CARVED POU RESTORED AFTER THEY WERE VANDALISED, CHAINSAWED DOWN
A Far North iwi has restored two carved pou which were vandalised and cut down by a chainsaw.
They mark the rāhui area banning all fishing and seafood gathering along more than a kilometre of the coastline and one nautical mile out to sea.
Members of the kaitiaki committee will set up camps near the pou during the summer.
Piripi said this would allow the iwi to share their cultural information.
"It creates a presence on the beach that people can see and hear and feel and appreciate - our status as Tangata Whenua will be recognised more and respected more."....
