Pet free and Smoke free home! About Zuni Poi Swings: Zuni Poi Swings are a new twist to an old game. Poi balls traditionally are made with woven yarn and a ball of plastic or material on the end. Zunis are designed to float nicely behind the weighted head of the Zuni showing the orbits made by the poi and adding to the beauty of the activity. History of Poi: Poi was originally used, many years ago by the indigenous Maori people of Polynesia to increase their flexibility, strength in their hands and arms as well as improving coordination. Poi was also used as a form of entertainment and as a game by the Maori women in New Zealand. In the days of yore the Maori women were not allowed to speak in the presence of their men or Council so they resorted to doing something with their hands in the form of a dance or a game using the POI. To watch a Maori dancer perform with the poi is to be mesmerized by their skill and dexterity. It is said that in the old days only women of high rank knew how to dance the poi, and they jealously guarded this knowledge from the lower classes. To the Maori, POI means ball at the end of a long rope. The original POI were made with flax leaves rolled into a ball. Traditionally, the poi balls themselves were works of art, decorated with taniko designs in geometrical shapes and sometimes adorned with feathers or long white dog's hair.
