Tahi Takao

He mema, he kaumātua hoki a Tahi o te Iwi Health Board o Te Kaunihera Hauora ā-Rohe o Whakatū. E hia kē nei āna tūranga i Te Tari Toko i te Ora, i te Canterbury District Health Board, i te Rolleston Prison Board, i te Nelson Bays Primary Health Organisation Board, ā, ko te hauora hinengaro tāna tino aronga i te roanga ake o āna mahi. He ika a Whiro a Mr Takao i te pakanga i Korea. He Kaiwhakawā Tūmatanui hoki ia. Tokoono āna tamariki, 28 āna mokopuna. I te tau 2001, ka whakawhiwhia ia ki Te Tohu Hapori mō āna mahi takawaenga i waenganui i te iwi Māori me te iwi Pākehā.

Te rangatira Māori – ko te whānau te mea nui. I muri atu o tērā, ko te hapū, ko te iwi. Rangatira Pākehā – ko ngā hereni me tana whānau tonu. Koirā, ki ahau, te rerekētanga o ngā rangatira Māori ki ngā rangatira Pākehā.
