I huraina e Te Puia tētahi waharoa hou hei tohu whakamānawa i te kotahi rau tau mai i te whakamanatanga o te Ture Māori Arts and Crafts i te tau 1926.
E whakanui ana te waharoa i ngā mahi a Tā Āpirana Ngata me tana whakapau kaha ki te tiaki i ngā mahi whakairo, raranga me ngā toi tuku iho a te Māori mō ngā whakatupuranga kei te heke mai.
E ai ki te Pou Tuarā i NZMACI, e ai ki a Ranginui Rikirangi-Thomas, he kaupapa nui whakaharahara tēnei, arā, he whakamānawa i ngā tūpuna i whakapau kaha ki te tiaki i ngā mahi toi a te Māori.
