MRS EMMA MATARAE KARENA The death has occurred of Mrs Emma Matarae Karena, a well-known Huntly personality, at the age of 85. She was prominent in leading action songs on her own Maraes and also when she accompanied her grandnephew, Koroki Mahuta, in his visits to other maraes. A member of the Ngati-tamainu and Ngatimahuta tribes, she was the eldest daughter of Hikurangi Karaka Rotana and Pikihuia, of Huntly. With her late husband, Karena Wiremu Takoro, she was among the first in the Waikato to accept the faith of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints when it came to New Zealand.
