MR HAMIORA RAUMATI One of the most colourful personalities in Maori public life, Mr Hamiora Raumati, a blind elder of Urenui, died in the New Plymouth Hospital. He was aged 70. Mr Raumati was born at Urenui, mainly of Ngati-Mutunga and Ngati-Toa descent. He was also connected by blood with leading families of many other tribes. His parents were Makariru Dix and Ngaropi, a half-sister of Sir Maui Pomare. Later his mother married Nohomairangi Te Whiti, the only son of the prophet Te Whiti-Rongomai of Parihaka, in whose teachings he was well versed. Mr Raumati was an outstanding orator and he travelled to all important huis. After going totally blind about 26 years ago, he devoted his life to the public activities of his people, especially to the Raukura and King Movements.
