Tributes

In the creation of a significant asset that provides a holistic community service encompassing education, health initiatives, cultural and spiritual values and aspirations, the people that contributed their time energy and commitment should never be forgotten. 

When people talk of the work of Kokiri Marae Seaview over the past 28 years there are many people past and present that this could be contributed to and to name them all would be difficult. Some of these include Kara Puketapu, in his role then as Secretary of the Maori Affairs for his vision in shaping the policies around Tu Tangata which was the genesis of Kokiri Centres.

The negotiating and building skills of ‘Pop Tuhaka’ and the driving force and determination of Keriana Whakataka Olsen QSM for her Leadership.
