  • 3 Manu Aute

    Maori for kite
    Kites were flown both for amusement and for more serious purposes. When a war party was about to attack a pa of an enemy, a kite was flown. Only a tohunga or a man of high rank could fly a kite, reciting a karakia when the kite was ascending. The kite's flying pattern would indicate certain omens to the tohunga.
