Māori used kites for many purposes including fishing, surveillance through divination, carrying away grief and sorrow, and predicting the weather. But their most important role was - and is for some Māori - a conduit between the physical and spiritual realms, bringing messages to the deceased or specially prepared kumara to sustain Matariki for the coming year. ​
