Wednesday January 27 2021 Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz BAY HARBOUR PAGE 7 • From page 1 “The main issue is the appropriateness of Ōtautahi, as the name for Christchurch, being used beyond the traditional Christchurch area and expanding into Banks Peninsula, especially when Lyttelton is Ōhinehou and the harbour is Te Whakaraupō.” Turner discussed the community’s concerns with ChristchurchNZ this week. “I asked ChristchurchNZ to take advice and consider whether the use of the specific Ōtautahi flags are appropriate for Lyttelton. And if not, then they need to decide what flags should fly instead.’’ • By Samantha Mythen AKAROA RESIDENTS are also embroiled in a debate over its name. A call has been made to add ‘wh’ to Akaroa. Ngāi Tahu kaumatua Sir Tipene O’Regan said early surveyors to the land had been unable to distinguish the soft ‘wh’ and because of this, it was often missed when spelling Akaroa on colonial maps. The original name means ‘Long Harbour.’ This week Bay Harbour News •HAVE YOUR SAY: What are your thoughts on the flags in Lyttelton and the name Whakaroa for Akaroa. Email your views to samantha.mythen@starmedia.kiwi ‘The council should have consulted with the local iwi’ A ChristchurchNZ spokesperson said: “We are looking at options in regards to the street banners in Lyttelton, and are yet to undertake any actions.” When asked previously by Bay Harbour News if it would replace the Ōtautahi flags, the spokesperson said: “This activity is not budgeted for this financial year, nor is the future design and installation of suburb-specific banners.” ChristchurchNZ said it recognised “the individual culture of Ōhinehou Lyttelton and the vibrant community that call it home.” “However for planning and marketing purposes, it is considered a suburb of the city of Ōtautahi Christchurch.” The total cost to manufacture the banners to cover core city sites was $22,134 plus GST. This issue has been a large talking point in the Lyttelton community. Said Lyttelton Harbour Business Association chairwoman Vicki Tahau-Paton: “The council should have consulted with the local iwi before putting up a generic name.” Said Malcome Carne: “I would prefer to see Lyttelton on the flags. We have our own separate identity and physicality. The flag issue is about keeping separate rather than making Lyttelton a suburb.” Said Rob De Thier: “It would be nice to see the flags replaced with Lyttelton and Ōhinehou. It has always been the port of Lyttelton with its own special identity.” Several people mentioned the importance of Lyttelton flags so those visiting would be able to identify the town. Said Sachin Jacob: “The flags should say Lyttelton, so everyone who visits can clearly recognise it as that.’’ Said Charlotte Bruce: “Because of the strong community perspective here, it makes sense for the flags to say Lyttelton. It’s a destination place. Lyttelton locals are proud of their home. “It would be cool to see a mixture of place names on the flags, with both Lyttelton, Christchurch and the Maori translations.” Banks Peninsula Community Board member, Reuben Davidson, would also like to see the flags changed. “Lyttelton has a strong identity which we are proud of; both locals and visitors want to celebrate this. Also, of primary consideration, is the need to honour the correct Māori name for our special place,” he said. Call to change Akaroa’s name by adding ‘wh’ canvassed Akaroa residents. Said Rob Harris: “There is no need to change it as no one knows it by the other name.’’ Said Lurlene Roddick: “I don’t understand why everything has to be changed from what it has been known as to a word more difficult to pronounce. We should understand culture and know our history, but we are a very multi-cultural country.” Said Michael Springer: “It is time to fully celebrate and acknowledge those hundreds of years of people living here. You only have to open your eyes and notice all the fortified hill sights to wonder at all the history, rather than making it all about a brief moment of when it might have been French.” Said Grant Wylie: “I think it respects a place more to call it by its original and most meaningful version, and not what a colonist with a bad ear for the Ngai Tahu dialect or te reo Maori more generally recorded as is.” Said Mal Stanley: “I think we should embrace the te reo names for all places in Aoetearoa, and correct pronunciation is something to aspire to for all of us.” Another resident, Wayne Allan Webb, suggested having signs with both versions.
