Mr Mororekai Kaupeka Piripi Mr Mororekai Kaupeka Piripi, a leading rangatira of Ngati Wai, died at Whangarei on 28 November. He was aged 85. The son of Henare Kaupeka Piripi, Mr Piripi was one of the last remaining authorities on Maori history and tradition in the Northland area. He was a great advocate of education, and was intensely interested in the welfare of his people. He was instrumental in organizing much of the sub-division of Maori lands in the north, believing that this would result in a better use of the land. Mr Piripi is survived by his second wife, whom he married 11 years ago, and 11 of his 16 children. There are 76 grandchildren and 40 greatgrandchildren. He was buried at Mokau Cemetery after a service at the Punaruku Latter Day Saints Chapel.
