Mau Raakau With Matua Punehu

On Raapare We had Mau raakau with Matua Punehu.
First let me tell you what Mau raakau is all about,
Mau raakau in pakeha terms a maori stick but in maori terms it is called a raakau or a Taiaha, a Taiaha is a kaitiaki of its weilder, that means a Taiaha is the guardien of its owner.
Mau raakau can be a game just like Ariki, Its a game when how ever many weilders of Taiaha, Tewhatewha, mere, Pouwhenua, Patu and other sorts of Maori weapons come together and have a whawhai (fight).

All we did with Matua Punehu was karakia witch was agreable because I dont think we can have a whawhai on our puka moroiti (Chromebook).
