Master carver Matahi Avauli Brightwell worked with his daughter, Te Whanganui-a-Tara based artist Taupuruariki (Ariki) Brightwell, to restore the pouwhenua (land marker post) he carved and erected at Tawatawa Reserve in 1981. The carved stone pou was created by Matahi for Bruce Stewart, founder of Taputeranga Marae and includes depictions of important Ngāti Toa rangatira Te Rauparaha and his nephew, Te Rangihaeata, and Te Ātiawa tipuna Wiremu Kīngi Te Kapunga.
The restoration of the pou (March 2022) has seen the addition of a painted base featuring the Tahitian motif niho mango to reference the connection between Māori and Eastern Polynesia.
Visit the restored pouwhenua ‘Te Rauparaha’, near the Quebec Street entrance, or walk up from Murchison Street. Find out more information about the Tawtawa Reserve here: https://wellington.govt.nz/recreation...
