Pawa And Kiwa Story.


That is my own Waka i had made using skewers, bark or wood and a piece of special material calico.

Museum Visit: Yesterday, a girl came in a told us about a story named Horotua. She told us some facts we didn't know and questions, Afterwards she told us how to make our Waka and that is how mine came out, Then we made some sand art, You get a Waka and you trace it around with PVA glue and pour sand onto it and there you had sand art!

The story of Pawa and Kiwa: Paoa and Kiwa had a boat or waka Horouta which made landfall in Turanganui a Kiwa (the great standing or waiting place of Kiwa.) The captain of the Horotua was Pawa, the navigator was Kiwa. Pawa was creating the Waipoa and Motu rivers. Eventually he found a suitable tree on a mountain and named it Maungahaumi. After Horotua was repaired it traveled around the East cape and landed at Muriwai then Turanganui a Kiwa, In the Gisborne religion.
