The pataka was  mounted on piles, usually several feet from the                  ground,  and situated within the marae area. Within the pataka were stocked  preserved goods \u2013 dried fish,                  flesh, and also weapons  or mats. It symbolised the rich resources                  of the tribal  chief, and was a source of great mana (prestige)                  to  the tribe. Only war canoes were second to the pataka in prestigious                   ranking. The pataka was usually tapu (under sacred  protection).&#8217; Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/history-nz.org\/maori1.html\" target=\"_blank\">NZ history site<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image of a pataka, or storehouse, taken during a visit to the &#8216;Maori: Leurs tr\u00e9sors ont&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5148,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[455,456,454],"class_list":["post-3434","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-writings","tag-maori","tag-musee-du-quai-branly","tag-pataka","comments-open","no-comments"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3434","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3434"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3434\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3436,"href":"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3434\/revisions\/3436"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5148"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3434"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3434"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3434"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
