Harakeke uses, tikanga and weaving

Sean Minhinnick —

We learned about harakeke and how it's uses and the tikanga around harvesting it have clear sustainability values for our whenua (land) and the environment.

Students created a poster based on the tikanga or protocols around harvesting harakeke, each student harvested their own piece of harakeke and weaved a putiputi (flower).
