of the Ngati-Tarawhai tribe of Okaitaina, Rotorua, famous for its carvers. In latter days that tribe produced Anahe Te Rahui, Tene of Whakarewarewa, Neke Kapua of Te Teko and his sons, one of whom, Eramiha Kapua was trained in the Auckland Museum workshop, also Te Ngaru Rapana of Mourea. Pokiha's pataka and most of the Maketu carvings were their work as well as the carved houses at Otaramarae and the one at Puna Whakareia to the east of which the road branches off to the Lake Okaitaina. My amateur investigations had led me to connect the Ngati-Tarawhai section of the Arawa carvings with those of the East Coast—the head form, details of pitau, pakati, pataha design and other features were so much alike as to Right: This bone-chest found in Hokianga is typical of ancient Northland carving styles. Now in Auckland Museum. (Photo: Peter Blanc)
