Ārai Te Uru Marae

Ārai Te Uru Marae (also spelt Āraiteuru Marae) is a pan-iwi marae, in Wakari, Dunedin. It is named after Āraiteuru, the ancestral ocean-going canoe and is the first urban marae in Aotearoa. In a 2025 public statement to the local city council, the marae describes itself as "a taonga — an irreplaceable cultural, economic, and social asset that stands not only as a beacon for Te Ao Māori in Ōtepoti Dunedin but also as a welcoming inclusive hub for all people."
