Welcome to 2008


Aue! Taukiri e! The Year is almost quarter through! Easter has come and gone, and the first Term break is one week away!

The Tītī island whanau are now down on their islands processing tītī. What a good idea for a local Murihiku topic.


The Poha is a traditional vessel used by Rakiura Māori to preserve their tītī(mutton birds).

How is it made?

  • Rimurapa (bull kelp)
  • Harakeke (phormium)
  • Totara bark
  • Tītī (about 18 processed birds)

Demonstrations and background regarding poha can be arranged.

Contact can be made through the RTM's Murihiku.
