An Epitome of Official Documents Relative to Native Affairs and Land Purchases in the North Island of New Zealand

3 Te Aroha Block

3 Te Aroha Block.

This may be estimated to be of nearly the same extent as the Ohinemuri Block, but contains a larger area of land fit for settlement. The title to this land was disputed between the Thames Natives and the Ngatihaua tribe of Waikato, and after a protracted investigation was awarded to the former by the Native Land Court. I believe some part of it can be acquired easier than the Ohinemuri country. The Government have some land on the Waitoa stream, adjoining the western boundary of Te Aroha Block. Te Aroha is the southern extremity of the lands owned by the Hauraki Natives.
