Story of the Hei Tiki

Hine Te Iwaiwa (the Maori deity for childbirth) was gifted the first ever Hei Tiki (Hei Tiki is simply tiki worn as a necklace), by her father Tane. The Hei Tiki went on to become one of the most prized and precious forms of adornment. It was believed that it absorbed the mana (power and prestige) of the person who wore it and was handed down from generation to generation, a powerful and potent symbol of genealogy and future generations to come.

Hei Tiki has in recent times become a symbol of cultural and national identity, which we think is faaaabulous!
