For the past two years, planning has been underway to restore Tumutumuwhenua from the damage caused by the fire in 1990.
Involved in the restoration is the weaving of tukutuku, carving and kowhaiwhai.
The whakairo is the first part of the restoration to begin.
Today, Katera Maihi joins the line of eminent Ngati Whatua carvers---Henare Toka (Master Carver), Allan Nopera, Murray Pihema and others---who have had the honor of carving the whare tupuna o Orakei Marae.
