This is the very pinnacle of heritage and culture for Taranaki, Patea is one of the few places now that still have awesome traditional structures like this! The waka was constructed in 1933 so it’s over 80 years old and commemorates when Patea was first settled in by Turi and his hapu. On one side it has a paragraph explaining in Maori, the right side has the same paragraph but translated into English so many can learn this story!
