MEMORIAL DINING HALL The Secretary for Maori Affairs, Mr Tipi Ropiha, recently opened a new dining hall at the Kie Kie marae, Waipiro Bay, East Coast. The hall contains carvings and tukutuku work rescued from the dining hall at Waiomatatini which was demolished by a flood in 1937. Sir Apirana Ngata had the hall built in memory of his wife. Arihia, Lady Ngata, and his son, Makarini. Mr Hoki Fox, chairman of the Hikurangi South Tribal Executive, approached Sir Apirana's brother, Mr Len Ngata, who had the carvings and tukutuku in safekeeping, to make them available for the new dining hall. * * *
