OUR SIGNIFICANCE
|
Tāpoi is a blend of our indigenous cultures.
Our Māori & Aboriginal ancestors are inherent travelers and explorers - across the water by waka (canoe), across the land going walkabout. Tāpoi in Māori, literally means "to travel". Historically, there was no written language for the Aboriginal People. In order to preserve their heritage throughout the generations, their cultural stories are told with the use of symbols and icons that are portrayed in their artwork. Symbolic of a 'well' Tāpoi invites you to 'travel well' as you make your journey across the globe and over the sea to our resting place here in Australia & New Zealand. |
Representing a 'waterhole or well and a resting place' - paying homage to
our Aboriginal Culture. |
