TE TAUIHU TURANGA WHAKAMANA
Our Māori seafaring ancestors were sailing confidently around the pacific ocean centuries before European sailors dared to go further than the eye could see, fearing they would fall off the edge of the world.
Accordingly this carving is shaped in the form of a Tauihu to give recognition to our early explorers and to represent the pride and respect we have in our canoe culture.
