Last week we were very fortunate to be given the chance to learn about and board Sir Hector Busby's waka, Ngahiraka Mai Tawhiti. It is an exceptional, double hulled waka built with traditional rope lashings and made out of kauri timber. It is a thing of beauty. We also learnt some waka drills and about how those who journey on this waka use star navigation or way finding on their voyages.
It was an amazing opportunity and we are so thankful to have had that experience.
wow I really wish I could go on there or wait a minute I did go there and it was really fun because we were learning new stuff about the Waka and hoi and playing games Maori games.
