Te Rā Ringa Raupā: Te Karanga o Te Rā

Pop in and see the display that follows the journey of Te Rā Ringa Raupā, a group of Northland weavers who took on the challenge of recreating the Māori woven sail Te Rā, a call made by Te Rā herself and later reinforced by Te Rangihiroa (Sir Peter Buck) in 1922. His challenge to revive the ancient techniques and knowledge behind the revered sail was completed 100 years later by the group.

Explore their journey of reclaiming traditional weaving skills and the creation of Hine Mārama and Māhere Tū Ki Te Rangi, Te Rā’s younger siblings. See the process behind recreating this taonga and the group's dedication to preserving our cultural heritage.
