The Trip to Lake Ianthe

 When we went to lake Ianthe yesterday, We harvested Kuta, KieKie. First We went to get some Kuta from the lake. Some of the boys went into the lake with gumboots that did not keep any water out whatsoever. We had to pull the Kuta out by the roots. Because we are using them for weaving, we needed longer pieces so that we have more to weave with. After that, we went to get the Kiekie. Kiekie is like flax but it has two white lines in the middle that are good for weaving. We had to take out a whole branch to get a sufficient amount of it, and we split the white lines with our fingernails and put the rest back underneath the bush. We were also allowed to go swimming. We were jumping off the jetty and it was so fun.
