Description

Te Peeti Te Awe Awe (c1820-1884), a chief of the Rangitāne tribe, was involved with negotiations and the sale of Maori land for the establishment of Palmerston North. The statue was constructed in The Square in 1907. It was commissioned by his sister Ereni Te Awe Awe and designed by Harold Anderson, a local artist and photographer. Made of white carrara marble, it remains in the same place as it was originally erected.
