Traditionally, poi and tī rākau sticks were used by early Māori as a way to keep their hands and flexible for flax weaving and also as a training tool to build strength and coordination for using weaponry like the Mere or Patu.
Today, poi and tī rākau sticks are a fundamental element in kapa haka performances.
Your child might have come home asking you to make a poi for them to practise with at home, or perhaps you’d like to make one as a gift. Maihi has the inside scoop on how the pro’s do it and Stacey is joining him for an akoranga (lesson) on poi and tī rākau making - the expert way.
