Summary

Description Te Peeti Te Awe Awe (c1820-1884), was a Rangitaane chief (Rangatira) who played a significant role in early relations between local Maori and European settlers. This commerative statue was carved from Carrara marble by an Italian sculptor, based on a design by Harold Anderson of Palmerston North. The statue was constructed in The Square in 1907. It was commissioned by his younger sister, Ereni Te Awe Awe, with funds raised by the Rangitaane people. In Te Awe Awe's right hand he holds a mere (a short flat club) and on the pedestal are words spoken by him in Maori before his death in 1884, which translate as "I have laid the foundations of friendship for you to bring to completion".
