Ōtūmoetai Pā (Place)

SummaryWhat was known by local iwi as one of the principal pā sites in the area, Ōtūmoetai became a stronghold for the people of Ngāti Ranginui and Ngāiterangi over the centuries. Located in close proximity were also the pā and kāinga of Matuaiwi and Oreanui. It was also the site where the Roman Catholic Mission station was established in 1840, above the flat plateau where whare and fortifications once were situated.
