Welcomed to Maungapohatu He was welcomed to Maungapohatu by Mr Paetawa Miki, leader of the Tamakaimoana people, and the Very Rev. J. G. Laughton, chairman of management of the proprietors of Maungapohatu. A prayer of thanks was offered by the Rev. James Irwin, Moderator of the Presbyterian Maori Synod. Members of the Tamakaimoana tribe, assisted by Tuhoe people from Ruatahuna, had been preparing for the celebrations for months. The village population swelled from a normal total of about 15 to nearly 500 a few days beforehand, as a big team of workers prepared for the weekend of feasting and speeches.
