What is the Maori word for Landmark?

There isn't a single, direct Maori word for "landmark" in the way we might use it in English.

However, depending on the specific type of landmark you're referring to, some potential Maori words or phrases could be:

* Tūrangawaewae: This means "place of standing", and can be used to refer to a significant location with historical or cultural importance.

* Wāhi tapu: This translates to "sacred place" and is often used for sites with religious or spiritual significance.

* Tohu: This word means "sign" or "symbol" and could be used for landmarks that are easily recognizable.

* Pouwhenua: This refers to a "boundary marker" or "land marker" and is used to indicate the borders of a territory.

Ultimately, the most appropriate word in Maori would depend on the specific context and the type of landmark you are referring to.
