As with other Maori artistic traditions, kite-making involved certain rituals.
和毛利人的其他艺术传统一样,风筝制作也包括一些特定的仪式。
All this meant it was easy to see a kite in the sky but you could also hear Maori kites.
这一切意味着我们可以轻易看到在天空中的风筝,但你也可以听到毛利人的风筝。
You can imagine that when Maori first arrived in the new country, in New Zealand, it may have taken some time to find suitable materials for their kites.
