By the time the first New Zealand branch opened in 1852 it was an established friendly society, providing sickness and death benefits to its members and having a particular concern for widows and orphans. From 1909 their activities were governed by the Friendly Societies Act, which required the compulsory registration of all such societies. The first Auckland Court opened in 1863, and membership reached a peak in the mid 1930s. Since then membership has declined as many of the benevolent functions were taken over by the state.Tangata Hāngāi Ancient Order of Foresters (Maker)Pāohosilk (textile)metal/inorganic materialcord (fiber product)Raraunga Ine2670mm148mmHuinga Kaupapafriendly societiesTaumata whakarōpūSash, FraternalRegaliaStatus SymbolsPersonal Symbols08 Communication ArtifactsWhakahounga o Mua15 May 2023 Tūemi e whai hononga Ngā hua o DigitalNZ Star Wars award Radio New Zealand Star Wars Fan Film Competition Radio New Zealand Sash Te Awamutu Museum Sash Te Awamutu Museum Priest's sash Waikato Museum Te Whare Taonga o Waikato Mea e whai hononga ai E hangaia tonutia ana te kohinga tuihono a Tāmaki Paenga Hira; tāpirihia ai ngā whakahoutanga me ngā pūkete i ia wiki.
