This model wharepuni (meeting house) has been designed to be both fun and educational. Learn the names of each individual interlocking part and build and dismantle the whare until you become familiar with the construction and name of each component.
Of course traditional Wharepuni are unique to the iwi (tribe) and the rohe (area) and the styles may differ to the one presented. The names may also differ however, it is up to the learner to place his/her own identity within the whare. Paint, decorate and make your own unique Wharepuni to be proud of.
The model displayed is based on wharepuni unique to ‘Te Awa o Whanganui’ with two windows. We are able to make minimum changes to produce a generic wharepuni with only one window and a wider front door distinctive in other rohe. Perhaps learning and teaching the differences between the whare further enriches our own set of knowledge.
