Koriniti
Koriniti is a settlement 47 kilometres (29 mi) upriver from Whanganui, New Zealand, home to the Ngāti Pāmoana hapū of the iwi Te Āti Haunui-a-Pāpārangi.
The Māori settlement of Operiki was one of the larger on the Whanganui River, with a population of about 200. In 1848 the village was abandoned and a new one built in better agricultural land nearby at Otukopiri,[1] renamed Koriniti by the missionary Richard Taylor, a Māori transliteration of Corinth.[2] The marae, still known as Otukopiri, has three wharenui:[3] Hikurangi Wharerata; the original whare Te Waiherehere, restored by Hõri Pukehika in 1921;[4] and Poutama, moved across the river from Karatia (Galatia) in 1967.[2] Ōperika pā, the original home of Ngāti Pamoana, is nearby.[2] In the 19th century Māori at Koriniti raised £400 to build a flour mill, which was completed in 1854, the same year as the Kawana flour mill near Matahiwi.[5]:108
Across the river from Koriniti, and reachable only by boat or cable car, is the Flying Fox lodge.[6]
