Ngā tukutuku te pae tawhiti

Ngā tukutuku te pae tawhiti - Our goals

Ngā Tukutuku Te Pae Tawhiti are the woven panels that adorn Tākiri-ā-Nuku. Tukutuku panels tell the history, the stories of aspiration, the whakapapa and korero of their people. Two or more people weave the tukutuku panel, following a known set of patterns. Weavers take pride to perfect the patterns on both sides of the tukutuku panel. Tukutuku panels last for generations and the story is passed down from generation to generation.

The tukutuku panels in Tākiri-ā-Nuku tell the story of ANZ New Zealand from 2022 to 2040.
