MRS K. WAIOEKA BROWN The death occurred recently of Mrs K. Waioeka Brown, aged 86. A large number of people attended her tangi at Tapuhikitia Pa, Puka. Mrs Brown was the wife of the late Mr Maheki Brown who pre-deceased her. Mrs Brown was attributed with a comprehensive knowledge of Maori culture and of the historical associations of her home district. She was especially competent in flax weaving and other recorative handcrafts. Much of her handcraft work is treasured by recipients in many parts of New Zealand but some excellent examples have been contributed to the Maori section of the Art Gallery and Museum in Gisborne. The late Mrs Brown was a devout and active member of the Ringatu faith.
