This term for Matariki, I am learning about Matariki Kites. Matariki Kite’s are mostly known as Manu Tukutuku which is most likely to be formed as a birdman. There is a meaning behind Manu TukuTuku, Manu stands for the bird and TukuTuku stands for the kite to climb through the wind.
I am hoping to make a Manu Tukutuku after I do some good learning about the history of Maori Kites and why they are significant to Matariki.
