100 years ago, one man founded a new faith that gave hope to thousands of Māori reeling from land losses, disease, and war.
Tahupōtiki Wiremu Rātana’s powerful message of peace fused Christianity with Māori self-determination promised by the Treaty of Waitangi. The church and community he established still thrive today.
This mini-exhibition gives visibility and voice to the musical, cultural, and artistic heritage of the iwi Mōrehu, Rātana followers.
