Te Waharoa Tamehana Thousands gathered at Rukumoana Pa to pay tribute to Te Waharoa Tarapipipi Tamehana, the Kingmaker, who died on
10 September. He had held the position of Kingmaker for six years, and officiated at the raising up of Queen Te Atairangikaahu in May 1966. Canon Wi Huata conducted his funeral service, which was attended by many prominent Europeans. Mr Tamehana was a well-known carver and for a long time was instructor at the School of Carving at Rukumoana. He was brought up by Princess Te Puea at Ngaruawahia, where he learnt the art. Mr Tamehana leaves five children, Mrs Hinematuhia Walker, Rangimahora, Waharoa, Maihi and Tuwhare. His brother, Tai-hi Waru Tarapipipi Tamehana has succeeded him as Kingmaker.
