VICE-REGAL INTEREST.
RECOGNITION BY MAORIS
Per Press Association
WELLINGTON, Nov. 8. To mark the appreciation of the Arawa Tribe for the public service of the Governor-General and the Lady Bledisloe, and in recognition of their interest in Maori matters, the Arawa District Trust Board has given the historic landing place of the Arawa canoe for a memorial park. The land is situated in the Waiariki Native Land Court district and comprises nearly ten acres. The park is to bear the name of Lord Bledisloe, and three members of the Arawa Tribe will have a voice in its control.
The establishment of the park is provided for in the Native Purposes Bill, which was introduced in the House of Representatives to-night.
