NEW! Hunters and Gatherers: Practitioners of their time
Te Ao Māori encompasses a profound understanding of te taiao, the natural world.
Pre-European Māori were particularly resourceful, expertly utilising the natural elements around them. They developed innovative tools and structures to hunt, gather and fish for their tribal communities. In this lesson, ākonga will have the unique opportunity to engage with replicas and handmade, interactive 3D models of these tools and structures, experiencing firsthand the skills and ingenuity of their ancestors. Support material including pre and post visit activities and information will be provided on booking or by request,
