Magnificent Maori Culture

Hi readers!

For inquiry, we have been learning about the Maori culture. We did a task that was to learn about three things (Haka, Korowai, and Ta Moko) and write about how they have changed over time. I did this project with Jhana. These things are important to the Maori culture, which is why we did it.

Ta moko is a type of tattoo. People put it on there face and body using bone tools, and ink. It shows a social rank, and different tribes have different designs.

The Haka is a Maori war dance the maori people perform. It is most famous from the All blacks performing it before their rugby games.

The korowai is a maori clock made of feathers (Paper and real) tassels etc... It shows social status, and many leaders wear them.


 

There it is.

Do you know much about the maori culture? Have heard of these before? Have you tried doing the hake or have you ever worn a korowai?

Until next time!
