Collection: Te Rūnanga-Ā-Iwi O Ngāpuhi

Our logo is a representation of Tuhoronuku.  The kite that Rahiri used to bring peace between his two sons, Uneuku and Kaharau. 
The kite symbolizes its use as a peace maker, dispute settler and icon for bringing the two coasts of Ngāpuhi together and unifying all hapū within Ngāpuhi.  From this event came the famous Ngāpuhi whakatauki. 

Each notch in the wingspan represents the pou or maunga that stand within Te Whare Tapu o Ngāpuhi. 

Ko Te Whare Tapu O Ngāpuhi he mea hanga. Ko Papatūānuku e takoto nei ko te paparahi, ko Ranginui e tū iho nei ko te tauanui.

Ko ōna maunga ko ngā poupou o te whare.
