Rahia Timutimu
Tūhoe, Ngāti Awa, Ngāti Porou
I whānau mai a Rahia i Whakatāne, ka kuraina ki Te Kura Kaupapa ā-Rohe o Ruatoki. Ka eke ana ki te tekau tau, ka hūnuku a Rahia me tōna whānau ki Ruatorea, ki reira ka kuraina ki Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Te Waiu o Ngāti Porou. Hei tāna, ko te kaha o te kura nei ki ngā mahi mātauranga me ngā mahi hākinakina tonu te take i whai ai ia i ngā mahi kaikawe kōrero. He Tohu Paetahi tā Rahia i ngā mahi whakawhitiwhiti kōrero, ā, e rekareka ana ia ki te aru i te huhua o ngā kaupapa, mai i te ao hākinakina, ki te ao whatu pueru ki ngā mahi whakangahau. Ko Rāhia hoki tētahi o ngā kaiwhakataki matua o Te Kāea i ngā rangi okioki.
