Summary

[edit]
Description The top three carvings are of Rangitāne and his grandmothers, Reretua and Hinerau and were returned following restoration in April 2021. The lower two carvings are of Te Rongorito and her mother Hineaupounamu as wāhine from the Waikato marae that Te Marae o Hine drew its name and kaupapa from. These two carvings have been renewed as new representations with a mix of Waikato, Rangitāne and Raukawa traditional carving styles. While the carving style of the main bodies are reminiscent of Rangitāne, the white eyes with black dots and pākati, carved notches, are representative of tohunga whakairo Hokowhitu McGregor, a master carver of Ngāti Raukawa. The pair hold turuturu​, sticks used in the process of weaving cloaks. They symbolise the space where the sacred thread, or aho tapu, connects the people of Palmerston North.
