DESCRIPTION
The focus was on ei making and the different purposes
1. Aka’āravei’anga manuiri - For welcoming visitors
2. Tumatetenga - For bereavement
3. Pupu Teretere - visiting groups
4. Ura Papa’a - European dancing The ei is made from different flowers and plants of Akatokamanava i.e. tipani, tiare māori, tiare taina, ara tai, miri and poroiti.
One resource unique to the island is the maire, which is difficult to get, as it grows in the makatea. This plant is self-sustaining, when cut it regenerates. The making of ei tiare and related values connects well with the New Zealand curriculum like mathematics.
