The Hawke's Bay Pasifika Mural

In mid January of 2021, work started on a Pasifika-themed mural on the end of the non-fiction wing of the Hastings War Memorial Library.

This mural depicts the journey that was taken from our early Pasfikia ancestors from their homeland to the land of milk and honey. Along with depicting that journey it shows the past (the left Wall) and the present/ future (the right wall). The designs that have been used in this mural have come from a wide range of Polynesian countries such as Samoa, Tonga, The Cook Islands, French Polynesia, Fiji, Kiribati, Vanuatu, Tuvalu, Solomon Islands, Niue, Tokelau and Papua New Guinea.
