He Tohu Whakamaarama
Our logo represents the unique and iconic “reti board” that is synonymous with Ngāti Pāhauwera. The “reti board” is a Ngāti Pāhauwera exemplar of an ancient creation of innovation in catching the world-famous Mohaka kahawai. Symbolised within the body of the “reti board” is “Paikea”, revered taniwha of the Mohaka. The Mohaka, Waihua and Waikare rivers are reflected in the logo background.
