Topic: Turangawaewae Marae


In the News (Wed 15 Feb 12)

  
  Turangawaewae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Turangawaewae Marae is the national marae of the Maori people of New Zealand.
It is the official residence and receptiion centre for the head of the Kingitanga - Te Arikinui Dame Te Atairangikaahu, the current and 6th Maori Monarch.
Turangawaewae and all of its unique buildings is a physical representation of the determination of the Kingitanga to not only survive the last 200 years of turmoil, but to prosper and flourish under the leadership of monumental leaders like Te Puea and Te Arikinui Dame Te Atairangikaahu.

With Turangawaewae marae established, Te Puea turned her attention to building an economic base for the people, dependent until now on seasonal wage-labour, and already feeling the impact of the depression.
Her vision of the unity of the tribes was obvious in her enthusiasm for the celebrations in 1950 for the 600th anniversary of the arrival of the 'Great Fleet' of traditional voyaging canoes, conceived by Ngata and Peter Buck as a series of national hui.
She welcomed the various Christian churches back to the marae, but was particularly close to the ministers and deaconesses of the Methodist church, some of whom were good friends and advisers.

Americans were also welcomed onto marae in Gisborne, and Wellington's Ngati Poneke Young Maori Club made regular visits to the hospital at Silverstream to entertain the patients with waiata.
The enthusiastic interest which the Americans showed in Maori culture may be seen, not only in the remarkable photographs of them indulging in haka, but also in the surprising fact that a number of wounded soldiers took up Maori carving as occupational therapy.
