What the directories say
Te Taumutu Rūnanga's marae on the shore of Te Waihora — the mahinga kai heartland of Canterbury. The whare Ngāti Moki opened in 1891 on Moki's own pā site; its defensive ramparts still show as grassy mounds along Pohau Road.

A directory, not a history: name, wharenui, affiliation and address as each rūnanga and the public directories state them. A listing is a lead, not a claim, each marae’s own kōrero lives with its people and is linked, not retold, here. Coordinates pin the marae site as the map layers and directories place it.
