2007: Pukemokimoki Marae opens in Maraenui

Pukemokimoki Marae Aug 2016 7 small

In the early 1960's, Maraenui, Onekawa, Pirimai and Napier South were settled as people moved from rural areas into the city. By the end of 1999, many of the families in these areas had a history spanning four or more generations and the dream of having a marae in Napier was born.

While the dream was still strong in the 1970's and 1980's, there had been little progress with the actual construction.

A concerted effort at the end of the 1990's provided the foundation for the construction of Pukemokimoki Marae and it finally officially opened in 2007.
