Waihonga Magnets - Set of 3

Tuku Iho design speaks to ancestral concepts nourished by Te Ao Māori - the koru elements acknowledging both the action of handing down and reaching upward to receive. This being an exchange between knowledge holders and knowledge seekers.

He Kākano Ahau

"He kākano ahau i ruia mai i Rangiātea, e kore au e ngaro.
I am a seed sown from Rangiātea, I will never be lost".

Rangiātea is an physical and metaphysical place of belonging, a link to an ancestral homeland and source of sacred knowledges and higher learning.

I am a seed - born of greatness. A reminder to strive to reach the greatness of our rich ancestry; to be great as our ancestors were.
