Maori history is is strong and historically important in Tauranga. A visit to the Historic Village will transport you back in time and is well worth a visit, offering a unique view of both origional and recreated buildings with shops and businesses operating in a easygoing environment which is both easy on the eye and calming to the soul.
The introduction of Christianity to the New Zealand Maori appears to have had a more lasting and influential effect than that of the English musket and sword. The Elms Mission House grounds and nearby cemetery document fascinating history in an interesting and culturally balanced way.
