In the News (Sat 18 May 13)

  
  Mangareva
Apakura lived in Mangareva and her son Tinaku-te-maku, a handsome youth, sailed to Rangitea to pay court to a woman of rank.
Apakura called up to the birds, asking if they had seen her son alive.
Among the many chants in the story is the lament of Apakura for her dead son, the last verse of which refers to the myth that the moon dies every month but, falling into the Living-waters-of-Tane, comes to life again.

 NZ Folk song * Pätaka Waiata
Ngati Apakura used to live at Rangiaowhia (near Te Awamutu), at Ohaupo, and in the district extending to the Waipa River in the direction of Pirongia.
But after the Battle of Orakau in the Waikato War in 1864, Ngati Apakura were thrust out of their homes by the British troops despite the fact that they had not been armed and took no part in the war, and their lands were confiscated.
Ngati Apakura travelled on south to Taupo, settling at Waihi and Tokaanu on the southern shores of the lake.

 Making a Name Change or Choosing a Baby Name - What you need to know about name meanings
Although the name Apakura creates the urge to be reliable and responsible, we emphasize that it can cause a superior, interfering expression whose favorite expression is "I know" when not combined with a balanced last name.
Your name of Apakura gives you a clever mind, good business judgment, a sense of responsibility, and an appreciation of the finer things of life.
You are serious-minded and not inclined to make light of things even in little ways, and in your younger years you had more mature interests than others your age.
