Hand-weaving Maori clothes using materials from the land at Te Puia Maori arts and crafts Institute within Whakarewarewa in Rotorua on North Island in New Zealand. With the threatened loss of traditional Māori arts, the school was established to safeguard and continue the tradition in a location well-established for traditional Maori arts and crafts. The school allows easy access to visiting tourists which continues to be a substantial source of sales.
