Families share life’s journey
Tukiri’s mother Maria was my best friend at Whaka School as well as sharing Nga Potiki o Tamapahore hononga. I met Tukiri’s paternal grandparents, Te Hira and Te Arani Tini when I went to Bluff in February 1985 to help Maria and her whanau at the opening of their wharekai at Te Rau Aroha marae. That’s also when I met his siblings Koro, Te Mauri and Manuariki. When her whangai parents Matangi and Tamaku Whiti grew old Maria brought her family from Bluff to Whakarewarewa to look after them.
