What's happening at Wairarapa Moana
Wairarapa Moana Exhibition
An exhibition on the history of Wairarapa Moana is to be held in the main gallery at Aratoi, Wairarapa Museum of Art and History, in Masterton proposed to commence October/November 2010.
The centrepiece of the exhibition will be the 14.4meter waka taua currently held at Te Papa. The waka, originally a fishing canoe belonging to Ani Hiko, was collected from Wairarapa Moana in February 1905 and taken to the Dominion Museum. The name of the waka, Te Heke Rangatira, commemorates the movement of Wairarapa Iwi in the 1820's to Hawke's Bay.
If you have anything relevant to the Wairarapa Moana stories that you would like to share, we would like to hear from you. We are particularily interested in material i.e. images or objects, including taonga that could be displayed relating to Wairarapa Moana and the settlement of Pouakani.
For further information contact Haami Te Whaiti, Curator Maori, Aratoi. Phone 06 370 0001 or email haami@aratoi.co.nz
