Wairau Bar

From NZHPT website

Wairau Bar is a site of great significance to Rangitane, and for understanding the history of New Zealand. It was probably one of the first places settled by people arriving from central Polynesia. The excavation here investigates the moa hunter site, and prepares for the repatriation of Rangitane tupuna (ancestors) to their original urupa (burial place). You can follow the archaeological excavation by visiting
