TE PAKI O MATARIKI
The Coat of Arms of the Maaori King
“Kia rite ooku uri ki ngaa tini whetuu o te rangi.” Let my descendants be as many as the stars in the heavens.
⠀
Kiingi Taawhiao ordered two priests of the Io religion, Te Aokatoa of Ngaati Raukawa and Waikato, and Tiiwai Paraone of Hauraki, to reproduce the ancient mystic designs of the Tainui priesthood as the emblem for Te Paki o Matariki.
⠀
The central double helix represents the creation of the world. On the left is the figure of Aituaa, misfortune, and on the right, Te Atuatanga, spirituality. The stars above represent the Pleiades indicating the Maaori new year. The cross represents Christianity, the new faith brought to Aotearoa by Paakehaa.
⠀
The mamaku, an edible fern, and para, orchid tuber, on the left of the design are emblematic and represent the food of Aotearoa. On the right stands the niikau palm and harakeke flax representing housing and clothing.
Te Paki o Matariki means “calm fine weather heralded by Pleiades in the sky”.
The royal motto “Ko te Mana Motuhake”, “spiritual prestige set apart”, refers to Maaori autonomy and sovereignty.
Te Paki o Matariki is on display in the Kiingitanga exhibition at the Auckland Museum which runs until 5 May 2019.
