Ōmāhu Marae is located in the small settlement of Ōmāhu, 12 km north-west of Hastings. This memorial stands to one side of the marae, next to the Church of St John’s. Erected by the New Zealand government in 1929, it acknowledges the allegiance to the Crown of Rēnata Tama-ki-Hikurangi Kawepō and his followers during the New Zealand Wars.
