Since their ancestors arrived in Aotearoa New Zealand and discovered the useful properties of harakeke (New Zea land flax), Maori have used flax leaves to create baskets, mats, housing materials, clothing and cords, ropes and fishing nets. In weaving and the patterns used, Maori record their histories and stories, passing on their culture, genealogy, values and beliefs, weaving together people and communities. In this book, the text and detailed photographs show the steps in selecting, preparing and weaving flax. The origins of weaving are described, and images show the traditional and contemporary uses of weaving, the intricate patterns and the beauty of the finished products, including mats, baskets, cloaks, piupiu and art works using flax and modern fibres such as plastic, wire, ribbon and paper. Through the book, Maori traditional stories and concepts about weaving are told, giving a rich picture of the place of weaving in Maori culture.
