Wharehoka Wano
Taranaki Iwi, Te Āti Awa, Ngāti Awa
I ako a Wharehoka Wano i Te Whare Wānanga o Waikato, i Te Kunenga ki Pūrehuroa hoki. Ka mahi ia hei kaiako, hei kaitohutohu mātauranga. Ka whakahaere ia i tāna ake pakihi whakahaere kaupapa, pakihi hāpai mātauranga hoki, i a Tihi Ltd, ki te taha o tōna wahine, o Emere. I tēnei wā, ko Wharehoka te Tumu Whakarae o Te Kāhui o Taranaki, ā, kua mahi hoki i ngā mahi whakahaere huhua. Kua rongonui ia i roto i ngā mahi whakahaere ā-iwi puta noa i te motu. Ko ia te Heamana o Taranaki Māori Trust Board, he taratī anō hoki i Te Kotahitanga o Te Āti Awa.
Ka kōkiri a ia i ngā kaupapa ā-iwi, ā-hapori, ngā kaupapa e pā ana ki te reo, ngā waiata, te toi, te mahi pakihi, me te hākinakina. Ka whakahaere a Tihi Ltd i ngā ahurei tae atu ki ngā mahi ki runga i ngā marae o Taranaki maunga. Heoti anō, i tōna mutunga, ko āna tamariki, ko āna mokopuna te pito o tōna ao.
Ko te mahi a te rangatira i roto i te ao Māori ka kore e mutu i te rima hāora o te ahiahi, hei te Rāmere, ka haere tonu nei, ka haere tonu nei.
