Te Maori

Te Maori (or sometimes Te Māori in modern sources) was a landmark exhibition of Māori art (taonga) that toured the United States from 1984 to 1986, and New Zealand as Te Maori: Te Hokinga Mai ('the return home') from 1986 to 1987.

Te Māori was the first time Māori art had been exhibited internationally in an art context instead of as part of ethnographic collections. The involvement of tangata whenua and iwi throughout the exhibition process had an impact on the development of museum practices in New Zealand and globally in regard to Indigenous and source community authority. The exhibition and its subsequent effects on the cultural landscape in New Zealand were considered a milestone in the Māori renaissance.
