained that his fellow Tahitians were "using the past to confront the future," gaining insights and strength from prior accomplishments to help them cope with the Nuclear Age into which they had been thrust.
