She attended Hukarere Māori Girls' College, where she developed a deep love for Māori culture and became a talented singer, memorising countless songs. Later, Pat shared her passion for music with the community by teaching local primary school children action songs for Ngāti Whai competitions in Central Hawke’s Bay.
Pat was also a strong advocate for the return of the waka to Porangahau, making a powerful speech at a pivotal Ngāti Kahungunu meeting that some believe influenced its outcome. Additionally, she actively supported the Māori Women’s Welfare League, serving as secretary of the Porangahau branch for several years.Wāhi | LocationWimbledon Road|PorangahauTohu Matawhenua | Geo Coordinates^[1]
