Today we were looking at different kind of waka, we looked at Te Waka Tiwai. I was in a group with Kymaira-Lee, Natalija and Amahri, this is the information we found.
1. The name of this waka is the waka Tiwai
2. The waka tiwai was ideal for carrying small portions of people at a time, they were also called waka peke because they were mostly used for racing. They’re so light they are able to jump over wooden beams hence the name waka peke.
3. It was stitched together with flax rope and pegs that held it together which would help it sail when wet. It is made out of hollowed out wood.
4. It was made for fishing and to travel on water
5. The Tiwai waka can hold 50 or less people
I found it hard because no-one in my group helped me. What is your favourite type of Waka?
