Thousands pay tribute to Sir Toby Curtis at Lake Rotoiti

From Checkpoint, 5:55 pm on 22 August 2022

A genius, a ninja, and a gentle giant who loved his people. Just some of the words used to describe Sir Toby Curtis, the Māori leader who died last week.

Thousands poured through his marae at Lake Rotoiti over the past four days to pay tribute to the late Te Arawa leader.

Jamie Tahana was there for the final day.
