Description:
Three scenes in one engraving of the Orakei Maori Parliament of 1879.
The Ngāti Whātua chief Pāora Tūhaere was chosen by Governor Thomas Gore Browne to chair the 1860 Kohimarama conference. In 1879 Tūhaere erected a large meeting hall at his own village of Ōrākei and called it Kohimarama in commemoration of the 1860 conference that had brought together 200 pro-government chiefs to oppose the Māori King movement and endorse government land dealings. There he hosted an eight-day Kotahitanga parliament that discussed land-taking and other issues.
