Description: Photographs of Maori men, presumably members of the Kotahitanga Maori Parliament; there is a large photo of Meiha Keepa Te Rangihiwinui in the middle of the portraits. Many of the names on the collective photograph of (presumably) Kotahitanga members have been lost. There is also an illustration of a tree with no leaves, showing the tenets of the Church of the Seven Rules of Jehovah. Arrangement: Negatives at F 179644 1/2 to F 179676 1/2 Quantity: 33 b&w copy negative(s). Provenance: The originals from which these copies were made belonged to Mr George Te Whaiti (d 1964) of Greytown. George Te Whaiti was a man of standing in the South Wairarapa community both Maori and Pakeha. He was also associated with the affairs of Papawai Pa as his father had been before him. The portraits are probably members of the Maori Parliament which met at Papawai. The Church of the Seven Rules of Jehovah was a small sect supported by Maori mainly in the Wairarapa and Marlborough. When George Te Whaiti's house was demolished in the early 1970s the family stored items from the house, including the originals of these photographs, in another house at Pirinoa.
