Maori dyes are traditionally made from natural materials such as plants, minerals, and insects. Some common sources for dyes include harakeke (flax), kōkōwai (red ochre), and kākāpō (a type of parrot) feathers. These natural materials are used to create a range of colors for traditional Maori weaving and clothing.
