Nga Manu - Birds: St Peter Chanel & Te Kura Kaupapa Maori o Te Rito students' creations

"...Tamariki and rangatahi from two Ōtaki kura were invited to explore the precious ngāhere and manu which flourish in ... Ngā Manu Nature Reserve in Waikanae, and experience art and poetry with Mahara Gallery in Waikanae. Back in their kura they created their own manu for an exhibition during ... Matariki, a time of remembrance and renewal of matauranga Māori knowledge and taha wairua, spiritual health. This pukapuka records and celebrates individual and collective creations, and the restorative qualities of actively engaging with Te Ao Mārama, the natural world, and mahi toi, making art"--Back cover.
