Home : Kura Tawhiti Pou Whenua
The pou whenua were installed as part of a significant upgrade to protect the cultural values of Kura Tawhiti and celebrate the important site, in collaboration between Ngāi Tūāhuriri whānui and the Department of Conservation/Te Papa Atawhai (DOC).
The three pou whenua are part of an upgrade to the site, along with new information panels to better narrate the Ngāi Tūāhuriri/Ngāi Tahu history in the area. Ngāi Tūāhuriri is the local hapū, holding rangatiratanga over Kura Tawhiti/Castle Hill.
As in any project of this scale Art Fetiche can provide a range of services and specific applications to enhance the final outcome. With skilled in-house operators and state of the art tech, we add value to the overall impact of a project.
