Paeroa is a town in the Hauraki District of the Waikato Region in the North Island of New Zealand. Located at the base of the Coromandel Peninsula,it is close to the junction of the Waihou River and Ohinemuri River,and is approximately 20 kilometres south of the Firth of Thames.
The Waihou River is located in the northern North Island of New Zealand. Its former name,Thames River,was bestowed by Captain James Cook in November 1769,when he explored 14 mi (23 km) of the river from the mouth. An older Māori name was "Wai Kahou Rounga". A 1947 Geographic Board enquiry ruled that the official name would be Waihou.
The Hauraki Plains are a geographical feature and non-administrative area located in the northern North Island of New Zealand,at the lower (northern) end of the Thames Valley. They are located 75 kilometres south-east of Auckland,at the foot of the Coromandel Peninsula and occupy the southern portion of a rift valley bounded on the north-west by the Hunua Ranges,to the east by the Coromandel and Kaimai ranges and the west by a series of undulating hills which separate the plains from the much larger plains of the Waikato River. Broadly,the northern and southern parts of the Hauraki Plains are administered by the Hauraki District and the Matamata-Piako District respectively.
New Zealand is an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. It consists of two main landmasses—the North Island and the South Island —and over 700 smaller islands. It is the sixth-largest island country by area,covering 268,021 square kilometres (103,500 sq mi). New Zealand is about 2,000 kilometres (1,200 mi) east of Australia across the Tasman Sea and 1,000 kilometres (600 mi) south of the islands of New Caledonia,Fiji,and Tonga. The country's varied topography and sharp mountain peaks,including the Southern Alps,owe much to tectonic uplift and volcanic eruptions. New Zealand's capital city is Wellington,and its most populous city is Auckland.

Dame Claudia Josepha Orange is a New Zealand historian best known for her 1987 book The Treaty of Waitangi,which won 'Book of the Year' at the Goodman Fielder Wattie Book Award in 1988.
The Māori protest movement is a broad indigenous-rights movement in New Zealand. While there were a range of conflicts between Māori and European immigrants prior to the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840,the signing provided a legal context for protesting,as the Treaty of Waitangi made New Zealand a British colony with British law and governance applying. The British authorities had drafted the Treaty with the intention of establishing a British Governor of New Zealand,recognising Māori ownership of their lands,forests and other possessions,and giving Māori the rights of British subjects. However,the Māori and English texts of the Treaty differ in meaning significantly;particularly in relation to the meaning of having and ceding sovereignty. These discrepancies,and the subsequent colonisation by Pākehāsettlers led to disagreements in the decades following the signing,including full-out warfare.
Hikutaia is a locality on the Hauraki Plains of New Zealand. It lies on State Highway 26,south east of Thames and north of Paeroa. The Hikutaia River runs from the Coromandel Range through the area to join the Waihou River.
Māori are the indigenous Polynesian people of mainland New Zealand. Māori originated with settlers from East Polynesia,who arrived in New Zealand in several waves of canoe voyages between roughly 1320 and 1350. Over several centuries in isolation,these settlers developed their own distinctive culture,whose language,mythology,crafts,and performing arts evolved independently from those of other eastern Polynesian cultures. Some early Māori moved to the Chatham Islands,where their descendants became New Zealand's other indigenous Polynesian ethnic group,the Moriori.
