On the bird mugs I painted te korowai o Mihiwaka, the cloak/forest of the Orokonui Valley which is where these native birds live.

I completed weaving the Korowai "He kākano" months ago but have only just found the time to gift it to my mokopuna, Rangiātea.

Together, we hid away from the World.
Just for a moment 😊

I'm paakehaa but I do know that there are many different types of Māori cloak.
They usually get called korowai when they actually aren't.
Probably worth a read.

Another portrait from Korowai. Visited a small tribe for 2 days.

I did cut the photo under the waist so Blsksy should not label it as nudity. For your information, they are only dressed in a leaf, see previous pictures from Korowai.

Dec 2019 - once down the short but reasonably steep Mānunutahi Track, one is rewarded with this lovely, secluded stretch of beach.

One of my sons is getting married tomorrow. He'll be wearing over his suit a Korowai woven by his great great grandmother Rangimarie.
He's getting married in a Whare carved and woven by his Koro and Nanny.
Getting married - surrounded by love and Tipuna

The Korowai people live in the inaccessible jungle in the southeast of the Indonesian province of Papua, about 150 kilometres inland from the Arafura Sea. They build homes over 30 meters high in the jungle canopy. [📹 Aníbal Bueno]

I don't even recognise this past life.

Prime Minister Ardern addressing local iwi, gathered dignitaries, & tourists like myself on my first pilgrimage to Waitangi celebration, a mere 6 weeks before the first covid lockdown.

44) I like Orokonui Ecosanctuary - Te Korowai o Mihiwaka. Having a local biodiversity haven is great.

The Korowai, an indigenous people in Papua, Indonesia, build treehouses, 'rumah tinggi', up to 40 mts high. Made totally from natural forest materials, no nails, no modern tools. Their genius homes protect them from both dangerous animals & flooding 💚
