Ki o Rahi

A traditional Maori  ball game (which is played around te Ao)  based on the Purakau which has Rahi, a legendary figure, feeding his tupuna, in the form of a large rock, with his 'mauri' contained in a small kete, or 'ki'.

Oraka-Aparima Runaka (Colac Bay and Riverton) hosted tamariki from 7 of their local schools to have friendly games with each other. This event was held at Takutai o te Titi Marae on the 'old' school field.
