MR GEORGE TE KAHUI POKAI AITUA One of the best-known Maori elders in Taranaki, Mr George Te Kahui Pokai Aitua, was burned to death when the historic meeting-house at Parihaka Pa was razed by fire last August. Te Kahui Pokai was a familiar figure on maraes throughout New Zealand. He travelled a great deal, attending most Maori meetings and made his mark as a gifted orator of the traditional type. He was 76 years of age. He was asleep in the building when the fire broke out.
