Ko Aotearoa or The Maori Recorder was published in Auckland from 1861 to 1862 (only two issues have been seen). This paper was edited by Charles O B Davis. He notes that his greetings were formerly sent through other channels (Te Waka o Te Iwi and Te Whetu o Te Tau):’...but now I communicate directly with you through your own Printing Press 'Aotearoa' - I mua ake nei i haere taku mihi ki a koutou i runga i te taonga tangata: i naianei e haere atu ana i runga i to koutou taonga tupu, to koutou taonga ake i a 'Aotearoa'…’ (January, 1861: 21-22). The imprint on the title page reads, ‘He mea ta i te Perehi o nga Iwi Maori’ [Printed by the Press of the Maori People].
