Mr Epe Porma Wiki Tahi Mr Epe Porma Wiki Tahi, a rangatira of Ngapuhi, died last June at Rawene. He was believed to be aged over 90. He was the last survivor of a party of 30-odd Maoris who went to London to King Edward's Coronation. Immediately after the ceremony Mr Tahi ran back from his group and sat briefly on Edward VII's throne; this incident caused much amusement and comment at the time. Mr Tahi, a bachelor, lived at Omanaia for most of his life, and farmed and worked in the bush. He took part in the ‘dog-tax war’. His parents gave the land for the Omanaia School and Mr Tahi was one of its first pupils 82 years ago.
