Early in the 20th century, Rua Kenana founded a religious community at the foot of Maungapohatu, a mountain sacred to Tuhoe in the heart of the Urewera region. By 1907 around 600 followers were living there with him. The building shown here was the focal point of that community. Called Hiona (Which means ZION), it was the community''s meeting house and courthouse. It was built in 1908, it was circular, 13.5 metres in diameter and nine metres high. The decorative patterns of blue clubs and yellow diamonds were inspired by playing cards. The circular temple was demolished and replaced by a more conventional meeting house in about 1914. While Rua''s ideas were worthy the community operated on a cooperative basis and was based on non-violent principles Maungapohatu was too remote, and bitter winters, bad housing, and a poor diet meant that by 1913 the community had reduced from more than 500 people to about 30 families.
