Kia Ora! (Hello)


My name is "Rori" Pokeka I am originaly from Aotearoa (New Zealand) Southern Island Tai tapu. I came upon your web site by try to find a pow wow here in Kansas.
I moved here years ago to visit my Nanny who moved here to New York. I met a Native girl out there and we moved out here to be nere her family.
In many ways our Maori people have same history as youres.
I try to teach our ways to people that want to learn. Out here not to much Maori I am think of going back home.

I hope to read a lott while here. I see many humor people in you to.


Good day.
Rori

It is thanks to your culture that I started carving bones.
Chi Meewetch (many thanks)!
Before I just did the same as my neighbours, tossed the bones out, now I smile when I finish with a bone carving, thanks to your culture I am still learning.

[MaoriTanga]

Bone carvings? yes. You must have steady strong hands/finger.


We have a many great bone carvers. my pap gave me hei matau (like a good luck charm in a way) before I came to USA that he make. Jade is what we use a lott to.


Good to meet you Tibiki Kinew.

I also use soapstone and antlers. It widens my horizon and it stops me from being labled. I saw a site with the fish hooks your culture makes, really cool! I carve feathers with and without fetishes inside of the feather design.

I've said it a million times before, Maori's and Natives are exactly the same, the only difference is that cool a$$ accent Maori's have! =)

Theres alot of pow wow's here in KS. Check out the Calender section, theres always something going on.
