Tahuri Tikikiri-ki-te-rangi
Today my second oldest brother ‘Tahuri Tikikiri-ki-te-rangi Tibble’ turns 31 years old. Hari huritau kia koe brother. Tahuri was named after a Grand Uncle of my Nanny Dorothy from Waikato who died in prison at Torbay because he followed Princess Te Puea’s call not to list into the army during World war I. Te Puea Herangi, (9 November 1883- 12 October 1952) was a respected Maori leader from New Zealand’s Waikato region known by the name Princess Te Puea. Her mother, Tiahuia, was the elder sister of King Mahuta.
Shot Mihi! Crikey, seeing photo's of your bro Tahuri takes me back to when Mum, Dad, Kingi & Tahuri all lived in Anne St, Feilding. Your big bro was our little Buddha. Chubby as cheeks, full of kai and a killer smile.
