HAPŪ LAYS CLAIM TO SCHOOL GROUNDS WITH PEACEFUL OCCUPATIONOvernight wind and rain dampened their tents but not the resolve of Taranaki hapū members occupying land they claim is theirs. About 50 members and supporters of Ngati Tamāhuroa me Titahi hapū have occupied the former Pihama School site on State Highway 45 in coastal Taranaki since January 11, with up to 120 people some days. The peaceful protest aimed to remind the Government and the two iwi whose areas the land lies in, that they wanted official recognition of their hapū and of their historical ownership of the school site, spokesman Garth Weston said www.stuff.co.nz/national/100675382/Hap-lays-claim-to-school-grounds-with-peaceful-occupation
