Description

This cemetery, the oldest used by Europeans in the Manawatu, is one of the few reminders of Te Awahou Village. The graves, marked and unmarked, are those of noteworthy Maoris and Europeans. The gardens are symbolic of the peaceful relations that have existed between Maori and Pakeha in the Manawatu - both races lie buried in ground given to the citizens of Foxton by the Maori people.
