Iwi Activities - Kahungunu Ka Moe... Ka Puta

The late Tohara Mohi was researching at the National Library for documents relating to the kawa of Kahungunu and came across the Carnell photograph collection of Kahungunu tipuna. From that he sought to find out who they were and had a mini display at Mihiroa Marae called "Nohou Ou Tipuna Pea?"

Kahungunu Ka moe... Ka puta... emerged from this research and was held at the Hawke's Bay Exhibition Centre in 2001. At first it was a multi arts disciplinary exhibition retitled Kahungunu Ka Moe Ka Puta Te Hononga Mareikura and was hosted at the National Library in Wellington in 2002. In 2004 it was exhibited at Wairarapa and in 2006 it was exhibited in Wairoa.

Organisers are planning for the exhibition to take place in Tamaki Makaurau in the near future.
