Rotorua" "The ceremonial sashes traditionally worn by senior non commissioned officers of the Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment were altered in December 1993 to include a mokowaewae motif, a Māori Warriors thigh tattoo denoting speed and agility. The then C.G.S. Major General A.L. Birks CB OBE - approached the Māori Arts and Crafts Institute in Rotorua for suitable designs. The mokowaewae motif was designed by a Hauraki Sergeant Tapa Nicholson whose civilian trade is Master Carver with the Māori Arts and Crafts Institute in Rotorua".
