Kete are traditional carrying baskets woven from plant materials. Made and used by New Zealand's Māori people, kete continue to be an important part of Māori culture today. Although utilitarian, kete have important symbolism for Māoris, as they represent a container of knowledge and wisdom. In this way they are a symbol of the resilience of the Māori people.
