HAVE MAORI TRIBES BEEN IGNORED?
ROTORUA CRAFTS SCHOOL WAIKATO NATIVES ANNOYED THERE is a feeling among cerA tain Maoris, particularly some Waikato and Taranaki tribes, that they have been somewhat ignored in connection with the establishment of the new Maori Arts and Crafts School at Rotorua. The Rev. R. Taupotiki Haddon, senior superintendent of the Methodist Maori Mission, who is in Auckland today to preside over the Maori Synod, made mention of this fact. “These Maoris contend that the establishment of this school, which is an excellent idea, should be a national matter.”
Personally Mr. Haddon was strongly in favour of the school. He believed it to be a step in the right direction. At the same time lie considered it unfortunate that any section of the Maori race should have been antagonised in regard to its establishment.
