Keeta by Gottfried Lindauer

Artwork Detail

Keeta lived at Oakura, near New Plymouth, in sight of maunga Taranaki, the sacred mountain of the Te Ati Awa people. She took part in pulling out survey pegs on land in Waitara, delaying the mapping of Māori land for Pakeha purchase. The dispute over this land eventually led to the first New Zealand land wars.
