Kowhaiwhai Patterns




We saw the beautiful Kowhaiwhai patterns inside the  Hukanui Marae.  We wondered  what Kowhaiwhai patterns are all about?  
Why are there different patterns?  
Do they mean anything special?

Room 16 discovered that the paintings are patterns that tell a story.  
Each design tells a story that is special to the people of that Marae.
