Te Peeti Te Awe Awe (c1820-1884), a chief of the Rangitāne tribe, was involved with negotiations and the sale of Māori Land for the opening up of the Manawatū for pākehā settlement. A marble statue of Te Peeti was installed in The Square, Palmerston North, in 1907. Beyond can be seen the spire of All Saints Church and the Grand Hotel, on the corner of The Square and Church Street
