TŪROU HAWAIKI NECKLACE

Tūrou parea, Tūrou Hawaiki.

May the ancient homeland of Hawaiki glisten on in mind's eye forever

 

Simply translated this whakatauki can be understood as ‘May the force be with you’. Or the full version is, "May the ancient homeland of Hawaiki glisten on in mind's eye forever".

The phrase "Tūrou Hawaiki" is commonly used as a kīwaha in everyday speech. Hawaiki is understood to be the place of origin for Māori.

In the Far North, we believe that when someone passes on their spirit goes to Rerenga Wairua (Cape Reinga) and enters Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa (Pacific Ocean) to travel back to Hawaiki.

This taonga reminds us of heritage, ancestry and identity.

 

Kupu hou:

whakatauki = proverb

kīwaha = colloquial saying, slang

tūpuna = ancestors

Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa = Pacific Ocean

taonga = precious, treasured, of great value

 

This beautifully crafted pendant necklace is also available in another design: AKE AKE AKE. Get both, one for you and one for a friend! 

Rerehua Boutique Stainless Steel Jewellery is non-tarnish, hypoallergenic, durable, beautiful and long lasting pieces that should be handled with care. Avoid contact with chemicals, chlorine or other liquids.
