Tuhinga o mua Waihiko

te Waihiko pūrākau provides a narrative that shows a Māori connection to the digital, technological realms and highlights the power we have to harness unlimited potential.

Waihiko is our interpretation of the atua (god) of electricity. An element that has always been there but only in recent times has humankind had the capacity and capability to interact with her.

The daughter of Tamanuiterā (The Sun) and Rua Korekore (the potential), Waihiko loved to race across the solar system with her māmā and pāpā. Pūrākau provide a framework for how we might engage with the different elements in our taiao and also how they behave.

E timu ana, e pari ana ngā tai o te ao hurihuri, ā, e pōkai ana tātou i ngā moana matihiko, ahakoa te tūmomo mahi, te pae tawhiti e whai nei tātou. He uaua te kite, te rongo hoki i te hononga ki te ao matihiko me ōnā rawa - he ao tauhou, he hangarau tauhou hoki. Me pēhea to tātou whakaū i ngā kawa me ngā tikanga, te whakamana rānei i te tapu me te noa i tēnei ao?
