This Māori design draws inspiration from a story of a great white shark guiding an ancestral canoe to Aotearoa through misty skies.
Adorned with shark teeth motifs, it symbolizes protection and strength, while the koru patterns represent new beginnings and growth. This piece honors the courage of our ancestors and acknowledges their connection to the land and sea. We carry this mana with us, embodying their legacy in our lives today.
This is in honor of the tokotoko passed down from Hamiora Mangakahia, my great great grandfather, a taonga tuku iho in our whanau.
