Abstract

Like yesterday’s newsfeed most people, whether Māori or Pākehā, are ignorant about the traditions of their ancestors.  However, like today’s cellphone, those ancient traditions were constantly on hand for their Māori ancestral users, and referred to in everyday activities to inform, communicate, create, entertain, and survive in their world.
