Poi Āwhiowhio - Maori Whistling Gourd detailed they are a prestigious giftThe Poi whiowhio is a small gourd with holes attached to a string and twirled to create a bird like sound. The gourd called a 'hue' is a marrow like vegetable brought to Aotearoa and cultivated by Mori. Dried and hollowed gourds had many uses. They were used as musical instruments, containers for water, preserved food and the smaller ones were used as perfume containers. This Poi Awhiowhio was done by Jeremy Walsh from hue gourd with treated chicken
