THE YOUNG MAORI PARTY [TE ROPU TAITAMARIKI]

At the Hui of the Te Aute Association held in Rotorua on 13th April past the constitution and the name of the association were broadened to enable everyone to join – men, women, young people and elders. Its name in English is ‘The Young Maori Party.’ The newspaper gave this name to the Te Aute Association. It is a very good name though and a name that is easy in the English language; it is difficult if one turns to the Maori version.
