Iwi: Te Āti Haunui a Pāpārangi, Ngāti Maniapoto, Te Whānau a Apanui
Description: Painted Sculpture
Te Heke Ngahuru- the Autumn migration of eels was a sign to store kai such as tuna for sustenance in preparation for colder months approaching.
The concept of Te Heke Ngahuru was used to inform legislation surrounding the integral wellbeing of ‘Te Awa Tupua (Whanganui River Claims Settlement) Act 2017’. We often consider stories to be a distant pastime, yet they continue to sustain us in this present day.
Materials: Manuka wood, Shell pigment: pink/purple made of Common Mussel (Scientific name: Mytilus Edulis), Earth pigment: Kokowai, yellow earth pigment sourced from Te Motu-Ārai-Roa, reddish/orange earth pigment gifted from Kānaka Maoli of Maui, Hawai’i
