NZMACI, as it has been known, now will become a legacy institution of Te Puia in the tourism sense. It's become a centre of excellence for Māori arts and crafts, a tradition carried on still today, teaching many of our children. We see it, for example, in the creation of Te Whare Raranga, the first weaving school, in 1969 and in 2009, with the opening of Te Takapū o Rotowhio, the national stone and bone carving school. We also see it in the more recent opening of the waka school, Te Wānanga-a-Kupe Mai Tawhiti.
