The Enduring Tukutuku
Found in local "marae" (meeting houses and centers), as well as in many offices, the making of a tukutuku often requires team effort due to the elaborate and time-consuming weaving and stitching involved. The Maori wall panels continue to be a representation of both the survival of an indigenous art and the survival of an indigenous people.
