    More support for renaming Ruapehu's National Park Village -- to the original Maori name of Waimarino

    More support for renaming Ruapehu's National Park Village -- to the original Maori name of Waimarino


    Council voted against the name change in 1957 -- but a unanimous notice of motion today, overturned that 66-year-old decision.

    Ruapehu Council's continuing talks on changing the town's title - which will need approval from the geographic board.

    Councillor Janelle Hinch says changing the name recognises tangata whenua, acknowledges the connection of indigenous communities to the land - and its rich history.
