Tauranga Moana

Date1993Reference NumberArt 21-155DescriptionTauranga Moana; the local area.
This panel is based on the well-known whakataukī 'Ka pū te ruha ka hao te rangatahi' as it relates to Tauranga Moana. Here the young net (Rangatahi) have gone fishing in search of the things contained in the 'Three Baskets of Knowledge'. Mauao features prominently on this panel, with the morning sun, from which its name originates, rising in the east. Not to be forgotten is the old net (Ngā Kaumātua). They can be found on the many marae around the moana providing wisdom and guidance to the younger generation.

Tauranga Moana; kāinga tata.
E whai ana tēnei tukutuku i te whakataukī, ‘Ka pū te rūhā, ka hao te rangatahi’ ki tā Tauranga Moana titiro. I kōnei, kua haere te rangatahi ki te hao i ngā ‘Kete o te Wānanga.’ Kei te upoko, a Mauao me te rā e ūkura ana, e whiti ana i te rāwhiti, ā, nō kōnei tōna ingoa. Kei wareware i a tātou te hunga pakeke. Ka kitea ēnei kanohi ki ngā marae maha i te moana, e tuku nei i ā rātou whēako, i ā rātou kupu ārahi ki ngā whakatipuranga e heke nei.
