Tuahiwi
Tuahiwi is a small New Zealand settlement located between Woodend and Rangiora. It is 6 km north of Kaiapoi.[1]
The land on which Tuahiwi was founded was originally a Ngāi Tūahuriri hapū of Ngāi Tahu pā site.[2] With European settlement, the site was reserved for Māori in the 19th century. There was a meeting house on the site in 1870 that almost burnt down.[3] Significant developments included the establishment of a Māori mission which included a church built in 1867. Te Wai Pounamu College for Māori girls was founded there in 1909. It relocated to Christchurch.[1]
