Ko Pine Taiapa

Pine Taiapa, 1940s

I tīmata te mahi whakairo a Pine Taiapa ki Tikitiki, i raro anō i te awe o tētahi tohunga whakairo o reira. I te tau 1927 ka noho koia tētahi o ngā pia tuatahi ki Te Wānanga Toi Māori o Rotorua. Nāwai ka ako ia ki te toki kapukapu, ā, 100 te huhua o ngā whare nā tōna ringa tōhaunui i hanga. Anei ia e mahi ana i ngā whakairo mō te wharenui a Ngāti Kahungunu ki Nūhaka i tuwhera ai i te tau 1949.
