Docking of the Lambs

Sheep docked, lambs chased, fears faced! Now, onto the horses.

With the bush track clear, the whanau returns to brush their trusty steeds.

Puni 7

Fetch Water

The whanau are off to fetch water with Moeariki learning a valuable knot-tying skill along the way. A karakia honors the awa before the water pumps, and a haka marks the end of a job well done.

Lost in the Puihi

Challenge accepted. Papa Ahu equips the boys, assigns a leaf-finding mission, and leads them up the mountain with blindfolds on.

Lost and found. With walkie-talkies buzzing and dogs by their side, the big boys follow clues and gather leaves, navigating their way back to a proud Hiramai who's built a fire.

Puni 15

Hangi Prep

Helping hands, happy hearts. The whanau gathers under spring blooms to prepare a hangi feast.

Puia Hangi

Wet sheets and iron seal the earth oven, anticipation simmering alongside the fire. Then Moeariki and Hiramai join Matua Hugo on a fishing adventure.

Puni 17

A Fish and a Feed

Fishing fun and feasting. Moe and Hiramai reel in joy with awesome catches. The irresistible lure of the puia hangi welcomes them home.

Puni 18

The whanau clears a tree with Ahu's cautionary foot-safety tale. Hiramai keeps the rhythm with a parapapa song while Moe muscles the wheelbarrow.

Puni 19
