Commemorative Figures for Te Kooti

 Carved figures commemorate Te Kooti's pardon.

      In 1883 Ngati Pukeko of the Eastern Bay of Plenty, constructed a meeting house (Awanuiarangi) which they presented to Te Kooti to commemorate his pardon by the government.
These carved figures are from that meeting house - today they can be seen in the foyer of the Whakatane library.
