Te Pou-o-MangatÄwhiri (performing troupe) was formed in 1921 under the guidance of Princess Te Puea Herangi, niece of KÄ«ngi Te Rata, the third MÄori King. In 2005, with the blessing and support of the late MÄori Queen, Te Arikinui Te Atairangikaahu, Te Pou-o-MangatÄwhiri underwent a revitalization and has focused on performing arts as a medium for reviving stories, songs, dances, and other gifts handed down by their ancestors. Today, Te Pou-o-MangatÄwhiri participates and performs at various special tribal and Kingitanga occasions as well as the 2011 Rugby World Cup and World of Music Arts and Dance (WOMAD) events.
