The Waitaha Grandmothers Executive Council advise that the Rangatira Te Porohau Ruka Te Korako has retired from his work for the Nation of Waitaha and in connection with the claim Wai 1940.
We acknowledge and are grateful for his past advice, direction and expertise in maoritanga and tohunga -matauranga.
The Wananga of Waitaha were his conception.
He played a major part in reopening the Greenstone Trails, where both Te Ika o Maui and Te Waipounamu Waitaha were involved.
We wish him well in his retirement.
