MR HUNUHUNU HAKOPA Mr Hunuhunu Hakopa, who was described during his tangi as one of the great elders of Te Arawa tribe, died last November at the age of 78. Mr Hakopa had lived and farmed at Awahou, where the tangi was held. Mr Hakopa's status was recognised at the reception to the Queen at Arawa Park, when he was chosen for the place of honour as the look-out on the top of the tower at the gates. From there he shouted a warning to the challenger below as the Royal Party approached. Mr Hakopa was recognised as a great orator and an expert in Maori genealogies. His knowledge and his strictness in enforcing Maori etiquette made him a dominant figure in maraes in his district.
