Story: Tūranganui-a-Kiwa tribes
In 1990 the people of Tūranganui-a-Kiwa built a replica of the Te Ikaroa-a-Rauru canoe, which Māia had captained on the voyage from Hawaiki to New Zealand. Pictured here, it was one of 22 canoes constructed by tribes throughout New Zealand for the 150th anniversary celebration, in 1990, of the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi. This photograph was taken after the celebration, when the canoe was returned to Te Poho o Rāwiri marae in Gisborne.
