WHARE MAHITI HOTU A chief of the Maniapoto tribe and one of the most noted authorities on Maori genealogy, Whare Mahiti Hotu, of Oparura, died recently, aged 89. Born early in the Maori wars near Te Kuiti, Mr Hotu became a disciple of Te Whiti in the Parihaka episode in 1881, and later took part in a raid on Te Kuiti's first store. Mr Hotu was a fine orator in Maori and was an authority on land titles. He was awarded the O.B.E. in 1952 for his work among the Maori people.
