Ngāti Porou Korowai Kākahu - Full Length

The Ngāti Porou korowai kākahu (cloak) is a beautiful and meaningful garment that represents the iwi's deep connection to their land, ancestors, and cultural heritage. The colors used in the korowai are not just decorative but carry significant symbolism that tells the story of Ngāti Porou’s identity.
Yellow represents Hikurangi, the sacred mountain of Ngāti Porou. Hikurangi is especially important to the iwi because it is the first place in New Zealand, and indeed the world, to see the sunrise each day.
Purple is a colour that reflects the deep ties the iwi has to their ancestors and mana (prestige and power). It speaks to the pride of the Ngāti Porou people, their cultural richness, and the strength and wisdom passed down through generations.
