    Dame Tariana Turia is being remembered as a dedicated politician


    Her family have confirmed she died at Whangaehu Marae in Whanganui in the early hours of this morning.

    Dame Tariana first entered Parliament as a Labour List MP in 1996 -- in 2004 she founded Te Pati Maori after splitting from the party.
