Tapu Lifted At the close of the Council's meeting, the tapu on the meeting house, Kahukuranui, was lifted, to enable the work of demolishing to begin. The ceremony was performed by Pei te Hurinui Jones, and prayers were made by Canon J. Tamahori, chaplain of Te Aute College. The chairman of the New Zealand Maori Council, Sir Turi Carroll, withdrew the first nail from the building. The meeting house was to have been demolished several weeks before, but was left until after the ‘meet-the-people’ weekend. Just as all tribes were represented at the ceremony, it is hoped that all will again be present when the new meeting house is opened. It is hoped that the new house, to be built by the Omahu people, will be completed before the end of the year.
