The Ruaka Hall at Ranana, Whanganui River, New Zealand
Ranana is a settlement 60 kilometres (37 mi) up the Whanganui River from Whanganui, New Zealand.
Originally known as Kauika, it grew after 1848 as local Māori moved out of fortified pā settlements in peacetime.[1] It was renamed by the missionary Richard Taylor in 1856 for Rānana,[citation needed] a Māori transliteration of London.[2] The town's Catholic church, built in the 1880s for the hapū Ngāti Ruakā of the iwi Te Āti Haunui-a-Pāpārangi, is still in use.[2][3] Nearby is Moutoa Island, site of a famous battle in 1864.[4]
Ngāti Ruakā and Ngāti Hine Korako have two traditional meeting grounds in Ranana: the Rānana or Ruakā Marae and Te Morehu meeting house, and Te Pou o Rongo Marae and Tūmanako meeting house.[5][6]
