Our products are unique, of a high calibre and marketable primarily to Maori and Pacific families.  A personal alternative to what is currently being offered in the market place.

There is a distinct difference we believe in mass production to genuinely handcrafted Waka that makes for priceless, irreplaceable products.  We will stand by this timeless craft passed onto us through our Whakapapa (Lineage) and Tipuna (Ancestors) as our guiding strength in what makes our business stand apart from others.

Initially our focus is in supplying Quality Handcrafted products throughout Aotearoa (New Zealand) with the intention of exporting Internationally.

The industry itself is very strong globally and in constant demand for quality products and outstanding service - all vital components of Te Kaihanga Maori Arts Ltd.

About Our Company Logo

Above Image: "Te Kaihanga Maori Arts - In Life & Death"

Our Company Logo was designed by our nephew Caleb Broederlow aka Tainui_Moko, who lives on the Gold Coast of Australia with his whanau (Caleb's Mum Christel is Kere's first cousin).

Our Logo (pictured above) is titled "Te Kaihanga Maori Arts - In Life & Death" with the following interpretation provided by our nephew...

In life there is death, in death there is life - interweaving. 

With one inevitably comes the other...

Life (the top part of the logo) interweaving with death (the bottom part of the logo)

Above Image: Main Banner Logo Design

The arched path (ocre) that crosses through the main Banner represents Papatuanuku (Mother Earth). 

When in death we pass through the embrace of Papatuanuku (Mother Earth) - as to the moment we are born and given life.

Above Image: Our Business Card also designed by Caleb

In our Business Cards the faded logo "Te Kaihanga Maori Arts - In Life & Death" that sits in the bottom right corner represents the Spirit, Wairua of Life and Death - forever guiding us upon our walk while at the same time giving continued strength, hope, faith and aroha (love).

The soft background (lighter shade of browns/cream hues), represent warmth - even in death we are embraced in the warmth of our Tipuna (Ancestors) who reach within and touch us ever so gently to remind us - we are not ever alone.

Kia Ora
