Description | WhakamāramaKo Tauaiti te Wharenui
Ko Hineaorangi te Wharekai
Ko Te Kutaroa te Marae

Te Kutaroa marae is located on Matakana island, and its principal hapū is Ngāti Tauaiti. Ngati Tauaiti are the descendants of Tauaiti and Hineaorangi, not to be confused with Tauaiti, son of Tuwhiwhia. Te Kutaroa was prominent in the 1800s and 1900s. During the 1970s, access to the Marae site was compromised. In 1981 the Hapū decided to bury the Wharenui with
aspirations of building a new marae complex in the future. The mauri of Tauaiti and Hineaorangi
were taken to Opureora Marae for safe keeping. Geolocation | Wāhi^[1]Collection | KohikohingaNgā Marae o Ngāi Te Rangi
