Te Tapuwae is a M ori cemetery located close to Otenuku Marae in Ruatoki, in the Bay of Plenty Region of New Zealand. It is where tribal leaders of the Ngai Tuhoe iwi are traditionally buried, most notably chief Tamarau Takurua. In Maori folklore the cemetery is said to be protected by a powerful tapu which will curse anyone entering the cemetery without permission of the marae kaum tua. On leaving the sacred cemetery, visitors must always wash your hands with cleansing water.
