This school holidays, our Māori Services team bring you activities for tamariki.
Today: Ngā Whāinga – Challenges - RARANGA.
Raranga is a term for Māori weaving. It is used to make mats, baskets and a number of other things. Anyone can raranga and there are a number of courses available in the community to learn how to raranga.
