pouwhenua
Pouwhenua or pou whenua (land post), are carved, wooden posts, or are fighting staffs used by Māori, the indigenous peoples of New Zealand. Pou whenua are wooden posts that mark territorial boundaries or places of significance. They are generally artistically and elaborately carved and can be found throughout New Zealand. Pouwhenua are fighting staffs that are long-handled with a club-like broad head for striking.
== Cultural significance ==
Much like totem poles, pou whenua tell a story. They are significant to the Māori people, representing their contributions to the cultural heritage of the New Zealand. They acknowledge the association between the people (tāngata) and the land (whenua). Specifically, they reflect the relationship between the ancestors, environment, and the reputation or standing of the tangata whenua.〔
