Te Whare ō Maraenui

Te Whare ō Maraenui Ko Pukemokimoki te Pa e takoto nei ki roto i Te Whare o Maraenui 1872. Hill was leveled and transferred to Maraenui. Ko Te Whare O Maraenui Te kaupapa.

Te Whare o Maraenui continues to serve as a cornerstone for community-led arts and cultural projects, providing a platform for rangatahi to engage in creative endeavors that celebrate their heritage and identity. Māori, believe the human footprint leaves a certain amount of their hau (vital essence) in every footprint he or she makes. Their identity springs from their connection with the land, sky

and sea. To learn of the name's origin, you would need to fill your basket of knowledge. “Whaowhia te kete mātauranga”

Hei Matau Kahurangi Parāoa - Greenstone & Whalebone Fishhook Pendant
⎆ https://shortlink.store/cyrq6lbxjcaj ⎆

The treasures and vital sustenance of Tangaroa, kaitiaki (protector) of the ocean, required our tūpuna (ancestors) to be expert mariners. The lines and curves not only represent abundance and prosperity but also safe passage across life's journeys, echoing the voyages undertaken by those who first explored and settled the vast Pacific.

This hei matau was carved by Eli Fehoko and Samuel Potter from humpback whale bone and kahurangi pounamu sourced from Te Wai Pounamu, Aotearoa. It measures 112mm by 29mm, has a glossy finish, and is bound with an adjustable hand-braided cord.

Hei Toki Koru Raukaraka - Greenstone Adze Spiral Pendant
⎆ https://shortlink.store/kdkm1_9f6ktb ⎆

With expertise and power the carver wields the adze. Relied on for survival in ancient times, traditional tools are imbued with significance and meaning. The toki epitomises the artistry and skill of the craftsman, protector and provider. Of great mana (prestige), to wield the toki is to wield strength.

Koru, the quintessential Māori pattern, represents growth, transformation, potential, and peace. Taken from the fern frond found throughout the forests of Aotearoa, koru represent the growth and transformation, the potential and peace found in the whenua (land). They are gifts of love and friendship.

This hei toki is a part of a set with the other half available here.

This hei toki with double koru was carved by Aden Hoglund from raukaraka pounamu sourced from Marsden of Te Wai Pounamu, Aotearoa. It measures 46mm by 19mm, has a semi-gloss finish, and is bound with an adjustable hand-braided cord.

Rei P**a Raukaraka - Greenstone Tooth Pendant
⎆ https://shortlink.store/d_kiw6pnr_op ⎆

Often considered descendants of Tangaroa, whales whakapapa to Māori and are highly regarded tūpuna (ancestors) symbolising abundance and strength. Rei p**a symbolise this connection, with the carver taking the form of the rei niho parāoa (s***m whale tooth) and infusing it with their own inspiration.

This rei p**a was carved by Trent Lawrie from raukaraka pounamu sourced from Marsden of Te Wai Pounamu, Aotearoa. It measures 90mm by 60mm, has a glossy finish, and is bound with an adjustable hand-braided cord.
