Paihamu

Im learning to trap, skin and debone possums. Acknowledging their tapu status in Te Whenua Moemoeā, I acknowledge their stories and grieve their lives as I honour my Tūhoetana in Te Urewera. I uplift Te Kawa o Te Urewera and learn from my tuakana.

Whakakai taiao

Haumi blankets

Ive been obsessed with learning how to sustainably create eco-dyed natural fibre prints from the taiao. I wear them, trade with them and offer them as a tāwharau for special hāpori haumi’s who sometimes need some extra love.
