This year I celebrated by making this manu tukutuku. I have never made one before, was nice to cut raupo and toetoe and follow a YouTube clip to learn how to thatch it all together. I enjoyed spending time listening to Dr Rangi Matamua and practised saying Mānawatia a Matariki whenever I could. I spent time collecting native seed and planting trees in community projects. So good to connect to the land through arts and planting and learn more matauranga maori.
