		1. Taonga of Aotearoa, treasures from New Zealand, Maori design bonecarvings. How to carve... ^Votes:0 How to carve a bone This will be a short introduction in how to create a simple bonecarving... Thanking Joe Katoa (carver) and Robert Wilson (tutor in carving) for all their information. We will start with: 'Cleaning the bone...' First you soak the bone in warm water for about 2-3 hours, the meat that is still attached to the bone will get soft and it will be much easier to scrape off. Also remove the marrow from the centre with a knife. After the scraping you leave the bone in water with a bit of bleach and washing powder for another 20 minutes. This will get rid of the oils... If you want the bone whiter, just leave it a bit longer... Again, scrape the bone and use a bottle brush to clean the inside of the bone. Then the bone will be left to dry. You can leave the bone in the sun to dry Read More Go to Site

		TAPU ^Votes:0 TAPU Ko te tapu te mana o nga atua. 'Tapu is the mana of the spiritual powers'. For many people today tapu means 'forbidden' or 'restricted'. For some there is the added connotation that if the tapu is not observed something bad will happen. On the evidence of Maori writings of the 1840s and 50s, 'forbidden' or 'restricted' is not the only meaning of tapu, nor even its primary meaning. The primary meaning given to tapu in this study is made up of two elements, one from reason and the other from faith. Both elements link tapu with mana. The element from reason sees tapu in its primary meaning as 'being with potentiality for power'. The element from faith sees tapu as the 'mana of the spiritual powers', of Taane, Tangaroa, Tuu, Rongo and so on. To look on tapu only as 'being with potentialit Read More Go to Site
