Koromakinga me ngā Uara
When Lord and Lady Bledisloe first walked on the grounds of Waitangi in 1932 they looked beyond the run-down buildings and overgrown gardens and envisioned a future where the significance of Waitangi was properly recognised. This was a dream many Māori had been holding onto for decades.
I hoko mai ngā Bledisloe i Te Papawhenua o Waitangi e 506 heketea te rahi kātahi ka takoha mai ki te whenua, kia whakaurua ki roto i tētahi tarahiti, kia whakahaerengia e te Waitangi National Trust Board ko ōna mema nō ētahi whānau whai hononga hītori ki te Tiriti o Waitangi I tū tētahi hui hira i Te Tī Marae me Waitangi i Pēpuere 1934 ki te whakanui i te tukunga ōkawa o te takoha whenua a ngā Bledisloe, mō tōna 10,000 Māori mai i ngā tōpito e whā o te whenua i reira ki te whakahōnore me te whakanui i taua koha o rāua

Forming the Waitangi
National Trust
I whakatūria te Waitangi National Trust e tētahi Ture Pāremata ki te whakahaere i te papawhenua. Nā tana pukapuka tarahiti, he mea tuhi i te 1932, i whakatakoto ngā whāinga mā te Poari Kaitiaki me te Papawhenua o Waitangi. Ka whai wāhi ki ēnei te whakatika me te whakarauora i te Wharenoho o mua tērā, i runga anō i tā Rore Bledisloe tono, i tapaina anō ko te Whare Tiriti.
Anei ngā mema o te Poari tuatahi:
- ko ngā kaitakoha, Rore me Reiri Bledisloe, he mema ā, mate noa
- Vernon Reed
- ko te Pirimia George Forbes
- Ko Alfred Ransom, ko te Minita e whakahaere ana i te Scenery Preservation Act
- Ko Tā Āpirana Ngata, te Minita Take Māori
- Ko Kenneth Williams, he mema no te whānau o te mihingare Williams
- ko Riri Maihi Kawiti e whakakanohi ana i ngā whānau o Hōne Heke, rātou ko Maihi Kawiti, ko Tāmati Wāka Nene, ko Pōmare

Tae noa mai ki tēnei rā ko ngā mema o te poari he kanohi o ngā tāngata kua whai hononga tika ki tēnei pae hītori. Kei te Kāwana Tianara o te wā te motika ki te kōwhiri kia noho hei Whakaruruhau o te Tarahiti.
Hei kaitiaki kei te Waitangi National Trust Board te haepapa ki te:
- Tautiaki i te papawhenua o te Waitangi National Trust me ana taonga hei Tūrangawaewae mō ngā tāngata katoa o Aotearoa.
- Whakahaere i te whakawhanaketanga toitū o te whenua me ngā rawa o te Tarahiti mā te tautiakitanga, te whāomoomo me te whakahaere e tika ana
- Rauhī, tiaki me te whakaatu i ngā taonga e tiakina ana e te Tarahiti
- Whakanui i te māramatanga ki te Tiriti o Waitangi, tōna hira hei puka tūāpapa mō te whenua, me tōna pānga haere tonu ki tō tātou oranga ā-whenua
- Whakawhanake me te whakahāngai i ōna tikanga e pā ana ki te urunga me te whakamahinga o te pae i hainatia rā te Tiriti o Waitangi, o Te Whare Rūnanga, me te waka Ngātokimatawhaorua

The Treaty Ground
founding: Bledisloe gift
Whai muri i te hainatanga o te Tiriti i te tau 1840 ko te whānau Puhipi ngā rangatira o te Whare Tiriti. He mea hoko atu te whare me te papawhenua huri rauna e Akinihi Puhipi i te 1882, i te tekau tau i muri i te matenga o tōna hoa rangatira. I ngā tau ka pahemo ka tauheke haere ngā rawa o te papawhenua, ko te mutunga iho ka noho hei whenua pāmu pāhekeheke noa o Aotearoa. Ko te āhua rā, i maumaharatia te hira o taua wāhi e te Māori anake. I te tau 1878 i tuku petihana ētahi tāngata nō ngā iwi o te takiwā ki te kāwanatanga tērā i tono kia whakatūria he whare rūnanga whakamaumahara, erangi i whakanau te Kāwanatanga.
I ngā tau tōmua o te rautau 20 ka kawea ake te mānuka takoto e Vernon Reed, te mema pāremata o te rohe, he rōia anō hoki, hei whakanui ake i tō ngā tāngata o Aotearoa whakamaioha i Waitangi hei pae hira mō te katoa o Aotearoa. I maha ngā whakahoe me ngā ketekete, erangi i te tau 1932 i te Kāwana Tianara me tōna hoa, i a Rore me Reiri Bledisloe, e hararei ana i te Pēwhairangi, he mea aki rāua e Reed kia toro i Waitangi me te kite ko rāua anō i taua wā hītori nui. I ātahungia rāua e te pae, ā, i runga anō i tō rāua kaha whakapono me whakamaioha ngā tāngata o Aotearoa i tōna hira, ka hokona te i te Waitangi National Trust papawhenua e rāua.
I te 10 o Mei, whai miuri i tana toro, ka whakamōhiongia ā-reta te Pirimia George Forbes e Rore Bledislow: 'Tenei au, mō māua ko Tōna Tino Hōnore, e tāpae nei mōu ki te motu, te pae tino hītori nui o Aotearoa, ko "Waitangi", me ngā eka 1000, he wāhanga o te papawhenua katoa kua hokona mai i nā tata nei mō tēnei pūtake.'
I takoha ōkawatia a Waitangi e Rore Bledisloe ki te whenua i tētahi hui i taea rā e te mano tini i te 6 o Pēpuere 1934 – te Rā o Waitangi tuatahi, te rā ā-iwi o Aotearoa.
