Kaumatua visit Wellington
About 60 kaumatua from throughout New Zealand gathered in Wellington for the second Kaumatua Wananga at which the elders of Maoridom come together informally to exchange ideas and views and to discuss what they see as important issues for the Maori moving into the 1980 s.
They were guests of the Maori Affairs Department at Waiwhetu marae, Lower Hutt, for just over two days. They came from: Tai Tokerau, Tamaki Makaurau, Waikato-Maniapoto, TaurangaThames, Te Arawa, Mataatua, Whanau-a-Apanui, Tairawhiti, Turanganui, Kahungunu ki Wairoa, ki Heretaunga, ki Wairarapa, Taranaki, Wanganui, Tuwharetoa, Raukawawhanui and Te Waipounamu.
As part of their two day stay in Wellington, they visited the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research’s soil bureau at Taita, Television New Zealand’s studios at Avalon, Lower Hutt, and went to Parliament and lunched with the Deputy Prime Minister, Rt Hon. Duncan Maclntyre. The photographs were supplied by the DSIR.
