MR TAMAKA AWARUA One of South Taranaki's pioneer dairy farmers died recently at Taiporohenui, Mr Tamaka Awarua, aged 92 years. Born at Oeo in 1868 during the battle of Turuturumokai, Mr Tamaka, as he was better known, became one of the first to take up dairy farming in the district. Secretary of the Maori Land League Association in 1892, Mr Tamaka helped to bring about the return of 16,000 acres of land to the Maoris from the Government. While still a farmer he started contracting on a large scale, and he helped the development of many acres of land in the area. An ardent worker in Maori affairs and public affairs, Mr Tamaka is survived by a daughter (Mrs Hariata Mason, Taiporohenui, and a son, Mr Te Hanataua Tamaka, O.B.E., Hawera).
