  • Kia ora whanau I am very fortunate and proud to named after Koro Tarei, given to me by my Great Grandmother Mariana Hunter(Hekenui), my koro's older sister. I like to remind my own children how special the name is and how much pride I have in continuing this name Tarei. Nga mihi koutou katoa nga uri o tenei rangatira 'Charles Tarei Taite'.

  • I am a great grand daughter of Charles Tarei Taite. My great grandmother was Maunganui Taite who was married to my Koro Taite. I never got to meet him as he passed away before knowing i existed. Nana Taite and i were very close I have been told many stories about him and always make time to reflect on all his achievements he has done in his lifetime.
