♥♥♥WHAKATAUKI♥♥♥

"Ma te huruhuru te manu ka rere"
"It is the feathers that enable the bird to fly"
"By her feathers, a bird may fly"
This whakatauki come from a cloak. Tainui Rutene and Te Arikinui Dame Te Atairangi Kaahu was secretary sent the description to the nelson people of the special cloak, called “Ma te huruhuru te manu ka rere was made by a student of the Rangihinemutu Korowai Wananga of the Waikato. This feathered cloak or Kakahu is also a symbol of aroha and admiration of the people of Waikato Tainui for their faraway kin who have settled in the Nelson region. In Maori tradition the kakahu could also be a metaphor for friendship support and protection. The kakhu could also in the ancient days save a prisoners life. The Kakahu was worn to weddings or other special events.
