Puketeraki Marae visit

Below are some photos of our fabulous trip to Karitane.
Matua Brent did a terrific job of guiding around the marae.
We were officially welcomed during a powhiri ceremony and morning tea followed.
During the rest of the day we took turns at 3 of 4 diffeent activities: poi, flax (harakeke), traditional musical instruments (Nga Taonga Puoro) and long rakau - taiaha skills. The team leading us were very skilled and gracious hosts.





We had a wonderful day - Enjoy the photos
