Raewin Tipene-Clarke hoped that by displaying these taonga (treasures) in the library, Māori would feel at home encouraging them to visit and use the library more often.

In 1991, Tauranga Library staff visited Paparoa Marae, Te Puna, and viewed newly completed tukutuku destined for the wharenui and wharekai of the marae. Two years later, under the guidance of Waina Borell and with the dedicated work of members from the Matua branch of the Māori Women’s Welfare League, and funding from the Community Arts Council, Trustee Bank Bay of Plenty and the Centennial Suffrage Year Trust 1993, the 16 tukutuku were produced.
