8 WEEK INTRODUCTION TO RARANGA PROGRAMME
8 WEEK INTRODUCTION TO RARANGA PROGRAMME
We have been busy in our community providing an opportunity for our local wahine to learn and gain the skills and knowledge for mahi raranga.
We were very fortunate to be funded by CREATIVE NEW ZEALAND to develop an 8 week introduction to raranga programme and successfully deliver it to the Kāwhia Community.
Kāwhia is a small rural community and opportunities as such dont come easy here in Kāwhia, if at all!
It was fulfilling to be able to pass down the skills and knowledge to my community and for that i am truly grateful. To share this journey with my community and for them to share with thier whanau!

HIKOI TO RUAKURI RESERVE NATURE WALK
We finished our programme by taking all the Tauira out to a local native reserve where they were able to identify native trees for traditional dying and weaving resources.
We also learned how to dye using the barks and leaves. Tauira really enjoyed this!!
