    Pahewa, Hakaraia
    He was educated at Te Aute College (his two sisters went to Hukarere Native Girls' School), then undertook training at Te Rau Theological College in Gisborne from 1889. He was deaconed on 10 March 1895, and appointed to serve as curate of Te Kaha Maori District in the diocese of Waiapu, along the coastal road from Opotiki to East Cape. He was priested on 20 December 1896, and then appointed vicar of the district. His ministry lasted for 44 years, until 1939, but he lived there until his death.Pahewa was a keen gardener and grew vegetables (especially kumara) and flowers. He was also a skilled photographer whose work was published by the Auckland Weekly News. Some of his photographs have historical significance; for instance, those he took of Hukarere school during the Anglican synod there in 1918. Others depict local scenes, including whaling at Te Kaha. He carried his photographic gear with him when doing his parish rounds, and developed his own plates.
