Today on He Pukepukerau, we revisit Otiria Marae situated in Moerewa. It is one of the last few Marae within Ngati Hine that was built out of respect and acknowledgement to the Soldiers of not only the 28th Maori Battalion, but all Soldiers who went and fought in the World Wars. The Whare Tupuna pays homage to the army as its name is derived from The God of War Tumatauenga whom our soldiers also take their name from.
