Te Tapuwae
Te Tapuwae is a Māori cemetery located close to Otenuku Marae in Ruatoki, in the Bay of Plenty Region of New Zealand. It is where tribal leaders of the Ngāi Tūhoe iwi are traditionally buried, most notably Tamarau Takurua. In Maori folklore the cemetery is said to be protected by a powerful tapu which will curse anyone entering the cemetery without permission of the marae kaumātua. On leaving the sacred cemetery, visitors must always wash your hands with cleansing water.
