What does Waitangi Day represent?
Waitangi Day is a time to reflect on who we are, where we come from, and how we move forward together. It reminds us that identity and connection are built through understanding, respect, and continued learning.
Significance for Rangatira
The Rangatira represents standing strong in identity and values. This taonga reflects leadership grounded in whakapapa, discipline, and service. It is a reminder that true strength is shown through consistency, humility, and the ability to guide others forward.
What is a koikoi?
Traditionally, the koikoi was a long spear sharpened on both ends, used with a two-handed grip to strike and parry.
At Tekotiri, each taonga carries its own mauri, reminding us that every journey is unique. More than rākau, they are pathways of connection, guiding whānau back to their whakapapa and forward into their own journey.
