The Maori at Tamaki Village are so proud of their culture that they love to recreate it and share it with anyone who will come see. They danced, sang, told us stories of their ancestors, and taught us about what life used to look like for them. The night ended with a hangi dinner- one prepared in a traditional earth oven.
