Ngā mihi o te tau hou kia koutou katoa. Introducing Maia Octavia Ruri, born 11 September 2016 in Perth to proud parents Tane Ruri and Desire Hattingh. Maia’s dad is Ngāi Tahu through his koro from Kaikōura.
Ngā mihi maioha to our Ngāi Tahu iwi for gifting Maia with her pēpi pack and her unique and ataahua taonga when she was registered. We were totally delighted with all her taonga.
Here she is wearing her “Ko Tahu – Ko Au” singlet with her ataahua pounamu, next step is to sign her up to Whai Rawa so she can have a tumeke start for her life. Nō reira, nei rā te mihi ki a koutou katoa. Nanny Kim and Koro Alf.
Maia Octavia Ruri.
