"Mā te wāhine, mā te whenua ka ora ai"
Nau mai e ngā oranga o ngā mana wāhine o Papatūānuku, o Hineahuone. Ko te ūkaipō o Hineahuone te pitomata nō te kōpū o Papatūānuku. Ka puta mai te ira atua, te ira tangata ki te whei ao, ki te ao marama, tīhei mauri ora.
Kurawaka is the birthplace of Hineahuone found at the kōpū of Papatūānuku. The poutama pattern acknowledges this whakapapa and the inherent connection between ira atua and ira tangata. This piece pays homage to our atua wāhine and the creation of life.
