Te Hau Tutua and Te Waaka Mei are active at Whakatane, as is Tamiti Kruger among his Tuhoe people. Carved meeting houses are still being built in various parts of the country. Te Hau Ki Turanga is the oldest fully carved house. It now stands at Te Papa Tongarewa, the Museum of New Zealand, in Wellington. Despite the innovations introduced by many carvers, this great wharenui remains a prime example of the best and most beautiful traditional arts of the carver.
Many men now wear moko on their faces and on their bodies.
There are also many women with moko on their chin, their arms and occasionally their bodies as well. Several ta moko artists have emerged as the great names in this field. Best known are Derek Lardelli , Rangi Skipper and Laurie Nicholas. This rapidly developing artform is popular among Maori youth, especially among the performing artists involved in kapa haka groups. Tukutuku are panels made from reeds and stitched with a variety of symbolic geometric designs.
