Matangireia : A Space for Maori in Parliament

Celebrating 100 years of Matangireia - the former Maori Affairs Committee Room at Parliament.

The opening of this room in 1922 was the result of years of dedication by important Maori political figures working in close collaboration with leading Maori arts practitioners and experts in Matauranga Maori to bring a space to life that was created by Maori, for Maori, and with Maori.

This book tells the story of this special place, and its significant people. It is Maori history, art history, political history, and social history, all told through the creation and enduring legacy Matangireia.
