The Office Whakaahua Tipuna/Whānau
October Last month Te Pānui Rūnaka published this image on the back page and requested names or information be provided about the photograph. This photo is in the Ngāi Tahu Archive at Macmillan Brown Library. At the time of publication, we had no information about the image. However, since last month, we have come across information about this tīpuna which stated that this is an image of a Miss Tikau of Little River. This is how the name was spelt. Someone had then added a note that said: ‘should this be Tikao?’ If whānau have any further knowledge to add, we would still love to hear from you. Please do not hesitate to contact either Tania Nutira or Robyn Walsh, Ngāi Tahu Archives Unit on 0800 KAI TAHU (0800 524 8248) if you have information about this or any of the Whakaahua Tīpuna/Whānau images we have published. Kia ora. Miss Tikau (Tikao).
August In the August edition of Te Pānui Rūnaka we published this image on the back page and requested names or information. This photo is in the Ngāi Tahu Archive at Macmillan Brown Library and is entitled: Ngāi Tahu hui “Te Mangungu Marae, Hutt Valley”. Māwhera owners. We would like to acknowledge and thank Karen Feary for making contact and for providing names and information. From left, Ada (née Feary) Lousich, child, Rhys Hiroki, Julie Vincent, (child to the back is unidentified), Lesley Lousich, Elaine (née West) Feary, Tom Feary, Maureen Lousich and Tony Walters.
Artwork for Te Pānui Rūnaka
Will it be your artwork that features on the next cover of Te Pānui Rūnaka? Each issue, we showcase a piece of artwork created by a Ngāi Tahu artist. While we already have an existing collection, we would like to add to it and ask that whānau kindly send in their artwork. A submission should include a good quality photograph of a painting, sculpture, or a drawing – the options are endless. Each year we publish 10 issues of the magazine, so we cannot guarantee that each and every piece will be used. However we will endeavour to use artwork from as many rūnanga, as we can. The end of the year is fast approaching and we are already thinking of potential covers for 2015.
Examples of artwork.
tpr@ngaitahu.iwi.nz. We look forward to receiving all your artwork, whānau.
If you would like your artwork to be considered, simply send the images (as attached JPEG files) to 31
