Iwi the Kiwi
Created by Te Arepa Teki
Iwi the Kiwi is a representation of a deep connection to our New Zealand culture, heritage, and environment. The “Ara Moana” pattern reflecting the ocean, Te Moana Nui A Toi, adds a powerful connection to the sea, while the Moko designs reflect the Mana and role of Iwi as a Kaitiaki (guardian) of the land of Aotearoa.
