KIA TAU TE RANGIMĀRIE
Let peace prevail
These kupu are often heard as part of karakia. Karakia is a powerful ritual to connect with your atua, to acknowledge your tūpuna, to express gratitude and to settle the mind. Wear this taonga as a reminder that you never walk alone. 
Kupu hou:
Rangimārie = peace
Kupu = words
Karakia = prayer
Atua = god/s
Tūpuna = ancestors

MANA MOTUHAKE
self-determination, independence, sovereignty, authority
Throughout history we have seen mana motuhake been activated by leaders like Dame Whina Cooper leading the Land March Hikoi during the 1970s, Moana Jackson and his challenges to the Crown, and Te Whiti and Tohu of Parihaka.

More recently we have seen the assertion of mana motuhake in the occupation of Ihumatao by the SOUL movement, led by Pania Newton and her whanaunga. 

Mana Motuhake requires courage, resilience and the skills to lead and unite people to execute a vision that sees justice come to fruition for the wider community. 
Wear this one with pride and as a reminder to never back down.
