Ahu or altar of the Marae Hauviri or Marae Taura’a-a-tapu, family temple of the Tamatoa clan, at Taputapuatea, at Te Po, in the Opoa valley, on the island of Raiatea, in the Leeward Islands, Society Islands, French Polynesia. This marae holds the Te-Papa-tea-o-Ruea, or white investiture stone, brought by the god Hiro to found the chiefdoms or ari'i on Raiatea. Hauviri was the welcoming marae which received visitors as they disembarked from their canoes. This site was a meeting place and sacrificial site for travellers from all over the Pacific.
