Question
“Hurry up, this way,” I say to my brother Kai excitedly, leading him quickly by the hand through the crowded museum. We wind our way through the busy corridors until we reach the exhibit I’ve been waiting to show him. I watch his face as he looks around the room at the clothing on display, taking in the skirt made from bark and intricately woven flax and the cloak made from kiwi feathers. I wait for him to smile, but instead he seems confused.
“What’s so exciting about these old costumes?”, he asks, disappointed.
I start to frown, but then I remember that I was confused when Nana first showed me the exhibit a few years ago. “Remember Nana’s stories about the Maori side of our family? Long ago, when they first came here to New Zealand, they learned to make clothes from plants and animals in order to survive. We might live in the city now, but this is part of our family’s history. Nana even has friends who have learned to weave the same way that our ancestors did long ago.” I start to say more, but then I notice that Kai has inched closer to the exhibit and is staring intently at the feathered cloak.
