Is your tupuna in the record?

This covers what's been processed so far: eight reports in full — Ben Leonard's Wāhi Tapu and Portable Taonga, Volume I, Maxwell & Huebert's Volume II (Archaeological Report), Heather Bassett's Muriwhenua Post-1865 Block Narratives, Report One, Megan Mulder's Pre-1865 Crown Transactions and Reserves and her signatories list, Leonard's wider Te Paatū: Wāhi Tapu and Portable Taonga report, the Te Paatū Customary Interests Report draft, and Woodley's Parapara chapter — plus the first 172 pages of Bruce Stirling's draft, covering Ngāti Tara's origins through the Old Land Claims and the Parapara and Okokori title investigations. It doesn't yet cover the rest of Stirling's draft (Hikurangi, Puketū, the Oruru Valley blocks, Toatoa, Mangatete, Kaiaka and Maungataniwha reserves, and Peria are still to come), Woodley's other 20 chapters, or the Te Paatū Volume II archaeological assessment — it will grow as more of that research is brought in. If your tupuna doesn't turn up here, that's not evidence they're not in the record — it may just not be indexed yet, or spelled differently than you searched (try the different spelling suggestions if a search comes up empty).
