The Remarkable Reti

Remarkable reti cover.
SJ L3 cover image Oct 2015

by Kiwa Hammond and Duane Culshaw

A reti is a fishing device, used by Ngāti Pāhauwera to catch kahawai on the Mōhaka River. The iwi regard the reti as a taonga, and the article provides a great example of how traditions, along with stories and waiata, are handed down through the generations.
