Whare Maori

Whare Karakia (1x4)

: 05, 2011

The whare karakia, or church, represented a marriage of European and Māori architectural concerns. This episode looks at some of the finest examples of this early collision of cultures. We visit:- Rangiatea Chuch, Otaki (Ngati Raukawa)/ Toko Toru Tapu Church, Manutuke (Rongowhakaata)/ Motukaraka Church, Northland/ St Faith’s Church, Rotorua (Te Arawa).
