This exhibition features Ngati Toa kainga (villages) and pa (fortified sites) that dotted the Porirua coastline and harbours between 1830-1850.

At a crucial period in New Zealand history Ngati Toa Rangatira led by Te Rauparaha moved to Porirua. In these years of the 1820s, '30s and '40s, Ngati Toa settled this land, building more and more kainga and pa. Every pa they created had its own tale and this exhibition gives a glimpse into their stories, and those who built and lived in these settlements.
