Ko Mauao Te Maunga

Te Maunga ō Maunganui (Mauao):
The outline of Mauao in this design is taken straight from the view of the maunga from Oikimoke Te Puna. It is from this point where you can see the face of our tupuna maunga.

Whakamārama ō Ngā Tohu Iti :
These small triangles surrounding the Te Ara Moana pattern are symbolic of Nga Patupaiarehe ō Hautere – the bush fairies of Hautere. They are the personification of what it means to work as a team. When Mauao needed help to be dragged out to Te Moananui ā Toi, the Patupaiarehe had to work together as a team to complete such a mammoth task. Through working together as a team we can move mountains.
