We listened to the seniors tell us about the Maori legend of
the God, Tu-te-raki-whanoa.
The god Tu-te-raki-whanoa
had just finished creating the landscape of Fiordland, it was absolutely stunning...
so stunning that it stopped people from working. They just stood around gazing
at the beauty instead. The goddess Hine-nui-te-po became angry at these
unproductive people, so she created the sandfly to bite them and get them
moving.
They showed us their art work they produced from this legend.
First they dyed the background 3
colours, then they cut the mountains from black paper. They used some wired to create the big
sandfly and black circles made from the holepunch for a smaller sandflies. Here are some examples of their work.
