About the Role
In Maori history Tane one of the most strategic Atua was chosen to ascend the heavens to attain the 3 kete of knowledge. These kete contained the wisdom knowledge and practices that we would need to navigate our journeys within our world. Without these choice uniqueness and beliefs would be removed. Whiro Tanes brother also wanted possession of these kete for his own gain to be in possession of all knowledge which allows him to sit in a position of secrecy and power. Although Whiro challenged Tane at every point on this journey Tane had the support of the whanau and wider community which enabled his success.
