    This Pouwhenua (Maori Totem) stands in front of the Christchurch City Council. The name "Te Pou Herenga Waka" means "a stake that brings people together".

      Pouwhenua or pou whenua (land post), are carved wooden posts used by Māori, the indigenous peoples of New Zealand to mark territorial boundaries or places of significance. They are generally artistically and elaborately carved and can be found throughout New Zealand.[1]
