MAORI TOHUNGA

The Speech of Timi Kara

At the conclusion of the service at Wai-o-Matatini on Sunday 23rd March, those in the house turned to discussing Maori matters. Timi Kara said that the craft and sacredness of the works of the tohunga ceased in days gone by; the tohunga in these days are false, they seek money, and they want women.
