- Ngāi Tūāhuriri Story: Ngā Hau e Whā
- dc.description
- The story of the city’s urban marae, Ngā Hau e Whā, built from 1981 onwards, begins in the migration of Māori from their tūrangawaewae to cities. The marae project is linked to a desire among city elders to move Māori out of the city centre to the east.
