Port Molyneux : the story of Maori and pakeha in South Otago : a centennial history : commemorating the landing of George Willsher and his companions at Willsher Bay, June 28, 1840 : with a programme for the unveiling of the centennial cairn, erected by the Clutha County Council, June 28, 1940

Trustees For Te Karoro Reserve

Trustees For Te Karoro Reserve.

Later, trustees were appointed to represent those who had some rights in the block.

Apparently Block A, nearest the Karoro Creek, was known as Karoro, while Block B, the northern end, was named Whawhapo, after the little creek at the northern boundary.

Block A Trustees (these appear to be Southlanders).—Alfred Kihau, Rena Kihau, Haimona Papaoka, Kinihi Rahimauki, Mere Hutu, Henrietta Whaitiri.

Kinihi Rahimauki is Kinehi Kurupohatu, while Mere Hutu is Mary Hood.

Block B Trustees (these are evidently South Otago Natives).—Haimona Rangireke, Rota Pikaroro, Rawiri Takata Huruhuru, Rawiri Koroko, Teone Te Ururaki, Ihaia Potiki.

Haimona Rangireke is old Raki Raki; Rawiri Takata Huruhuru is Takata Huru; while Ihaia Potiki is easily identified.

By the courtesy of Mr. William Paterson, the esteemed Secretary of the Otago Early Settlers’ Association, and one long identified with Port Molyneux, we are able to reproduce pictures of those old–time Maoris who will be well remembered by old residents of Port Molyneux.
