A hapū is a division of a Māori iwi (tribe)—often translated as 'subtribe'. Membership is determined by genealogical descent; a hapū is made up of a number of whānau (extended family) groups.
The literal meaning of the word is "pregnant" which is a metaphor for the genealogical connection that unites the members of the hapū.

Thank you Wikipedia

Hi,

When you were in Owairaka Boys home did you know a guy Joseph Reekers? This email is in regards to the message you posted on kiwibiker. I note you were a resident (for want of a better word) at Owairaka.

(Skalp Hunters were A junior version of the Head Hunters)

Several things I am trying to confirm are as follows.

Was it the Police that destroyed the Storm Troopers after the shoot out between them and Police in Moerewa?

Are the Tribesman the remnants of The Storm troopers?

The first school based Marae was built in Green Bay High School Was it built by the Storm Troopers?

I thionk that's all I have for the moment but would be great to hear back from anyone in the know!!

I use to kick around with a few colorful people back in the day....Owairaka Boys Home old boy and further.. more on that laters.

While you were at Owairaka did you know a guy Joseph (Joe) Reekers?
