Ki o Rahi
Ki o Rahi is a Maori sport based on a legend of Rahi. In the Legend of Rahi, Rahi’s wife got abducted by a second tribe so Rahi went on a mission to get her back. In the end the two tribes make peace and decided to make a game for people to play and they called it …. Ki o rahi.
In Ki o Rahi what represents the legend are the Te Roto, Te Ao, Ara, Po and Tupu. Te Roto and Te Ao are the two zones. Po are the 7 poles around the outer circle which represents the 7 stars of Matariki, the ki is the flax ball which represents the flax basket that the moa eggs were in and te Tupu represents the rock that Rahi got stranded on.
To make the playing field you need to make a 3m radius circle and then put te tupu in the middle. After that make another circle around that one and make it 2m bigger than the other circle. Do the same thing again exept 2m around the 2nd circle.
