Maniaiti Marae (Wallace Pā)

Maniaiti Marae or Wallace Pā is a marae in Manunui, 8km south-east from the outskirts of Taumarunui, in the central North Island of New Zealand.

Members of the marae are mostly the descendants of Nehuora and Te Wakatahurangi Te Warahi (née Chadwick), the latter being better known as "Nanny Maraea". Nanny Maraea was a staunch and well-respected matriarch, and was responsible for much of the marae's development. Nehuora was also greatly respected and performed the duty of delivering the family's children. It is thought he may have delivered over a hundred children during his lifetime, possibly many more as it was not restricted to just his family.

The marae is also known as Wallace Pā,as "Warahi" was transliterated to "Wallace" during the time when Māori people were being encouraged to take European names.The Wharenui,meeting house was Nanny Marea's own family house.The house was moved from up above on her farm and placed as part of Maniaiti Marae.Maniaiti translates to small flats,Now though many descendants of Warahi, and Chadwick and many family or whānau have other names, including Chadwick, Roderick, and Te Wano.
