Then and Now

We have been learning about the olden days and comparing what we do now to what people used to do. This is some of what we have learnt. We also wanted to know what our awa might have been used for in the olden days and now.
The awa was used for collecting kai, water, transport (waka), fun, washing and bathing. Now we mostly use our awa for leisure and recreation like swimming, kayaking and eeling for fun.
