Untitled[edit]

I am reverting the redirection of this article to Phormium, because while phormium is possibly the predominant raw material used by Māori to make textiles, a number of other plants ( pingao, raupo, kiekie) were also used in areas where they were available, along with dog skin (kuri). Thus this article should be developed as an umbrella article with the other articles in a supporting role. dramatic (talk) 21:52, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Alright. It's going to have to be expanded quite a bit, though. The Phormium#Use by Māori section is longer than this whole article. I'd advise moving most of that section over into this article, leaving a summary there, so it doesn't look redundant.--Aervanath lives in the Orphanage 02:43, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Once you've got this article expanded enough, I'd put a different summary as a new section on the Māori article, as well.--Aervanath lives in the Orphanage 03:12, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Possible plagiarism; copyedit needed[edit]

Content in Kahu kurī seems to be copied directly from the Museum of New Zealand Website, particularly from details about objects in the collection (such as this one). Heddles (talk) 10:15, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
