Carving of Tawhaki

Kei waho o te whare pukapuka ki te Whare Wānanga o Waikato te poupou a Te Puna Wai Mātauranga e tū ana. E pā ana tēnei ki a Tāwhaki rāua ko tana taina a Karihi, me tā rāua takina e tō rāua kuia kāpō ko Whaitiri. Ki ngā kōrero tuku iho he tūranga nui tō te kaumātua ki te arataki i ngā mokopuna, me te whakatakoto whakatutukinga mā rātou.
