Collection: Tamatu Tamaora
Nau mai, piki mai, kake mai ki roto te whare e tū nei ko Tamatū.
Tamatū is a movement to encourage our men, our fathers, our brothers, our sons, our nephews to be the best they can be in their lives.
Through active living, language and culture, and environmental awareness we can achieve anything and everything we put our minds to.
Tama tū, tama ora! Tama noho, tama mate!
He who stands lives! He who sits, perishes!
Design: Māori Erstich
The symbol of the Tamatū movement is in the form of a taniwha,
a guardian that accompanied our ancestors here to Aotearoa for a new life,
a new beginning.
Koru - new life, new change
Leg - the physical wellbeing
Arm - the mental wellbeing
Taniwha - spiritual wellbeing
Red - Dedicated to Tū
Black - Dedicated to Rongo
Tamatū!
