In Māori culture, a rāhui is a form of tapu restricting access to, or use of, an area or resource to help protect it.
There is a rāhui in place in the Waitakere Ranges at the moment to help protect Kauri trees from kauri dieback disease.
In this story, the characters place a rāhui on their strawberry patch. I like it because it reminds me of our connection to nature and of our school value of Kaitiakitanga.
