Whāriki: Mahinga Kai

Located in Victoria Square (near Colombo Street).

‘Whatakai ka kī, Whakahuanga ka hora.’ ‘A full storehouse, a bevy of allies’. Te Marino Lenihan.

This whāriki (one of three in Victoria Square) depicts the customary rights of gathering and harvesting natural and cultivated foods and other resources from the land and waterways. 

These designs symbolise edible delicacies such as manu (birds), ferns, vegetation and fish.
