NORTHLAND RESERVE NAME CHANGESubmissions are sought from those in support of or against the proposed name change for a Northland reserve. The Department of Conservation [DOC] has proposed a name change of the Otaika Valley Scenic Reserve to Tiakiriri Kukupa Scenic Reserve after iwi Te Parawhau, Te Patukharakeke o te Parawhau requested the shift. A pā site southwest of Teo Teo, Otaike, is identified as native land. It is also the birthplace of Kukupa Tiakiriri and is now part of the Otaika Valley Scenic Reserve, owned by the Crown and managed by DOC. Changing the name would signify the importance of the pā site and the tūpuna’s stories of the land as well as helping to develop the relationship between Te Parawhau and DOC, according to the department website..... www.nzherald.co.nz/northern-advocate/news/northland-news-in-brief-police-recover-vehicle-used-in-northland-shooting-renowned-scientist-in-kerikeri/2G6WRORUB5DIHDCIQYTPXQTVZA/
