"Tūrama” (first ray of light at dawn) is the name given to the Tapsell Homestead, replacing the original 1953 dwelling built by Quentin Taiporutu Tapihana for his aged parents Kouma and Enid. Tūrama provides shelter on ancestral lands, which has remained intact under the mana (customary authority) of Ngāti Waoku (descendants of Waoku) for 16 generations.
