 Waitangi Tribunal - Media Statements
Hauraki Maori in the Gulf islands and the mainland harbours were in close proximity to the growing town of Auckland, and benefited from trade with it.
Hauraki Maori were caught up in the tensions between the Crown and the Kingitanga, and in the 1860s, some sections of the Hauraki tribes took up arms in what they saw as legitimate defence of their lands and people, losing many lives and suffering great social dislocation in consequence.
Overall, the Tribunal noted that most Hauraki land was acquired under pre-emptive right, and Hauraki Maori generally did not have the option to lease their land or to sell it on an open market, nor to make well-advised community decisions on the terms and conditions of sale.

 WAIKATO-HAURAKI REGION - The Hauraki District - 1966 Encyclopaedia of New Zealand
In the eastern part of the region lie the Hauraki Plains, best conceived as a shallow scoop draining towards the Firth of Thames by means of the Piako, Waitoa, and Waihou Rivers.
The upper part of the Thames Valley around Matamata, being better drained, was settled much earlier than the low-lying, wetter districts of the Hauraki Plains.
The settlement of the Hauraki Plains occurred after the Act of 1908 which promoted the draining and settlement of 90,000 acres of Crown land.

New Zealand environmental group Coromandel Watchdog is taking Hauraki District Council and Coeur Gold New Zealand Ltd (a subsidiary of Coeur d'Alene Mines Corp of Idaho, USA) to the High Court over the company's proposal to raise the height of its mine waste tailings dam in the Waitekauri Valley.
Environment Waikato -- the local regulatory agency -- and the district council have already directed the company to move the tailings dam over time.
"Our case is that the Hauraki District Council should refuse the building consents because the land is slipping and Coeur has been unable to stop the landslide," spokesperson Mark Tugendhaft said.
