Maramataka workshop (part 1) - Nikau Hindin & Hinerapa Rupuha
For the opening of Nikau Hindin: Kōkōrangi ki Kōkōwai at The Dowse, Nikau was joined by apprentice navigator Hinerapa Rupuha (Ngāti Kahungunu, Te Whānau a Apanui) and indigenous activist and voyager Raihania Tipoki (Ngati Kahungunu, Rangitāne) for a very special workshop.
Together, they explored the relationship between the star compass, used for celestial navigation, and the Maramataka (the Māori lunar calendar).
Listen to the first part of the workshop, as Hinerapa speaks about constructing and reading the star compass, a framework for finding direction using the stars, ocean swells and currents.
Nikau Hindin: Kōkōrangi ki Kōkōwai is on at The Dowse from 20 June – 4 October 2020.
