Te Manu Huna a Tāne: Weaving Kiwi

  • National Library of New Zealand 70 Molesworth Street Wellington, Wellington, 6011 New Zealand (map)

This astonishing book captures a wānanga for women from Ngāti Torehina ki Matakā to learn how to pelt kiwi so their feathers can be used for weaving. Māni Dunlop (RNZ) joins editors, Jenny Gillam and Eugene Hansen, and contributors, Cassandra Barnett and Matariki Williams, to talk about this unique and moving collaboration.

“It is incredible to have this occasion rendered in this form, a beautiful book to hold and look at. Beautiful, and painful.” from a review by essa may ranapiri on The Spinoff
