Māori kites are commonly referred to collectively as manu tukutuku or manu aute. Manu can mean a bird or kite, tukutuku refers to the letting-out of a kite line. Aute is a tree-bark fibre traditionally used by Māori for kite construction. Kites were flown as a pastime, for communication, during war, and to support spiritual practices. Kites were also flown to celebrate the appearance of Matariki, the Pleiades star system, which heralded the start of the Māori new year. Traditionally, there were various types and forms of kites. These included the triangular manu taratahi, the diamond (or oval) manu pātiki, the rectangular or cross-shaped upoko tangata, the manu aute which took a bird or human-like form, and more.
