Fostering toi Māori: New generation graduates from New Zealand Māori Arts and Crafts Institute

#HePūrongo Nine master carvers and weavers have officially graduated today from the prestigious New Zealand Māori Arts and Crafts Institute, marking a significant milestone for the future of toi Māori. Hailing from the institute's three distinct schools - Te Wānanga Whakairo Rākau, Te Takapū o Rotowhio, and Te Rito o Rotowhio - these graduates were celebrated by whānau and friends at Rotowhio Marae today. And our reporter Maioha Panapa was there and filed this story. #ToiMāori #MātaurangaMāori #NZMACI Aukaha News - Te Tai Pūkōrero --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS • Facebook:   / aukahanews   • Instagram:   / aukahanews   • TikTok:   / aukahanews   • YouTube:    / @aukahanews5169
