Oblivious to its place in history, the feisty North Island brown kiwi twisted its head as the Tainui kaumatua intoned a karakia. |

I would like to take a moment to greet the kaumatua and iwi representatives present in the gallery. |
The Mangatawa Papakainga is a housing project designed specifically for our Kuia and Kaumatua shareholders. |

There were a lot of his elders and kaumatua who encouraged him to study law, but he felt that he could be better use as a doctor. |
