The tuna are released between February and May. This depends on factors like the moon and the weather. I think I heard Maurice say that they karanga them when they return. We think this is part way down Kopuriki Road.

Kotare - this was a bird/kingfisher, and these were indicators of environmental health for areas. If you could see them that meant the area was healthy. This was a very important bird to Ngāti Manawa.

The rivers were boundaries and highways like roads.
Horomanga - Ruatahuna.
Ohutu - Waimana.
Whirinaki - Te Whaiti

# data[].attributes.body
The Horomanga was a main highway through to Ruatahuna. The pa site Rewa Rewa is in the left corner of the paddock as you look from the car park. People would monitor the comings and goings of the river.

Interesting that the same tikanga applies top gathering kawakawa as for harakeke - and any othe kai women shouldn't gather when menstruating for their protection. I had also learned previously that it was to do with the tapu state of women when they were menstruating.

# data[].attributes.body
Kawakawa is used as a medicine to this day, for stomach complaints, general health. You should pick the leaves with holes as the insects only eat the healthy and best ones. Can be steeped as a tea.

Where they walked to fight for land, and that they allowed others to stay on their way through on their journeys.

It's great listening to someone who has such a depth of knowledge and is passionate about his local area. I was wondering where he acquired such knowledge...was it passed down, or did he learn it.
