Biographical information

Biographical information

Contribute ›
    • Son of Pencho Ropiha and Mihi Hirini; husband of Polly Karaitiana Ropiha, of Te Karaka AWMM
    • Polly was NOT his wife and falsified her marriage documents which was proven in court. It angers me that this woman is now responsible for her family claiming the rightful lands belonging to the Ropiha whanau. YOUS STOLE LAND THAT DOES NOT BELONG TO YOU!!! YOU SHOULD GIVE IT BACK.
