Papawai

Papawai is a small settlement near Greytown, Most of the residents are Maoris, who visit Greytown frequently, and contribute a good deal to the trade of that town. There is a public school in the district, at which both European and Maori children attend. Football—a favourite game with the Maoris—is well represented here, there being two clubs, the Kotahitangas and the Huias. The former of these recently visited the South Island and defeated a Canterbury Maori team—the N'tu Ahuriri—at Kaiapoi, and also a European team.
