Whakataukī


Ko te hōkai nuku
Ko te hōkai rangi
Ko te hōkai a tō tupuna a Tānenuiarangi

This whakataukī was gifted to Community Research by Leon Hawea at the time of our creation. It tells how Tāne asended to Te Toi-o-ngā-rangi, the highest heaven, to obtain ngā kete o wānanga – the three kete (baskets) of matauranga (knowledge) – for all to share. 

Ngā mihi nui to artist Izzy Joy who created the beautiful illustration. Read how Izzy created this for Community Research here.
