이스턴 베이 오브 플렌티 (Eastern Bay of PlentY) 지역의 뉴질랜드 북섬에 위치한 화카타네 (Whakatane District) 는 해안가의 인상적인 경치와 멋진 덤불랜드 산책로를 자랑합니다.그러나 와카타네 지구에는 풍부한 역사가 있으며, 방문객들은 오늘날 존재하는 나라에 참여하면서 더 많은 것을 배우는 데 관심을 가질 수 있습니다.이 지역에 머무는 동안 배울 수 있는 역사 중 일부를 소개합니다.

첫 번째 마오리 정착민의 도착
나중에 토이 카이라카우로 알려진 토이 테 후아타히는 그의 손자인 와통가 (Whatonga) 를 찾아 서기 1150년에 화카타네에 상륙했다.그가 그를 찾을 수 없을 때, 토이는 지역에 머물기로 결심하고 고원의 가장 높은 지점에 마을 (PA라고도 함) 을 건설했습니다.오늘날 이 지역은 화카타네 헤드로 알려져 있으며, 아래 도시의 멋진 전망을 감상할 수 있습니다.

유럽 정착민의 도착
유럽 식민지의 포경꾼, 봉인자, 선교사, 상인들은 1830년대에 화카타네 지역을 고향으로 만들었다.이 땅은 화카타네 강을 통해 옥수수, 감자, 밀 및 기타 물품을 북부 지역으로 운송하는 데 사용되는 보트가 있는 조선 지역으로 알려졌습니다.설리반 호수와 아와타푸 라군에 잔재가 남아 있는 오리지널 수로가 있습니다.

뉴질랜드 전쟁
뉴질랜드 전쟁으로 알려진 1845년에서 1872 사이의 일련의 갈등은 식민지 정부와 연합군 마오리 연합군 정착민들과 싸우고 있습니다.화카타네 지구는 분쟁에서 중요한 역할을 담당했습니다.무장 한 변수소가 짧은 기간 동안 마을 위에 주둔했으며, 조셉 와드 총리와 마오리 운동가 루아 케나 나 헤페티파 (Rua Kenana Heptipa) 간의 역사적인 만남의 장소로도 선정되었습니다.

1875년에 완공된 이 멋진 구조는 Ngati Awa 부족에 의해 빅토리아 여왕에게 제공되었습니다.안타깝게도 여왕은 뉴질랜드 여행을 할 수 없었습니다.대신 1924년에 이 건물은 조지 왕과 메리 여왕이 방문한 런던으로 옮겨졌습니다.그런 다음 호주와 같은 국가에서 세계를 둘러볼 수 있습니다.마타아투아 와레누이/마오리 미팅 하우스는 처음에는 화카타네 가장자리에 세워진 부지로 돌아왔습니다.또한 원래의 영광으로 복원되어 관광객들이 방문할 수 있도록 전시되어 있습니다.
