Jade's Museum trip

Jade's museum trip

On the seventh of the tenth I went to the Auckland museum. Here is some information about waka:

At the bottom of a waka taua there are sticks tied together.

Can you see where the sticks are tied together?

On the bottom of the sides there are patterns.

It is the Pohoro. (It means speedy)

This is hoe the Maori use them in there waka taua 

This is the pattern Pohoro

This is the ancestor on the waka taua

It has paua shell for the eyes.




Now lets get on to the fishing waka

This is a fishing waka as you can see the bottom of the the waka, has no sticks at the bottom like the waka taua.



This waka does not have sticks because it needs more space.

Here is the hoe for the  fishing waka
