Te Papaīōuru Mārae

​Te Papaīōuru Mārae is a Māori Reservation that was legally constituted in 1973 where a number of whānau (family) land interests were consolidated.  However, the Mārae has been central to Ngāti Whakaue life for several generations since Ngāti Whakaue established its mana whenua (territorial rights) over the area.
 
The Whare Nui (meeting house) is Tamatekapua who captained the Te Arawa waka (canoe) from Hawaiiki to Aotearoa. The Whare Kai (Dining Hall) is Whakaturia who is the younger brother of Tamatekapua.  The Mārae is named after a ngāwha (hot spring) that can still be seen on the Mārae Areare, ‘Ōuru’.
 
The Mārae committee is made up of representatives from the six Koromātua of Ngāti Whakaue as well as representatives from the McRae and Mitchell whanau.
 
The Mārae is a central Mārae for Te Arawa and is referred to on occasion as the paramount Mārae.  Ngāti Whakaue are the kaitiaki of the Mārae on behalf of all of Te Arawa. 
 
Kātahi anō kia whakataukihia te kōrero e whāi ake nei hei kōrero whakatau tikanga mō te Mārae:
 
Ka tū Te Papaīōuru he Mārae matua mō Ngāti Whakaue mō te katoa mō Te Arawa
