Did you know the Kāi Tahu word for hat is 'whareama'?
...and did you know 'tarika' is the kupu Kāi Tahu for 'ears'?
You can find out all of this and more by downloading these two awesome, full colour pictures outlining the Kāi Tahu words for names for Kā Wāhaka o te Tinana (the parts of the body) as well as the names for Weruweru (clothing).
The resources are brightly coloured and funky enough to brighten the walls of anyone's whare - especially the kids rooms!
