Mrs Totorewa Kawiti The death occurred last July at Waiomio, near Kawakawa, of Mrs Totorewa Kawiti, the wife of the late Mr Riri Maihi Kawiti, a leader of the Ngapuhi tribe and paramount chief of the Ngati Hine sub-tribe. Mrs Kawiti was aged 61. Both Mr and Mrs Kawiti were descended from the great warrior Kawiti, who fought against the British at Ruapekapeka Pa. Mrs Kawiti died at her home shortly after returning from a meeting of mourning for her husband, who died last February. The tangi took place on the Waiomio marae and was attended by hundreds, including a party from Whakatane.
