Te Manu Huna a Tane: The Hidden Bird of Tane by Edited by Jenny Gillam and Eugene Hansen

$45.00 NZD

Category: Maori

This special photo book documents a wananga or class for three generations of women from Ngati Torehina Ki Mataka to learn the customary practice of pelting North Island brown kiwi so their feathers can be used for weaving.

It also brings a greater understanding of conservation efforts and, in particular, of how the Department of Conservation Te Papa Atawhai works closely with tangata whenua. ...Show more
