Opotiki - Opotiki is a small town in the eastern Bay of Plenty. - Opotiki has a large Māori population that exceeds 50%, making it one of the few towns in New Zealand to be predominantly populated by Māori. - When peace eventually came to the district, most of the cultivable land had been taken by British settlers and was converted to sheep and cattle (later dairy) farming. - The district lost men to the two World Wars, but an even greater blow was the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918-1919 which devastated small villages.
