Topic: Tawa


In the News (Fri 25 Dec 09)

  
  Tawa (tree) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tawa is often the dominant canopy species in lowland forests in the North Island and north east of the South Island, but will also will often form the subcanopy in primary forests throughout the country beneath podocarps such as Kahikatea, Matai, Miro and Rimu.
With such large fruits the Tawa is notable for the fact that it relies solely on the Kereru (New Zealand Woodpigeon) and, (where present), the North Island Kokako for dispersal of its seed.
Tawa can also support significant epiphyte gardens in their canopies, which are one of the few habitats known to be frequented by the enigmatic, arboreal Striped skink.

 Tawa
Tawa, in his role as Wi, the Dakota sun-god, fell in love with her as a result and in doing so accidentally alienated Pawa who fled briefly from Shipolo in disgrace.
As the sun god, Tawa could watch from heaven over his son’s descendants, but became displeased as they were forced to give up their lands to invaders from far to the east.
Tawa responded the call to arms by commanding the purifying effects of the sun against the entity, but the attempt only frustrated Demogorge who absorbed him and the other gods sent to stop him one by one.

 Tawa History - Tawa History Articles by Bill Secker
Tawa Flat’s pioneering days on one of the original farms cut out of the bush are recalled by Elizabeth Greer together with her brothers and sisters had to pitch in and hand dibble wheat between the tree-flened stumps.
Though the history of Methodism at Tawa may appear to be a somewhat parish pump affair which is only of interest to its adherents, this is far from the case for the funding of this non-conformist church along the Porirua Road is a story of co-operation which was repeated throughout the country in colonial days.
Tawa Flat, being situated on the main road north, would not have been an isolated district and ministers could preach to the Methodist community as they moved around their scattered circuit or when appointed to other areas.

 Amherst College News Releases: Wako Tawa
AMHERST, Mass.—Wako Tawa, the William R. Kenan Professor of Asian Languages and Civilizations at Amherst College, has received a grant of ¥ 3,384,795 (~$30,000) from the Shoyu Club in Tokyo to disseminate to high school teachers her “meta-linguistic approach” for teaching Japanese and “step method” for learning the language.
The Shoyu Club, founded in 1928 to promote Japanese culture through the use of the language overseas, considers Tawa’s unique approach, which she originated at Amherst College, a significant improvement in the task—often considered impossibly difficult for Americans—of acquiring the Japanese language.
Tawa will use the grant from the Shoyu Club to reconfigure the teaching space for instruction in Japanese at Amherst, providing face-to-face interactions for the students to work together.
