A tatua is a strong, durable, woven flax belt that was worn by a Maori chief or warrior to carry their most prized possessions and tools. For us it symbolises knowledge, skills, connectedness, strength and the protection of all that is good.
Traditionally handed down from one generation to the next, the tatua represents the protection and advancement of both current and future generations.
