Rangiātea church, Ōtaki
In 1995 New Zealand was shocked by the arson attack that destroyed Ōtaki's beautiful Rangiātea church. Ornately decorated with Māori kōwhaiwhai patterns and tukutuku panelling, the church - built in the 1840s - symbolised Māori and European desires to live peacefully. A replica of the destroyed building was completed in 2003. Archival audio sourced from Radio New Zealand Sound Archives, http://www.soundarchives.co.nz/.
