We learnt about Sir Hekenukumai Busby he is a tohunga who made over 20 waka, we were privileged to stand on his 2nd boat he made for his wife which is called Ngahiraka Mai Tawhiti. The first waka he made was to prove to pakeha that us maori who found Aotearoa wasn't a fluke. So he made his first waka called Te Aurere he made this waka and sailed to rarotonga and other islands and back by only using stars to prove that we didn't find Aotearoa by a fluke.
We also learnt about hoe (oar) we learnt several different commands but man there hundreds more. It was very fun but you had be very disciplined.
It was a fun experience and i would like to learn and do more things around this kaupapa.
