Reflecting our mission the mango pare is stylised as a contemporary kowhaiwhai to represent NIA as a kaitiaki of the mana of Ngaitai. They swim to form a circle which represents the never ending ‘circle of life’ and protection over our mokopuna, the future of Ngaitai.
Colour – The palette is warm and earthy. This is to ensure that Ngaitai is seen as modern, contemporary and standing out from most other Maori organizations, hence the selection of ‘non-traditional Māori’ colours. The green represents the regeneration of life and the black the realm of potential being. The tohu is shown on a light ‘bone’ tint background that represents the Iwi.
The notches make the mango pare distinctively Ngaitai as they represent ‘te kei o te waka o Tainui’ that was given to Torerenuiarua by her father Hoturoa as she alighted from the waka o Tainui and stepped ashore at Torere.
