Pou whakarae

Okay kiddo, so pou whakarae is a really special thing that the Māori people in New Zealand use. It’s like a big stick that stands up straight and tall, kind of like a tree.

People use pou whakarae to show that they are important or to show respect to someone or something important. It’s like a symbol that helps people to remember important things.

Sometimes the pou whakarae is decorated with carvings or bright colors that make it even more special. And when people see it, they know that it's important to pay attention because something important is happening.

So basically a pou whakarae is a special stick that helps people to remember and respect important things, kind of like a big reminder.
