Meaning
- He Whakaputanga o te Rangatiratanga o Nu Tireni The 'Declaration of Independence of the United Tribes of New Zealand' The He Whakaputanga or United Tribes flag was created in 1834. It was necessary for Māori to choose a flag so that they could continue to participate in the major trading markets and adhere to navigation laws for ships to operate. The flag came to represent the He Whakaputanga Declaration, which is often described as the tuakana to Te Tiriti o Waitangi. It was a declaration to the world that Māori were a sovereign people and an independent state. This was signed in 1835 at Waitangi and sent to Britain where it was recognised and reaffirmed by King William IV.
Proudly Māori-owned and family-operated business, located in Auckland, New Zealand. Specialising in Pounamu and Bone with a diverse range of Maori-inspired treasures and gifts.
