Tene Waitere, 1905

Anei a Tene Waitere i te tau 1905 e tārei ana i ētahi whakawae [mō tētahi whatitoka, mō tētahi matapihi rānei]. I whakamahia ia e T. E. Donne, te ūpoko o te Tari o ngā whare tūruhi me ngā whare hauora, mō tēnei whakairo. Nāwai ka riro te taonga nei i te Whare Taonga o Linden ki Tiamani. Nō te hapū rongonui mō te whakairo, nō Ngāti Tarāwhai a Waitere, ā, i noho ia ki Whakarewarewa i Rotorua.
